SnowRanger Ski Resort Maps now Compatible with MapSource

Snow_rangerEarlier this month, I posted about SnowRanger Ski Resort Maps for Garmin mapping receivers. At that point I said that:

"...using these maps will overwrite other maps on the unit. This means that you probably need to take your laptop along if you're using your GPS to navigate to the resort via City Select."

It looks like the developers took my comments to heart, because they announced a couple of days ago that SnowRanger maps are now MapSource friendly. I can't wait to try them out!

Thanks Brian. As you know, from a sideband conversation, I checked two different browsers on two different computers, and I don't see the problem. Thanks for sending me the screenshot verifying it. Maybe it's another TypePad issue. They had a major meltdown a week or two ago. Does anyone else see everything underlined?

It doesn't happen with FireFox. Weird. I've noticed this before, however; I'm just reporting it today. Hopefully someone else can suss out the problem...

Garmin GPSMap 76CS Review UPDATE: The 76CS has been discontinued. We recommend its successor, the 76CSx, as an appropriate alternative. The Garmin GPSMap 76CS , while billed as a marine GPS unit, is very popular with landlubbers as well, due to its 115 MB of memory (enough to load highway maps for almost the entire state of California). An ideal unit for boaters, the 76CS floats and is waterproof, and comes with an Americas marine database that includes navigational aids. Confused about the 76 series? Here's the low-down on the differences. The 76 and 76S have black and white screens, while the 76C and 76CS are color. The 76 has 8 MB of memory, the 76S has 24 MB, while the 76C and 76CS both have 115 MB of memory. Units with an S have an electronic compass and barometric altimeter, while the C units, in addition to color screens, have turn-by-turn routing capability. Finally, the 76CS has recently been updated with the new 76CSx. 14 readers at Amazon gave the GPS Map 76CS an average 4-1/2 out of 5 star rating. Here's what the editors at Amazon had to say: "...The compact unit also boasts a 13 MB Americas marine basemap that includes...

Top posts of 2005 Thanks to everyone for the great reception you've given GPS Tracklog since its debut earlier this year. Before we move on to another year of exciting GPS news, reviews, tips and tricks, let's take a look at this past year's most popular posts (in no particular order): New Garmin receivers with expandable memory and SiRF chipsets. This post continues to bring in 20% of referral traffic. Of course, getting linked to by Engadget, the number one blog on the web, didn’t hurt! Stay tuned, because I hope to have more info on these units in another week or so. Word has it that Garmin is going to announce them at CES. Converting Google Maps search results to GPS waypoints. What an incredibly awesome tool for road trips. I use it every time I’m preparing for a vacation. Geocoding photos with TopoFusion. Some of you may be getting tired of me harping on this one, but I just can’t help myself—it is way cool. Does heavy cloud cover affect GPS reception? A favorite FAQ. The related post on GPS reception indoors was another hit with readers. My favorite GPS mapping software. As soon as my book came out, this became a...
