Title: GPS HELP NEEDED Post by: jaxraptor on December 19, 2004, 06:05:32 PM Hey atv bro's, I am kinda new to the atv world. So..I have a raptor and my son a CRF 150. So, we now ride ocala almost every weekend. Now, leading into my question...I bought a GPS, it's a Magellan Sporttrak map. (got that one due to getting a good deal on it) It took me a while but I can read it pretty good. I can now go for a pretty long ride in the ONF and feel comfortable about turning around and following my "line" back to the starting waypoint. It would be very helpful if I had an ONF trail map downloaded on my GPS. I think I seen some shots of it here, Grizz I think? I have searched the www and software isles everywhere with no joy. So, long story short..Does anyone know where I can find the ONF software for my GPS???
TIA, Jeff Title: Re: GPS HELP NEEDED Post by: Redgrizzly660 on December 19, 2004, 07:41:04 PM Its call Topo 24 east but I dont think it will work on your unit

But the only software I can find is from magellan but its more of a streets then a trail software... Other than puting in topo software and uploading when you come home from ocala so you can have your own maps I dont know of any...

I believe you can get topo software from Magellan but it will probably be of the entire US. You will only be able to load a small part of the software on to your unit at any given time.

I bought the street and trips software it has almost all of the ONF trails on it. It onlys has 8megs of ram but that is more than enough for the forest Actually 8megs is about 1/3 of the states just turn off all the frill and it will fit.Its really a good gps after you get the hang of it. I can email you some cords that you can upload from the forest Jerry Title: Re: GPS HELP NEEDED Post by: racemanfl on December 21, 2004, 02:12:30 PM I got the software at Sports Authority for 99.00 Jerry
