Hi,
I've been trying to load a map into mapsource using mapset toolkit 1.62 beta.
The map is from http://sites.google.com/site/talkytoasteruk/ukmaps
I'm trying to load the latest full UK map with contours and routable.

The map seems to convert OK (are there any log files??? ) but when i try to open mapsource i get a message: "There is a problem with your Garmin application"
selecting OK, just shuts mapsource.

Can anyone offer some advice to get this map loaded?

Thanks.
Dan

2. Can I use these maps in MapSource?

No, not at this time, sorry.

Thanks for the reply.

That clarifies it.

Is there any alternative software to mapsource to to use so that i can use the img files on a PC?

Basically, i'm trying to upload the systrans cycle routes of UK, so i can plan rides. is there any other map or software i can use?

Again, thanks for the reply.
Cheers
Dan

Those particular files are already pre-compiled, just drag and drop.
