How can I upload maps to my Garmin receiver?

GPS Utility - FAQS
Garmin software can upload vector maps (i.e. those consisting of drawn lines). However, Garmin have not published the interface protocol for uploading vector maps and so this function is not supported in GPS Utility. The best you can do with GPS Utility is to create tracks which can be used as 'pseudo maps'. You can do this by digitising tracks using scanned maps - see the Help topics 'mapping' and 'digitising'. The maps are a bit crude, but it does work for some purposes.

You never speak about "upload" and "download" for transfers from/to the Garmin. Why?

GARtrip FAQ
When looking through other programs, I found that some authors say "upload" when transferring towards the Garmin, others say "download" to the same transfer, and vice versa. Is this because some people put their Garmin on top of the PC (upload) and some put it below the PC (download)? No matter what is up and what is down, I refer to the PC program being the active part: writing data to the Garmin, and reading data from it. In most cases you won't need it any more, see next item.

Can I download All Topo Maps to my Garmin(tm) or Lowrance(tm) mapping GPS?

FAQ
The install program on disk 1 installs everything needed for all the data disks. When you ask AllTopo to display a map which is found on another disk it will prompt you to put the correct disk in your CD reader. Copy the SETUP.EXE from the first data disk to a temporary location on your fixed drive. Run SETUP from the fixed disk. I am printing, All Topo Maps indicates that the printout has been sent, but the printer never starts. See similar questions...
