I believe about two years ago someone made a utility (or procedure) for converting a raster image into a vector waypoint mapset.  I never tried it as I have one of the newer GPSr which can display raster images.

In the long run, I think you would be happier saving for one of these units.  There were some fairly good sales for Black Friday.  Likely to be some more this spring.

Boyd's got it - MOAGU.




YEP.  Your are right.

GPSr Units / Got new GPS from Amazon for Christmas
December 31, 2010, 03:30:12 AM
My folks ordered garmin 60cx from amazon as a Xmas gift for me.  When I got it, I saw that they ordered the 60 in lieu of the 62.  I want to return the unit to Amazon for exchange on a different unit.  Hope they will do it.
Reading this forum, I am now totally confused.    I want a unit to use in the woods. 
So help me here..  What is the unit to get.  I do want aerial photo maps  (Birdseye type) perhaps custom made aerial.
I don't have to have the best, but I do want a good GPS.   I have a zumo for my auto and mcycle, so this new unit is just for hunting or hiking.  Do I get GPSmap 62, 62 S   or Oregon 300 400 .
For those of you who are in the know,  which unit is the "Best buy".
Reviewing this forum, it looks like I would be well suited with the Oregon 450.  $350 range
gpsmap 62 is about the same price.  Help please   jsr in hsv ar

Map Making Support / are aerial maps available for 60Cx

Can I make a custom map from Goggle Earth that can be converted to a file usable by Map Source?  or is there another way to get a map showing aerial views in lieu of topo.  MS is flat, and elevation changes do not really help much.
