I want to create a Google Map and Upload it to my Magellan GPS. I also want to distribute that map (free)? The software that comes with the GPS device is pretty basic. It seems like it only has major highways on it. The route I am creating is part on-road part off-road. National Geographic provides TOPO maps but they are expensive and really don’t fill the bill either since I need streets in my map occasionally. With Google maps (or Yahoo maps for that matter) I could use the satellite imagery to help me create the route, but then I want to upload the finished route to my GPS. It would be a plus if I could then post the route I make on a website. The GPS is a Magellan Triton 500, if that makes any difference. I am reluctant to spend another couple of hundred on software packages only to find they don’t help. I've used Google Earth too, but again don't want to get into the premium service. There has to be a way to create this easily without spending more than time.

Magellan GPS/Google Earth? There are extra numbers in the coordinates I got from Google Earth than I can put in my Magellan Explorist 200. GE gives 38 09' 54.36 N, but GPS only would let me put in 38 54.360 N. Did I drop the correct coordinate or should I try something else?
Anyone have a GPS system with traffic alerts that actually work? I bought the Magellan GPS with traffic and it doesn't give me a single alert! I-25 can be at a stop for miles and it doesn't notify you anything is wrong. No construction alerts either and I pass through the ones at I-76 and 225 and again at I-70 and Ward. I'm wondering if Tom-Tom or Garmin work any better or if it's just Denver area that sucks for alerts.

Does anyone know how you get more detailed maps in the Magellan eXplorist XL GPS? I want to get my son a handheld GPS for Christmas so he will have maps when he travels in the Military but the unit I am testing only has my region loaded in it. It won't help him one bit to have Oregon maps if he's stationed somewhere else (which he will be). I don't know anything about adding maps into the units. I am sure it's as easy as hooking up a cable but: Where do you get the maps to begin with? Is there a download site? Do you have to buy the maps? Where would you buy them? How much would they cost? Would they have detailed maps of countries such as Iraq (because I know he will end up there eventually)? Thanks
