i was wondering if you could combine two maps. i have the georgia topo loaded to mapsource and handheld. the ga. dnr has infra red maps of wildlife management areas with the boundries outlined. is there any way i can combine the two maps on mapsource? can i copy the boundary lines from the dnr provided maps to map on mapsource? any answers would be greatly appreciated. thanks ahead of time.

i downloaded the Ga. topo to my vista this weekend. went hunting on sunday and tried out the handheld w/ the topo map. the area i hunted, which is pretty remote, was very accurately detailed. beyond my expectations. now i have to get confident with my unit in the thick woods, in the dark. i need to activate the compass. how thick of cover can you actually be in and still receive a good signal with a vista hcx? thanks

i live in georgia and will need topo on gps for hunting in georgia. which is more detailed, the georgia topo or the s.e. topo? thanks

i purchased a garmin vista hcx about 4 months ago. i have not even took it out of the box. i will be using it mostly for hunting purposes. our season does start until mid oct. i have had a ton of other stuff going on since i purchased it, so no time to fool with it. i have owned other handheld gps models for offshore fishing since the early '90s. i feel that i am not a gps neewbie, but green to downloading maps to handheld.

i am contemplating on buying a garmin topo 2008 dvd. is this the best topo map for this hendheld? i went to the garmin site and previewed my area and it did'nt seem too detailed. i see that there is a feller that created a s.e. topo map that is free to download from this site. can i just load this instead of buying the garmin topo map? has anyone used the s.e. download from this site? any info would be greatly appreciated.
