Digital maps.
Currently I am in Costa Rica, heading for South America. I hoped to find maps along the way, but have struggled to do so. I have scanned the forum, and have a basic understanding of what is available. Laugh out loud you may,I have a computer with Mapsource and a Garmin GPS MAP 60 CSX. I am simply at the moment using the GPS as a compass, and using paper maps. It works for me, a computer light weight. I have downloaded maps from Open Street Maps site, but Mapsource will not open the file, I also downloaded a Smelly Biker sample map that I could not open, but since downloading OSM, Mapsource will now open the Smelly Biker sample map, but nothing else. I would be happy just to have a map that I can save to the computer and use offline if that is possible. Is there any simple way or any suggestion that the enlightened out there may have, once the laughter has ceased !!
Thanks. Andy.
