I am fairly new to map making. I have a Garmin 62s, and have already spent hours installing maps from this site and learning how to use them on my GPSr.
I am trying to make a map from an existing KMZ file that the state of Minnesota has on their DNR website of all the Wildlife Management areas. I also intend on doing the same for the State Forests, Parks, etc.
The KMZ file is found here:
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/compass/wma/kml/mndnr_wmas.kmz
it includes boundaries for all of the WMAs in Minnesota, as well as parking areas and other POI.
I started by using GPSBabel or KML2GPX converters to convert them to a GPX file. Then I tried using EZimg or GPX2IMG to convert them into a img file to display as a map. The converters seem to make a decent GPX file (all the boundaries become tracks) but when I try to convert these GPX files to a map, the tracks won't convert or I get errors like "layer 0 missing" I am wondering if I going about this the correct way. Thanks in advance. If I get this figured out, I will be sure to share them here.
