Re: Has Anybody Here Ever Created A Custom Garmin Compatible Map?

Yes, I take .tiff or geo tiff files of Canadian topo maps, warp them using a custom piece of software, align them in Google Earth, save as KML files then import them into Basecamp and Zumo XT.

Re: Audio Mixer question

From my own limited testing - the "mixer" is a bit of a misnomer - as far as I can tell it's only providing three independant (not mixed) absolute volume controls - the sliders/adjusters do not change the volume of the items RELATIVE to each other - just independant absolute controls.

Cheers

Bill

My Basecamp has a LOT of data for the off-road trails I ride (mostly waypoints and tracks), and I am currently trying to convert all my ...
