Can this DeLorme PN-60 upload tracks to Garmin MapSource or BaseCamp software? I have Garmin .GDB files and would like to just add to them.

No, DeLorme stands alone with its mapping software.. To transfer the Data from the DeLorme you would have to save the track info as a file and then use something like "GPS Visualizer" to convert to Mapsource etc.. If you have used Garmin for a while it can be quite difficult to acclimate to the DeLorme software, but if you work with Delorme enough you will find that the map packs and software are far supperior. Hope this helps.

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/

It looks like that's the purpose of the POI Loader software that you can download for free from Garmin. http://www.garmin.com/products/poiloader/ I doubt the added addresses would be routable, though.

Maps are downloadable from Delorme and can be loaded to the PN-60 by sync from the pc or copy the maps to the SD card. This is one of the major reasons I like the PN-60.

i dont know but with my old GPS II+ works perfectly!, i just installed the driver USB to serial contained in cd. Set the Interface GPS Garmin II+ to GRMN/GRMN. In my case i used Mapsource & all is ok.

I think the garmin topo maps are just OK. Not enough detail for me. They show BLM land, but not enough trails for me. I ride dual sport off road. I purchased the DeLorme Topo v.10. Much better. Every trail, every view, great routing resources. Don Taylor, Chandler, AZ

Not automatically. The TomTom MySports Connect software that handles syncing for this watch allows you to upload to sites like RunKeeper and MapMyFitness automatically, for everything else, it also exports files for manual uploading. In particular, it exports the Garmin TCX file format which is somewhat universal. The real problem is that Nike+ is pretty much a closed system and doesn't allow you to upload activities from other devices - if you search around, though, you'll find that someone hacked up a web application that allows you to upload a Garmin TCX file into Nike+ - I have no idea if it works or how long Nike will let it work, but it seems like it's possible. Fundamentally, the problem is Nike+, not the watch. You can sync the watch with almost every other running app/site out there.

I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time). But this post suggests you can upload MAPS?? That would be wonderful, but I don't think so.This is a direct quote from the NG website, as of april 2007: "Note: Waypoints and routes will be transferred to your GPS unit, but maps cannot be transferred or viewed on your GPS unit."There is a related product from NG, called "Pocket Topo", that puts the maps on a PDA. So if you have a GPS-enabled PDA, that's how to get NG maps combined with GPS. But it does not work with a normal GPS, e.g. a GPSMAP 60CSx. You have to have a PDA with GPS, which Garmin and others sell. I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time).

I just bought a Garmin 60CSx, downoaded all of Garmin's Mac software from their website, and bought the Mac-compatible maps (as well as loading some of the free topos available) and, other than a few minor glitches, it's been great.I have an Intel iMac.

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

In my experience, it sort of works as a standalone, but it uses an odd GPS format that most mapping software can't interpret. You're probably better off with a more generic unit.

I've used many gpx files from RideWithGPS with no problem. I would assume a similar export from MapMyRide would work also.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

You should be able to use it anywhere. It will give you a track and will tell you your speed, altitude and other things. It has no base map though, which you maybe don't need.

Only if you have installed the original NuMaps. It is an upgrade wich did not work on my Garmin. Returned it and got the actual program which worked

Rodolfo why do you need it to work with your Garmin 510?I use it to capture all ant + info that my Garmin would usually display to my laptop so that my software can then control my trainer. I will try and investigate this and let you know.
