Thank you for your help Indrid, I installed 'Google Earth' and imported the GPS: waypoints, tracks and routes, the only down side is that there was no option to just place the specific coordinates that were placed into the GPS Device, just a pathway which the people had traveled. So now I just got a massive line that goes around all over the place but no clue as to where the exact coordinates are. If you have any information on how I may fix this please let me know I will continue to search myself but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Oh sorry forgot to elaborate, I already have a GPS device from Garmin 'GPSMAP 62s' which my company used to get coordinates on the island. I was just wondering how to transfer these coordinates onto a map on the computer. The problem is I can't get a map to put the coordinates onto. Are you suggesting that I get a map that can be put onto the GPS device first? before using the 'GPS MapEdit' software on my computer?

Hi, I'm currently new to mapping and map editing and pretty much need a lot of help. I was hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of what to do and how I can get a better understanding of all this.

I am currently trying to get a map of Samoa, for the company I work for, so that I can place GPS coordinates onto the map, giving me a display of area's that we will be working on. So far I have downloaded the software 'GPS MapEdit' but have no idea on how to get a map into this program. If I have no map then I have no way of placing the coordinates.

So my question's are:
Am I using the right program?
If so where can I find a map file to place into it?

Thank you for your time and am looking forward to any replies on this matter
