My little Garmin eTrex Legend has complete searchable streetmaps of New
Zealand on it that puts the "official" Garmin "child's scribble" NZ
worldmaps to shame.
There is software out there (mapedit + sendmap) to do just this job.
I >thought< I had read something about such programs in the past. Thanks
Fran.
I'm having problems posting to the list as I pointed out in my message to
Dan CCed to the list. Dan's list software gets buggy with SPAM, and
sometimes doesn't relay all messages to everyone.
My replies to Ander's, Meir's, and Lee's messages never came back to me.
Did anyone else get them?
Matt
