I have no img file.  My cgpsmapper is installed c:\program files (86)\cgpsmapper.  When you refer to my batch file, do you mean the "batch scripts" I downloaded from this site which came as "cgpsmapper.bat"?  If so, do you mean put cgpsmapper.bat and TrialTrack.mp in same folder and double click on cgpsmapper.bat?  Not on the individual files as per tutorial #9.  I know this sounds so simple to you but I'm trying to comprehend it step by step not really understanding what's taking place.  In the words of one of my friends, "I'm old as dirt" and have turned on a computer for the first time in feb 2010, but I'll get it.  Thank you       lb   




                                                                                                                   

If cgpsmapper output an img file I can't find it.  Where would it be?  What about the disappearing transcodeQ file?  Your quick and dirty does sound easy but I'm still confused with it.    lb

OK, I must be a simpleton.  Here"s what I've got.  I ran 3 small tracks thru mapedit following Seldom's list and ended up with TrialTrack.mp...ID12345678    in my gps maps folder.  I downloaded batch scripts and copied the 3 files to release-version-1.00 folder along with cgpsmapper's exe. and sendg.dll files.  I opened transcodeQ in notepad (ok?) and typed in TrialTrack.mp...double clicked transcode.batch...double clicked process.  I saw cgpsmapper black screen come up briefly and disappear and then I had a transcode.log file but no transcodeQ in release folder (is that normal?).  I opened mapsettoolkit...clicked select img files....pointed it to release-version-1.00 and it said   No files containing 8 digit ID.  I tried drag and drop TrialTrack.mp to notepad with same result.  Both times I had to go back to my download and copy transcodeQ back to release folder.  Seldom, I did not try your quick and dirty command line suggestion because I didn't quite understand.  Command line is totally new to me.  Any ideas anyone?  It's probably simple and just me.  Once again   Many Thanks         lb

You would need to use MapSetToolKit to get the .img file(s) into mapsource.  See:http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-.img-files-into-mapsource-with-mapsettoolkit      This is still a step ahead of me because I haven't been able to convert to img yet I loaded it into the gpsmapper "box" but couldn't get anything to happen.  It had the path to mapper exe labled but nothing would move.  It's like there is no way to initiate it.   Any how,  thanks for the input.     lb    Ok I just got Seldom sn's post so I'll try that after a while    Thanks

I apologize for not responding back on your replies until now but something came up I had to attend to.  On to the task at hand.  Boyd: I followed up on your link gpx2img but it's still not up and running.  It sounds like the ticket though.  Seldon sn: I followed your advice and did all the steps and ended up with a transparency mp file and tried to export to mapsource img through cgpsmapper that came up and then I've stalled.  I'm missing something at this point and not sure what and would appreciate more advice.  Thanks again!      lb

It seems like I've seen this topic before but I can't find it.  I log my tracks to the data card (Map60csx) for obvious size reasons and then upload to the PC.  I would like to take groups of say 10 or so logs and convert to an overlay and reinstall in unit.  I have both mapsource and basecamp (which I prefer) and mapedit(unregistered) and Depot's SE Topo.  I've read the tutorials but they deal with a lot of information I don't need.  It's probably simple but I need step by step. Do I also need Toolkit? Many thanks!!      lb
