Hi KD,

This question is for anyone who has BN GPS. Is it possible to create
your own maps? for example, could I somehow put a map of my college
campus into the system?
No, you can't create and install your own map. However, you can create your
own points of interest (POIs), which you can then use to help you navigate
across campus. For example, you could record a point of interest at each
building where you regularly attend classes, at the student union building,
the bookstore, the library,
and other locations around the campus that interest you. If those prove
useful to you, you could then send those POIs to Sendero Group, who can then
incorporate those into the collective user POI file that gets updated on a
regular basis. That way, anybody else who happens to attend your college
can later benefit from them. As I write this, it occurs to me that on some
campuses, there may be buildings that you can't accessed by streets that
you'd find in the map data, so someone would have to use the "getting
warmer" method to find them, as typical route creation procedures involving
the map data won't work.
