Hey, I haven't tried yet but don't want to waste my time.  Can I download a map on my desktop and simply paste it on my memory card and use for my PDA?  It takes a long time to use the PDA for all the downloads and it kills my battery.  I'm a beginner but want to make sure this program is for me before purchasing it.  By the way I LOVE IT so far!

Yes.

Use BackCountry Navigator desktop and simply copy the .db3 file as any other file.

no error msg... it crashed once when i double clicked a map file to open it, ever since then , I ve had to download with desktop to view with desktop... reinstalled several times.

my tracks still show up though, so I made a rectangel around them and "download maps" but the data wasnt even close... different region

I've been able to transfer files back and forth many times.

If you a file with this behavior that isn't too large, could you email it to support?

A few megs or less would help, because ISPs tend to strip of attachments larger than 5 megs.
