well there are a few programs that let you scan draw edit etc.. a map
and put it in the correct format for your gps and then all you gotta do
is upload it(of course ull need the latitude , longitude etc.. for it
to know the location ..thats it or so i believe lol

Fugawi, I think will convert to many formats. I have a copy, but I never
figured it out.

Sounds like he's simply uploading waypoints, not the map itself. My advice
on the Big O would be "Just go fishing man!". Waypoints only go into my
unit while I'm on the water, catching fish preferably...

ive got the garmin ique 3600. i never really use it so i was planning
on editing the map and uploading that with like the depth and submerged
structure..but ill probably just end up leaving it home and just going
out fishing.
p.s. - i wasnt looking for anyones secret spots (waypoints) lol . i was
just looking for a paper map that someone has scanned and could send me
cause ive never messed around with editing maps and all that stuff .ive
searched the net and only found one map

http://www.fishokeechobee.com/ Look at this link and when you get there
stop in and talk to Greg MacLean. He was Very helpful on info on the lake
amd very nice. The lake isnt that deep so I would just tget the Hotspots
map for it.Enjoy as I had my very best fishing down there and looking to go
back very soon.

Doesn't your Garmin have the mapping software for Big O?

yes go-bassn they do but the garmin mapsource-lakes and recreation cd
costs like 200 bucks so thats why i wanted to make my own .i dont
really use the gps for fishing that much so i dont want to waste the
money and only use it once.
