Hey guys and gals,
A friend of mine just purchases a Magellan (used) from another friend.
I know that the track files from the Magellan can be used with the Garmin. I know, because the first owner has sent me files to add to the "big file".
My question though, is for the second friend.
First, I know he cannot use the maps that I create. (I use gpx2img, and can manually make them the hard way too.) But, is there a way for him to load my track files to the Magellan? I can send him the gpx file, but I don't know if that is possible. I do know that apparently the gpx file works with Delorme.
Thanks,
Adrian
he probably should be able to use them.

Thanks.
I am not sure how to help him though.
I have a Magellan Triton 1500 but never use it anymore. Magellan has a program called VantagePoint which is their equivalent to Mapsource for exchanging data with the GPS. My recollection was that it was pretty buggy, but maybe it's improved.
Anyway, I don't remember the specifics of Magellan's format but you or your friend should be able to convert in either direction with a program like GPSBabel: http://www.gpsbabel.org/capabilities.html
You may even be able to do it online with GPSVisualizer: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/
Hi Adrian, it's Bob. I just gave my Explorist XL to my son in-law a week ago or I could test it for you. However I think the link below will convert gpx to Magellan.
