For those of you who've bought/registered my Moagu program to convert raster maps into Garmin format, the beta of version 2.0 is out, and I'm looking for feedback:

You also need to have the free version of cgpsmapper installed on your computer:

If you haven't registered it, the new beta increases the spatial extents available in demo mode, making it more useful if you only need small map segments (about 1.5 miles x 1.5 miles or so); it's free in demo mode.

Biggest changes:

- mkgmap is now the default compiler; it compiles maps about 30 times faster than the current free version of cgpsmapper, and 150 times faster than older versions.

- Includes a de-collaring utility for standard USGS 1:24K topo maps (NAD27 GeoTiffs only)

- I've optimized the GUI front-end to the BMap2MP vectorizer utility to create decent-looking USGS topo maps with much faster draw times than standard Moagu maps (2-3 times faster). A new tutorial section in the help file walks you through the process of creating these. These are now fast enough to work OK on the older 60C/76C models. I've created an installer with a sample USGS map that you can try out:

This has both the installer and a GPX waypoint located within the map (to simplify finding the map location).

I don't have my 62S yet, so I haven't been able to test out this BMap2MP topo map on the newer Garmin OS that runs on Colorado/Oregon/Dakota/62/78 series; they should work, but I'm not sure. If someone could try it out on one of those models and let me know if it works, that would be great!
