What I think is that your base map has better detail than the world map .. in your area.

Frank,
I agree with what you are saying. I want to get the detail from my handheld into the laptop for trip planning purposes and to see on the big screen what is on the tiny screen (I'm an old fart.) Do you know how I can peoceed?
Thanks.

To my (limited) knowledge .. you cannot do it .. You may be able to buy a more detailed map and use that .. City Navigator , Metro guide ? .. but you cnnot get the base map off your gps onto your PC..

Found a website on my Welcome screen of my handheld and went there. Lo and behold it is the company that supplies Garmin the detailed map of Argentina installed on my 60Cx. They offer free downloads if you have MapSource, so now my laptop matches my handheld!
Thanks for your help,
Steep

What you are using is MAPEAR a GPS Community Project and NOT a Garmin product.
As a member of that community I was posting about some time a go. You can read about on: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...-amerika-20602 and also on GPS map software for South America? - ADVrider
The maps made by Bob or “Smellybiker” use an old version of Mapear for Argentina and others parts of SA, because we let him use. So better have both hehehe!!
On the other hand and on depends off my limited knowledge, come to visit me again and I will give you a little free Mapear course. Bring yours toys. (my 60CS its on fix)

Javier,
Thanks for the offer. I will try and get by there next week. We are finally heading out on our first decent moto trip to San Carlos de Bariloche next Saturday.
Garmin must be buying the map of Argentina from Mapear, or just taking it from their website, because it was loaded on my handheld out of the box.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
