Back Country Navigation
Hi
I am looking for input from current users. I would like to navigate the Death Valley area (roughly 100 x 100 miles)using detailed topographic maps. I have a Trimble/TDS Nomad with GPS and 8GB of storage. How easy is it to load maps for the area, load way points for my route, then follow my route?

You didn't get a reply from anyone else yet. I believe this should be super easy and a good application. I'd reccommend using BackCountry Navigator Desktop.
1. Start a New file.
2. Import a GPX file with the waypoints and tracks you want. Maybe from
3. Draw a rectangle around it. Or multiple rectangles.
4. Start the download.
5. When finished, copy the .db3 file to your storage card.
If you keep some screenshots along the way, I'd want to post the process here as a success story.
The area you need, using Topos only, will take up about 280 Megabytes, and will probably take several hours to download. Just let it run overnight.
