Anyone Up it To a Website Yet?

Working on it, The computer I was using stopped reading the newsgroups lol
so I had to fix that. I am uploading the files to a website now. If
everything works correctly I'll repost with the url in a few min

It worked, after I lost my cable in the middle of the transfer I was a bit
hot but I fixed the cable ( high winds here tonight )

Here is the link to the files you asked for, They are in zip format and it
is a 19.1 mb download

Probably a good choice.

I think that basemap is stored in ROM and can only be loaded at the time
of manufacture or by Magellan repair centers. And if you lose the
basemap you would have to send it back to Magellan for repair.

Also the detail map image files on the newer Magellans, if that is using
one for the street level detail, are all written to only work on one GPS
receiver, it uses the GPS receiver's hardware serial number to make sure
that it only works on one specific unit.

And lastly, in Magellan's recent change of ownership and with some of
the changes coming out of that, I've heard some reports of people have a
hard time contacting or getting replies from Magellan for support and
repairs.
