I can't believe I never tried this. I guess I just got use to people telling me it couldn't be done. I'll be at the summit and will be more than happy to load people's 7100s with whatever they like after Ed shares if he did anything special other than "load SD card with maps". (I have mapsource 2008 dvd as well)
Thanks for this thread Ed. I will be watching with interest. I too am tired of having to use the laptop. The only problem is that I have so many map notes and draw files I wonder if they can be downloaded also. Probably not.
I have tried to upload custom tracks without success. The only thing I've personally been able to do is upload custom POI breadcrums with info about where to turn for certain trails. Doesn't beat a laptop, but it's better than nothing and you can use proximity alarms with them.
If someone could figure out how to get tracks off and on the 7100 that would be stellar
From what I can tell you'd have to build your tracks & waypoints in to custom maps. When i finally get a kenwood system I'll add all the CO Off road trails to my custom topo maps, it'll probably be a while though.
right.. fully custom maps.. that's an option I never would of considered before Ed stumbled upon this. Great work Ed. I'm buiding my SD card now (you're right it's NOT fast).
