Title: Change map files?
Post by: drahth56 on September 12, 2010, 03:08:49 PM
I am really new to this. I have a DeLorme pn20 with Topo USA. I've had it for several years and didn't use it much. I now just got a Garmin Astro and I like it that I can keep track of my dogs. Question: Can and how can I change the Delorme Topo map files to something I could use on my Astro? Thanks, this is a great site.

You can't. DeLorme and Garmin use completely different map formats. Even if there were a way to change the Delorme maps to Garmin format, it would violate the Delorme software license and it couldn't be discussed here.

OK thanks, I was afraid of that.

But you can download plenty of maps for your Garmin from this site.
