Satellite Imagery

Zor

For some of you, you might be interested to know a little bit more about how you can get satellite imagery onto your own GPS. Well recently I have been doing a lot of research in this particular department so I thought I would share the results with everyone. The work I have been doing is for Garmin units but I believe that part 2 & 3 could be altered for Magellan or other hardware.

To better organize the information, I have broken it up into three parts:

Part I – Satellite Imagery on your Garmin GPS Part I – Birdseye

Part II – Satellite Imagery on your Garmin GPS Part II – Mobile Atlas Creator

Part III – Mobile Atlas Creator Video Tutorial

Hopefully some of you might find this information useful.

  • I merged your two comments together to put the link with your main comment. Hope you don’t mind. Your initial comments have to be moderated which is why you didn’t see the comment appear right away. All comments from here on in should post immediately.

    I think I saw an article similar to the one you did about the overlays. It’s a very cool feature. I really like the Mobile Atlas Creator since it does integrate well with multiple map sources.
