<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE> <P>I'm trying to use the Topo product to create a list of trails that I can use to enhance my Garmin topo maps.. I can use the Topo Route tool to draw lines, but the only way to transfer these lines to my GPS is to either create a route or a Sxxt-load of waypoints. This doesn't scale really well. I'm not really interested in waypoints. but rather a visualization of trails. </P> <P>Most GPS devices have track points which have a much better ability to scale a large number of points. They don't tie up screen real estate with point information, but rather give a nice trail line. I maintain all these tracks on my 276c and use these to mark trails I've been on, so as I meander around, I can see trails I've been on. However, the true value of a GPS is to know where to go, not just where I've been. I'd like to take maps created by others in Topo format and transfer these to tracks on my GPS.</P> <P>A feature request worthy of a donation...</P> <P> </P></DIV></div></html> |
