Thread: Where's the best tutorial to make maps?

@lohtse,

Start with the Garmin site:

and

There are lots of sites that show you how to make you own maps for Garmin GPS Unts.

Also try here:

Thank you for those links...

Sadly none made reference to OSM data... which is what I had mentioned in first post...

Also the GPSarchive link only has information for GPX to img not creating maps(at least I could not find one)


As too "There are lots of sites that show you how to make you own maps for Garmin GPS Unts."

I am aware of many sites but though I would ask here to see which are recommended by fellow forum members... Most of the site tutorials I have seen are out dated or seem over complicated.... So asking here I thought would be a better start.

@Edward Norto,

Very good posts.

The problem with lohtse is that he wants a new and updated way to make maps.
Well these sites as you have pointed have been there for a very long time and and they work and are not out dated.


@lohtse,

There is enough info on how to make your own maps one way or the other.
It is up to you to learn how to do it.

I quote you:

"Most of the site tutorials I have seen are out dated or seem over complicated."

How do you know they are out dated or to complicated if you do not try to make any maps????????

If you do not understand making maps then I would just use what is out there that will work on any Garmin GPS.


So the best thing for you to do is read and try read and try.
