Here's a silly question from a GPS newbie; I received a Maestro 3225 for my birthday (a great 30th b-day gift) and I'm having a blast with it. I'm planning a trip with another friend who also has a Maestro, and i was wondering if i can extract and then email the trip file so said friend can load to his GPS?
Is this doable or am i in newbie never-neverland?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

to Dano. I have no idea of the abilities of Maestros but perhaps these services can be used for your unit as well?

If I was you go into Google
If I was you go into Google maps, log in, create a custom Map with your Trip, Then Export to KML then Open it up with the Magellan editor or just save as CSV. This is what I did and it worked for me.

For your unit (and the whole Maestro line) the answer would be NO.
No maps IN and no maps OUT.

Map to CSV ???

What ?? I don't think so.
The POI editor does not deal with map files
AND
Map files do not translate to .csv files.
What ARE you talking about ??

The KML output isn't a map. It contains waypoint (and maybe routing) information.

Which the Maestro doesn't deal with either.
Nor does it deal with a .csv......for anything.

Oh, I believe you. I was just responding to the part about converting a KML to a CSV. The output is not really a map even though it gets referred to as that.
Couldn't you do a bakcup of
Couldn't you do a bakcup of your GPS via SD card tell your friend to do the same keep the file in a safe place grab your card load the map, then after the trip is over, bring his SD back and do a complete Restore?
.
That wouldn't work.
Save to favorites
If the Maestro 3225 can save favorites can't you just save the best areas as favorites?Then use something like EasyGPS and pull them from the unit then load to other GPS or make a file to download.
