I've been able to load up location points as way-points without difficulty. However I have a problem when I try loading up trackpoints.(I havnt been able to get in routes- yet to find out how it is done.). Roads are loaded in as trackpoints. When I do this, for the first road, its OK after that, when I go on to load the second set of trackpoints for the next road, the pack gets into a strange behaviour of connecting up some end points, trying to make it into polygons!. So I end up with many unwanted straight lines on the map! Am still trying to find out why this happens. By the way the s/w is also very good at pulling out data from the GPS . So if I put it in my car and drive around, I can come back and get the route on to a map and then save it as .mif and finally pull it into MAPINFO- really fine. There is also, i guess, provition to use scanned maps after registeration. I've not yet tried it. For other MI listers interested, the s/w can be downloaded from www.gpstm.com and is worth a try if you dont have access to readymade map data like mapsend. regards Roy

I haven't tried loading MI Data to a GPS, but I think it should be possible with this program - You can open a MapInfo MIF file, and should then be able to upload it to the GPS. Hope this helps, Cheers, Stephen. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
