Garmin introduces custom maps for portable GPS devices
Even with the multitude of handheld mapping products available, sometimes the best map for a specific area or event is in printed or electronic form. In an ideal situation, it would be great to meld the printed map with your GPS to get the best of both worlds.
To make this a reality, Garmin today announced the availability of Custom Maps, a free service that helps Garmin outdoor GPS owners to transform the maps they currently have – in paper or digital form – into downloadable maps for compatible Garmin GPS outdoor handhelds.
