rws Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 This is my upgraded map which has the trails color coded...trans-Quebec trails are blue/white border with square shaped floating trail numbers, regional trails are green/white border with rounded shaped floating trail numbers and local trails are magenta/white border. It took a lot of manual manipulation to produce this map so if you find any errors please let me know so I can correct them. This map will display correctly ONLY on late model color Garmin units that support TYP. For non-color and older Garmin units use my other map. Be sure you have the latest version software for both your GPS and Mapsource...which can be downloaded from Garmin's website for FREE. Download new map here...open zip file and read the READ_ME_FIRST.txt file for installation/use instructions. Quebec GPS Trail Map Screenshot from a Garmin 276c showing how trails will appear.

S pump Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 RWS............I had just downloaded your other map without numbers a couple days ago. How would I replace that one with this............I need the GPS for dummies procedure. I have a 60 cs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to remove the old map from Mapsource go to Control Panel...Add or Remove Programs and select Quebec Snowmobile Trails 2007 and delete it. If you want to use the the new maps just install it into Mapsource and upload the new map to your GPS...any time you upload maps to your GPS it replaces the previous maps that were on the card....so noting this if you want to upload Topo maps and the trail map they must be uploaded together in one shot.

Yes, they have to be cleaned up some. There are some duplicates of stops (gas,food,lodging) also, because they were not all mine. It will give S pump something to do. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

favarcat Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Took duplicates out and other un-needed waypoints. About 100 less. http://www.mediafire.com/?fmg242asgva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artcat900 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Dont know what im doing wrong but keep getting an error message in Mapsource that it cannot open file. It seemed to install ok but indicates it is not a valid mapsource file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favarcat Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Do you have the latest Mapsource version on your computer? Should be 6.13.5. You can download it on Garmins website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can convert from any format to GPX. http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobraap Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 RWS, Since I am not one to follow directions I installed the color one on my GPS V monochrome anyway. It seems to work fine. The trail numbers show up on screen and they ID when I put the cursor on them. This is just what I have been looking for. The TQ trails show up like interstates and the greens show up as secondary roads. I will let you know if it works on the trail. I used the other version this past weekend and it was great.
