Hi all
Thanks to this forum, I became aware of Shonkymaps (a very inappropriate name!). I have a Garmin C510 Streetpilot in the Prado and a Garmin Vista C for geocaching.
I downloaded Shonkmaps and I also had Garmin's Mapsource software that came with one of my GPS's.
The net result is that I now have topo maps on both of my units FOR FREE!
Hats off to the guy who put all of the effort into creating Shonkymaps!
Everything went absolutely smoothly, not shonky at all.
I do wish that I had spent the extra on the Vista Cx that would have allowed me to plug in a micro SD card and then be able to store every Australian topo map. As it is, I only have 24Mb internal memory and that stores the east coast from Cooktown to Sydney. No real problem as, when I travel, I will just install the maps I need.
I installed an SD card into the C510 Streetpilot. Now, if I travel to The Cape, the roads don't stop at Cooktown!
I am soooo happy! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers - John
