Hi Brett > 1. Display the Garmin img file. Ok I read that I will need to use the > tblfile option but what next?
Open the TDB file via "File->Load Map". Next you will be asked for a basemap. That will be the img file that covers the complete area of the map. The detailed tiles will be found by the information in the TDB file. > > 2. Overlay Bing images over the Garmin IMG view. Open the attached file (bing.tms) via "File->Load Map" and see: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qlandkartegt/index.php?title=Overlay_maps_with_other_maps > > 3.

Using contour lines to calculate tour profiles is a very poor approach. The commonly used gradient algorithm are poor for tricky mountain areas. But as you have created the contour lines you must have a source with the elevation information. If that source is in a format understood by GDAL you can attach the data to the map by doing a right click on the map in the left hand list and select "Add DEM...". > > 4.

In the route tab (the one with the upward arrow and the point) is a tab with a "?". That explains how to calculate routes vie online services. But keep in mind your Garmin will not care about what QLGT calculates. It will calculate it's own route with a result of it's own. You can use your vector map to plan routes manually: http://www.qlandkarte.org/screencasts/qlgt_plan_tour.htm http://www.qlandkarte.org/screencasts/qlgt_edit_tour.htm The resulting overlay line can be converted to a track or a route. And vice versa. In fact if you want to tweak the position of points in a track or a route you have to convert it into a distance line. HTH Oliver
