Map Making Support / Garmin Oergon 450t and Expert GPS
September 23, 2018, 04:01:45 AM
I have been using a Garmin Oergon 450t along with ExpertGPS for years with good results. I like to load custom maps into the unit depending on my needs. I either use historical USGS maps or ATV trail maps.

The Oergon is getting old, the back lighting now has a lot of dark lines in it so I will be needing to replace the unit soon. Some of the topics I read is the newer Garmin units apparently make it harder to use custom maps, trying to force you to use their software instead of third party. What would be a good suggestion for a replacement unit?

I also looked at other topics concerning ExpertGPS, but the topics are several years old. Some of the issues discussed must have been fixed over the years, such as drawing tracks with branches. This is the main software I use with the GPS unit.
