    Lowrance BAJA GPS - How do [I]you[/I] use it?

    Are you talking about saving a track in the GPS onto a card or loading a saved track into MapCreate? I have never been able to load my tracks into MapCreate. I gave up and use another software now for that.

    Lowrance BAJA GPS - How do [I]you[/I] use it?

    FYI...You will not need Lowrance software or card reader to load routes, waypoints or tracks. The card reader is only needed to write the maps to the card. I have an SD reader built into my PC, which makes transfering data both ways very easy.

    Lowrance BAJA GPS - How do [I]you[/I] use it?

    I use ExpertGPS to plot detailed tracks to load into my 540c. It really helps in Colorado, where MVUMs can be a bit confusing while on the trail. I use a fairly large memory card which holds maps of a number of western states and hundreds of plotted tracks to run and actual tracks I have...

    Plotting a Route without Garmin Software?

    Try ExpertGPS. It has a free trial version. It will not put topo on your GPS, but you will be able to use topo and aerial maps to create a route and then create a file compatible for it.

    Import versus USA warranty cameras

    I will add another iron to the fire. Many of the internet sellers who are offering "WOW" deals on imports, practice "bait and switch" and other deceptive trade practices. I saw one operating under a dozen different names.

    Import versus USA warranty cameras

    A search will find this subject was touched on several years ago, but not thoroughly discussed. The prices of imported equipment is significantly lower than the same item with a USA warranty. Is it worth the risk? Does price point rule? How common is it for someone to send in a camera or...

    Found a trailer. Should I try to deal with the rust?

    Sometimes you don't know the extent of the damage until you sand blast it. If you are not doing a strict restoration, you have a lot of options. Look closely at the tub.

    Where did you get your Photoshop CS4?

    I appreciate the advice about Lightroom. I downloaded the trial version a few days ago and tried it out on some photos from last years Colorado trip. Many had two spots that I did not notice at the time. Lightroom fixed most of them very easily. I picked up a book and will try out as many...

    ExpertGPS

    I use ExpertGPS much the same. The mapping software that came with my Lowrance Baja 540C is good for loading maps on the GPS and that is it. ExpertGPS has features that help me plan my trips and create maps of the trails. Recently the ability to toggle between topographic, NF MVUM and areal...
