rob 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 Several members have requested a place to collect GPS info.. I think we will try this pinned topic first and see how much interest there is. If it is active we could expand it to a sub-forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shane 22 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Wife got me a Garmin 60CSX for Xmas and the Toponav Quebec trail maps. We tried to download the maps several times with no success. I am not techno savvy so anyone who would be willing and able to lend some help it would be greatly appreciated. Anyone in the Albany NY area? Thanks in advance.

S pump 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I downloaded that map and it looks perfect. It lays over your base map and doesn't erase the area because it has clear background. I asked him if it was ok to link to it haven't heard back. Very complete and accurate from what I can see and he has been doing maps for other areas for a while and everyone who uses them seems to praise his work so it should be ok.

favarcat 8 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I have the NY map from him on my gps now and it works great. Works the same way as this QC map. I have the QC map on my computer and the quebec tracks that I have already made coincide perfect with this map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rws 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I'm working on my Quebec trail map adding trail numbers and color coding the trails as trans-Quebec, regional or local. I've got the western 1/3 done...trans-Quebec trails will be blue/white border with square shaped floating trail numbers, regional trails will be green/white border with rounded shaped floating trail numbers and local trails will be magenta/white border. Here's a screenshot from a 276c showing how it will look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doobraap 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 looks great. Any idea how that will look on a non color screen? Think it will translate in to shades of grey?? I currently use a GPS V. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can I load your new one and will it delete the base map? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
favarcat 8 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Go into windows add/remove programs and delete the QC map you have on your computer now. Then just download his new one and start over again. Every time you load a new map set onto your garmin, it will erase the old one, but not your basemap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
