Thanks N. Search YouTube for "Wonderland Garmin 405" that is what really peaked my interest.Ok, I was able to find the watch at City Sports. I love it and it finds satellites in about 30 seconds or so.I connected it via Garmin Connect fairly easily (using my Dell D620 Laptop and Windows XP), but I can't find how I can export the GPX files anywhere?

You can use it - I use my Garmin Edge 305 for Geotagging photos. Make sure you sync the clock of the camera and the GPS though first - makes life easier. You'll need to export them as GPX and use a program like Geosetter (for Windows) or HoudahGeo for Mac to sync the two together.

You can not load normal GPS maps into your Garmin Edge or Forerunner device. However, recently CourseMapper was launched. It is a site that allows you to create custom maps using Google Maps as a reference, it lets you import and create waypoints and courses with coursepoints (coursepoints are garmins waypoints that are located on a course). The CourseMapper website lets you save those files to either .gpx or .crs format, or you can send it directly to your device via usb using the Garmin Communicator Plugin.Check it out at: http://coursemapper.hostsnake.com/

A simple app for your smartphone will address your needs with a much better UI.That said, he unit can act as a stand alone GPS device. You will record a large number of lat/long coordinates that eventually will turn into points on a map. That is achieved by eating the unit in Log mode. My preferred solution, though, consists in ensuring each photo or video is properly geo tagged. That means storing lat/long, elevation, orientation and other params as exif data points.

You can add courses, at least. Step 1: http://www.marengo-ltd.com/map/ Plot course on map, putting in waypoints Step 2: convert from gpx format into crs format: http://www.gpsies.com/upload.do?uploadMode=convert Step 3: Import into Garmin Training Software (.crs files are only importable on PC at present time) Step 4: Upload course to device Make sure you have the latest version of the training software (later than March 7, 2007) or else the 'virtual training partner' feature might not work properly with your imported courses.

You'll find that the eXplorist GC has an older software, but the firmware is up-grade-able, but for "me" it only transferred using Win ExP. I had a lot of problems with the GPS freezing and had to remove the batteries. Spend a little more money for a Garmin.

So this is a tricky question. On my unit, I can upload bike routes that I have downloaded from sites like Geoladders. They show up under saved routes. I can just upload them, start the route then the GPS will guide me. There seems to be relatively frequent map updates but I don't know how (or if) you can upload a new large scale GPS map.

You can create waypoints and a track which you can easily upload to Google Earth. You can also for example mark a start point and waypoints as you hike and then follow them back so that you don't get lost. Unfortunately, the basemap that comes with the GPS is too large and will not show the detail of a typical topo map. It is quite easy however to download free topo maps that work quite well on the eTrex 20 or 30. Just google "topo maps for Garmin etrex". It is not difficult to do.

I live in Brasil and have Forerunner 110. Works well here, in US, in Europe. GPS systems are global. Sometimes it takes more time to get signal but works perfectly here in Rio. Connecting it to Garmim Express I can see roads/trails and even altitude change on the map. There is no geographic restriction. Should be the same with your cell phone or other Garmim GPS devices. My Garmin GPS system for my car works in USA, South America, Europe... never had problems.

Hi Lynda. First. Download the soft ware.program. garmin express from garmin web site. Www.garmin.com. on you computer. Pkug your garmin data cable to the computer. And follow the prompts. If you don't have memory card you can costomize the maps to usa only good luck

I don't think Garmin has topo maps to most countries. Even if they did, you'd only be able to load a relatively small area as you're limited to 24 mb. There may be workarounds to use non Garmin maps, but they are beyond me.

Not that I am aware of. While it is in use, it merely records data. The connection to a computer via USB is only for downloading previous tracking data and updating the unit. From that point you can use the bundled software or better yet load them into Google Earth. I use it on my remote control aircraft: http://i.imgur[.]com/Z67jgN5.jpg

Yes. Just be sure to set the GPS unit to the 'Log' setting. Canon provides a MapUtility that you use to download the GPS log. On macs, there is the ability to export the logs to Google Earth

No, it uses your Android or Iphone to upload the info to Garmin Connect which you access through your computer.

I don't own this series, but since no one has answered your question, I'll try.The Topo maps appear when using 2D mode, not 3D (AFAIK). As far as photos (I've never used this feature on my Garmin), but I suspect you can take any picture you want and load it on your Garmin (just make sure they are small in size). Photo navigation I also haven't used. Check the Garmin manual (on line manual) for more info on this.

It transfers data too. Instructions provide the link to download software to your computer, and then from that program you upload your data to your computer - something close to what Garmin provides.

Hello, According to Garmin's customer service, I was told that the older models such as mine, The G2, were no longer being serviced. I also discovered that I had a model that was considered "obsolete". The newer models use a version of Blue Chart cards that are SD-friendly, and mine used the non-SD card, so I had to search for the older non SD-card online. I finally found one that worked on my Blue Chart through Amazon.com. E bay also had the same card-chips, but they were a bit more expensive. I hope this information has helped you, and good luck!
