Hi again,

I was earlier in this thread recommended these tools for my Garmin:

http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping/
http://moagu.com/?page_id=155

I have tried the first MAPc2MAPC with good results and it was possible for me with this tool to make a kmz file which worked well on my Gramin eTrex30.
Wil there be any additional benefit in using the second tool (G-Raster)??

Thank you. I have used MAPC2MAPC to do the job. It works fine allthough the map on my eTrex30 updates a little slowly. The total size of my kmz file is about 88 MByte. Maybee I should try to rescale to 75% or something like that? I guess I have to do som trial and error here to get some experience!

Map Making Support / eTrex30 map question
May 06, 2012, 08:23:27 AM
I made a new map of a greek island saved as kmz file.
- where do I place it on my Garmin eTrex30?
- Is it possible to see the map when I am not located in the map area?

Thank you both of you for the answers. Then websites and programs looks very interesting. I will dive further into the subject!

I conclude that JPG is the best file format and the solution might be as good as possíble and as the memory in the GPS allows.

Best regards

Hi everybody,

I have just purchased a Garmin eTrex30 and would like very much to load it with an image map of my favorite Greek Island Samos. I can scan a map but would like to know the best image fileformat and the best reslution for the Garmin.?
Also I would like an advice on how to "georeference" the scanned map?

Best Regards
