Tomtom GPS on the Trails

[carpenle]

Hello Everyone,

I have a Tomtom GPS unit, I am wondering if anybody has used this for the trails. Can you download the files from Traildamage to the Tomtom unit? Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks,

Levi

If you do not use Tomtom, what units are you having success with?

I am currently using a Garmin Montana 600. I a very good GPS and I love it. The only down side is the cost.

iPad with gps and a blend of different software including
iTopo maps (offline downloadable)
Motion X HD (offline downloadable but does not always display offroad trail information no matter which source I choose)
Galileo (awesome software but have not tinkered with it much)
Global nav, cool idea but seems slow to load maps and I have not tinkered with it much.

My favorite is overland navigator but he has not finished writing the software for iPad. Only available for PC.

I've an old Magellan SportTrak Color and the Topo USA series of maps. Works fine but the LCD is tiny tiny tiny.

I was able to get a POI added for jenny creek added, but not sure how well it will work.

I use Back country navigator with my Samsung Galaxy tablet. Great maps, downloadable over wifi. Each state takes about 1gb. Can zoom into 1/4 mile scale. imports tracks and poi's from traildamage and anything else. Also have topo USA for my garmin as a backup.

You can load offroad navigator onto the TomTom. Once that is done you can screenshot maps from google earth of the area you will be in, and put the lat and long of the map corners into offroad navigator. I haven't tried using it much yet, but I have started loading maps into mine.

I've used a Garmin Nuvi 265W once before, just for the POI's from Traildamage.com and the breadcrumbs. It works fine for that.

Ive been using a handheld Garmin unit for a while.
The Oregon 550t

And Ive also recently used nüvi® 3590LMT as well, and it worked fairly good however i still prefer the Oregon 550t.
