I would like to know how to do this also

use base camp instead to load up the img file much easier than extracting them as there are 200 odd files in that one img file...as i found out lol

What's your problem? Garmin maps are mostly very easy to handle.

...but if you pay the flight from Europe, I can come and help you :D

Well for a start what are you viewing on PC? if pc then download bluechart v10 thru torrent
and follow the nfo file to load it up. topo maps are a different story. i used
cgpsmapperFree and just renamed the img file to 12345678 and it opened up the mapsets
then i used the typ file from here for higher contrast and on from there. you do need not have bluechart to view topo you can use basecamp ( but the topo needs to be installed first) but i find bluechart easy cause it can do both and i switch between set's. i am in whakatane so can help a lot more thru txt

hi, thanks for your reply. basically i have no idea what to do or what to look for. car navigation eg igo software im fine and complete understand how to use that but im now looking to see if i can get topo and marine maps for my portable gps unit and to be honest not exactly sure what torrent is best or what to download so any advice or help would be much appreciated.

thanks chris
