AFAIK, Garmin GPSs only accept the proprietary Garmin maps, unfortunately.
That's where your Libretto comes in, as a map server for the GPS signal.

Heya Lee,
That sounds right... But somewhere along the way in the past few years I
thought I read that someone had put out a hack to enable uploading
non-Garmin maps to their GPS's.
But what about this statement from the OziExplorer home page?:
http://www.oziexplorer.com/
"This is the official web site for the OziExplorer GPS Mapping Software
which runs on your PC or laptop and will work with Magellan, Garmin,
Lowrance, Eagle, Brunton/Silva and MLR GPS receivers for the upload/download
of waypoints, routes and tracks and most brand of GPS receivers for real
time tracking of GPS position (Moving Map)."
"...upload/download of waypoints, routes and tracks" ????
Also... I think the Lib server is messed up again. I just posted 4
messages, and only 2 of them came back. I'm not sure if this one will make
it.
Matt
