Anyone use the beta unit softwares??? This one increases BirdsEye numbers...

Oregon x50 software version 4.49 Beta: link

GPSMAP 62/78 software version 2.95 Beta: link

I see that Garmin has upped the sive of the download recently on BirdsEye files, Yeah! But I have read in a couple of places that the units will only load 200 .jnx files. Anyone have some personal experience with that other than hear-say?

If you want this feature with BaseCamp, make your voice be heard here:

even if you don't, it would be nice if you could support those of us who would.

Thanks everyone.

I'm sure there is tons of notes on installing Mapsource to my Garmin NUVI 750? I'm looking for installing, moving back and forth from my regular street maps to the topo's and general tips and help. Is this in a forum? I searched a little bit and must have looked in the wrong places. I am not a rookie to GPS technolgy and computers but don't want to screw up my NUVI 750. I have used Mapsource for years. Thanks for any help in advance. Chad

I like that they have made this available via a card purchase. Means I can buy a card and send it to an associate...

Looks like the Brits are going to make OS data freely available April 2010.

Is there a list around for selecting type for POIs? I have several shapefiles where I'm having to select less than optimal types.

Maybe a custom type would be better. Thoughts?
