Wow, yeah I think that is a little beyond my abilities.  I was hoping I could just pay someone else to do it for me lol.  As for the Rino, I just purchased it last spring without knowing they were coming out with a new model and without knowing that it doesn't allow customized maps  .  My hunting season starts in a week which doesn't offer me much time to upgrade to the newer version, not to mention how much more it cost.  I guess I will just use the regular topo and cross reference the old fashion way with a paper USDS map.  Thanks for the info everyone.

I have tried all of the maps for Washington that here on GPSFile depot but none of them have the detail that I see on a USGS map.  I am talking about the old school double dash line logging roads/trails. I have attached a sample of a USGS map that I am talking about and looking for.  The Washington TOPO maps on this site do not offer the same detail.  I have tried purchasing some Garmin maps and a spendy map from HuntingGPSmaps and still haven't found what I am looking for.  I know that National Geographic has the type of USGS map I want but I am not able to load them onto my type of Rino.  Somone who has the knowledge and skills to create maps should make one like I am describing.  I would happily purchase it and I know several other hunters who would do the same.

Hi,

I am struggling to find any USGS maps that I can download onto my Garmin Rino 530.  Does anyone know of any maps available for download or how I can get a USGS map of Washington State onto my Rino?  I have downloaded and purchased several maps but none seem to have the same back road detail as the USGS map.  Another issue is that when trying to download a KMZ file of a USGS map I get an error saying that my Rino cannot upload custom maps.  I have tried surfing the web to see if there is a way to convert the KMZ to an IMG or some other type of file that the Rino will allow but I am not finding anything.  I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks,
Jesse
