I posted a request a while back for GPS map for the island of Saba and was told there were none for download.  While visiting the isalnd, I obtained a trail map for the entire island which has topo features.  Is there a way to us my scanner to scan various sections and convert to gps useable format?

Sorry but this is not the case, all I wanted to do was take that microSD card, stop using it in my old unit and start using it in my new unit.  Was told by more than one tech support person that this is NOT ALLOWED as the download is linked only to the orginal unit and I'd have to buy a new one for the new unit.

Ok I had succesfully download NE USA Topo part 1 to the unit, is there a way to download all 3 parts to the unit at the same time?  Seems like mapsource only lets you select one map at a time

I had to go through all sorts of time and aggravation to argue with Garmin and was told that I could not transfer a paid for copy of US Topo maps from an old unit to a new one.

Everyone please send a support payment if you download a map from this site.  It's only right to make even a modest payment for what you use so we can keep using these maps and the excellent free advise that comes with them!

just a quick question, if i download the first set to the microsd card and then later decide to download some more from another set...will it ADD to the card or overwrite what's there.  i.e. if i want all 3 sets should i load them all at once?

answer to previous post..."need this"  never really, just would be nice to have.  am going there a week from this Friday...never been...hear the diving and hiking are great

the coast line is rough in real life too  I'm a real newbie with this stuff , so I have no idea about the other technical parts of your reply, sorry

Thanks...actually was already transfering the first section to my unit as I read your reply.

I have had 2 rounds with Garmin on this.  I have an Etrex Vista Cx for some time now.  I have a microsd card with garmin's northeasth USA topo map that i paid for and downloaded from garmin.  Got tired of signal loss situations in wooded environs so I just bought the newer Etrex Legend HCX.  Garmin now informs me that I cannot transfer this map to the new unit and have to shell out get another fee.  Seems unfair to me (especially since had I bought the har copy disk, I would not be restrained in this manner).  Is there a work-around to change the link from the old unit to the new one?

Anyone happen to have a downloadable Garmin compatible topo map for the dutch antilles , specifically Saba Island?  Also would love one for St. John USVI
