[QUOTE="walshie1000, post: 156851, member: 4955"] Gday mate, I think I can help with one if your questions. I use a garmin GPS for moty riding and now prospecting. I have downloaded a series of maps online including topo maps and just add them to the garmin via a memory card with a folder called garmin with the image files of the maps within. Just a way of getting around spending hundreds on maps as the base map didnt even have my street in suburbia listed or tracks in the bush for that matter. I have saved tracks in the garmin a while ago, from memory they save as .kml files which you can overlay on Google earth. From what I understand there I'd also a range of free software you can use for editing routes and adding waypoints etc. I was also able to create tracks on Google earth and save them as a .kml file so the garmin would recognize them and I could upload them on the garmin for reference. It was a bit fiddly but does work. Hope this is of some help. [/QUOTE]
