Map Making Support / Making maps from assembled tracks
« on: March 14, 2012, 08:50:07 PM »
Hey all, first of all, thanks for the great resource. I use a number of the maps made available here, and hope to able to contribute some day.
I've been working on a project to map out the trails in a local park for a club. I took a bunch of recorded tracks and cleaned them up in ExpertGPS. I also traced some trails from satellite imagery. In the end, I have a GPX file with about 60 different tracks. I thought this would work out, until I loaded this GPX onto my Oregon and discovered I'd have to enable showing each individual track on the map.
Is there a solution? Is using tracks for map data like this a bad idea? I've downloaded a few of the trail map packages here in GPX format, and man, it's a hassle enabling individual tracks.
Thanks,
Korey

GPSr Units / My trails multiple copies on oregon 450
« on: October 27, 2011, 05:52:40 AM »
Hello all-
I've been having good luck with the maps here, with one exception. When I install some certain maps onto the SD card of my Garmin Oregon, I get multiple entries in the list of installed maps (the one you see when you go into Setup > Map > Select Map).
I use BaseCamp, and have a number of maps installed (IL topo, My Trails, NE USA Topo part 1 and 2, etc.). I renamed all the .img files on my Oregon card to another extension (so I have no extra maps available). Then I used BaseCamp to install maps. I selected the "My Trails-High Quality Trail and POI Maps" and selected all segments and installed them.
I've done this multiple times, and each time I get those multiple entries in the list. Is this a known issue? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Korey
