[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 465463, member: 3008"] Since at least the Garmin 62 this has been doable but Garmin locked up the Firmware to prevent it being that user friendly unless using the paid Birdseye subscription. And even then the image resolution was apparently not that great. The Garmin 62 could display the high res images but the screen resolution is the let down. Interestingly, some consider "[i]these maps[/i] (the Google overlays)[i] are absolutely useless in real life[/i]". Each to their own I guess. I think you can get far more detail in the landscape from a hi res image and topo than just a topo map alone. [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26353[/url] [/QUOTE]
