Etrex legend mapsource download

Good luck! I got some advice this afternoon on how to download from mapsource. I was told on another site just now that due to it's unique interface cord, the eTrex Legend can only handle the purchased basecamp maps. Uploading a 3. Will update you within half an hour whether it worked or not Yes, it worked and the unit displays the map. Upload was done from Mapsource 6. I suggest you use that instead, Basecamp and Mapinstall seems to be part of Garmin's "great new software paradigm" and I don't think I ever saw anything in the software work as intended The softwares share the same map sets so if the map is visible in Mapinstall all you should need to do is to download and install Mapsource and that will display the map for upload as well.

It's not a "unique" interface cord, it's just an old serial style interface. That may be your problem. Finally, double check that Basecamp is looking on the serial ports and not the USB ports for the Legend I honestly don't know if BC can do that, since I still use Mapsource to transfer maps and keep track of my waypoints even with my Oregon Like I said, I don't use Basecamp yet Unfortunately, it won't send it because the map set is 8.

It said to select fewer maps, but I'm only selecting one map. When I went to send the map to my GPS I also got a pop-up window saying to lower the "baud rate" if the transfer didn't work.

It tried that, but it made no difference. Is there some box or drop-down list that I'm not ticking that's causing the map to have too much information on it? Unfortunately the size a map tile takes up is fixed. If it can't fit in the GPS, then there is not much you can do. However, I happen to have the Ibycus Topo 3.

That's also a free map of Canada. Tiles of the absolute southernmost part of Vancouver Island seem to take up 5 MB - so try that one maybe?

Northwest Topos includes southern VI. With a unit that old does it even have a color display? A review on the GC says it comes with a worldwide base map. If it is like the basemap on Garmin GPSrs,. Best to actually test the units under consideration at a local store. Size, display size, shape, etc.
