Archived Support / downloading maps to use while offline

« on: May 23, 2005, 07:38:16 AM »

I am going to be away from reliable internet access for the next few months and need to download photos and topomaps for about 4-6 counties to copy to a cd for use on my laptop.
Determining how to download to a file and move to a cd is not a problem, however I cannot get the computer to accept more than about 100 megs before it starts to copy over the previous maps.
I have about 50gigs available on my hard drive and have the options menu set to use up to 50% of the available memory, yet it shows in this menue that I only have 150 megs available.
What am I doing wrong?, do I need to adjust something else?

I am trying to load waypoints into a garmin 12map gps and every time I try to upload it starts beeping and telling me that the waypoints are invalid.
It will upload tracks however it only downloads the end part of each track.
Any suggestions?

Archived - Feedback and Comments / GREAT PROGRAM!!!!!

« on: April 16, 2004, 12:12:30 AM »

Just wanted to thank you for creating such a useful program, its the best $40 I've spent all year.
The simplicity, and power of this program to access maps and allow me to create maps to upload into my GPS's is tremendous.  I also like the fact that it allows my Magellan and Garmin to communicate with each other.
Within days of purchase, this program has become one of my most used programs.

Thanks
Bob

Archived Support / acreage calculation

« on: February 27, 2004, 10:56:17 PM »

In the features list it states that you can use a track drawn around a property to calculate the area within the area.  I cant seem to get it to do this and cannot find any mention of this in the help area.
Any tips?

Archived Support / loading a utm or lat/long file

« on: February 27, 2004, 10:53:24 PM »

I am having problems loading a list of coordinates which were sent to me from a client.
First, I converted them from an excell file to a text file like the example in the help area yet I cannot get them to load correctly.
the file that is set up with lat/long does not seem to have a place to load when I go to "open a file",
and the file that is set up with utm coordinates will load the waypoints but it thinks that they are a track rather than a set of waypoints. when i go to display this set of utms from norhern minnesota they show up as a line stretching from quebec to bc.
Can you help me?
