First of all, hi to everybody and sorry for my english!

I have bought some days ago an Dakota 20 unit and I'm trying to make my first CustomMaps. After several trials I've got to upload a couple of maps at last. The Garmin limits in size and number of tiles are not easy to understand for a rookie like me!

But my question is the next one:

I have some issues of the Kompass Digital Maps, Series a known austrian brand. My problem is how to download to my GPS the maps displayed. Apparently its software doesn't have this option, but I'm not sure if it is possible to do this in a make yourself way.

I also have maps of SwissTopo maps and, although not directly downloabled, they can be exported as .jpg, .bmp or .png.

I suppose it must be any software or procedure to convert these image files in capable Garmin CustomMaps.

Thanks in advance!
