Hi Dave, I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 62s and have started to look more closely at the files on your page.
With the IMG file, do I just copy the image to the SD card or use something like Win32DiskImager? The reason I ask, I use Win32DiskImager when writing the Raspberry Pi image to the SD Card. Thanks!
