No, I never got back to playing with the DNR img file.

I was able to get the new Topo and the 2009 free trails from pinetreemapping combined and sent to both my 205 nuvii and my Astro. Thats all I neede for the ONE snowmobile trip I took.

Will maybe have time later to play with the tools to use the dnr img file.

Boyd,
Thanks for the help. It was just enough to help me figure it out again.

Ill have to try the tool kit with the new DNR img file.

Thanks.

the IMG file is a Garmin img file from the MINN DNR site. Says it works on Garmin. Last night I tried renaming it and putting it on the micro SD card of my Astro, but the trails do not show up. Will work on this later.
What I did last year was combine the MN topo from this web site. and the trails from another site that both had installers. I just cant remeber the procees for putting th etwo together and getting either on the unit or into the file on the SD card. I thought I used either base camp or mapsource. I have both. Guess i need to do this more often than once a year.
?

I feel stupid now.
I have a NUVI 205 and another hand held. A while back I loaded the Minn topo map and then combined it with the snowmobile trails map.
Fo the life of me I cant figure out how to do this with the new files I have downloaded. I have two options for the trails. One is shp files and the other is a img.
Help!!!

  thanks guys, Bummer, now I have to decide if I want to keep the 500 and use gpxtimg or not.
Sounds like I could use that with a cheaper large screen verion instead fo the 500???

So far from what I can find out this is not possible. I have spent hours on the phone with Garmin and they now tell me in order to load a track that I have saved it must be changed to a route. ???Is this true.
when I send the tracks that I see in pamsource to the unit it creates the new temp.gpx file on the unit but when I power it on no tracks show up.
If I change one of the tracks to a route and send the same stuff to the unit, that one route shows up. So I know the temp.gpx is being read in the unit but it seems to ignore tracks.
