I'll try and look for it in the other versions...

Try the shonkymaps option. Yes, it is old, and no longer updated, and basic info, but you can test out some topo maps on your GPS. The other thing you can do is make some custom raster maps but you have to calibrate them yourself, and it can be time consuming.ErichFromm wrote:I keep wanting to get some topos to load to my eTrex but they seem so expensive (and haven't worked out how to do the OSM thing yet).
