With the new version of this freeware software OkMap it's possible create custom maps from a unique raster map (also in ECW format!).
OkMap automatically creates a kmz file to send to your Garmin GPS.
You can calibrate a scanned map (georeferencing) with OkMap or download it (and automatically calibrate) from different map server such as Google, OpenStreetMap, MyTopo, ecc...

If you still want to use the free software ... I have the latest free version that works with no limitations for map calibration. Please, do not upgrade to a newer version ...
