Hello.

I'm kind of new to creating maps and paths on my new Garmin 450t. I'm going to use it on my fall BC fishing trips. Many of the lakes I fish are located on logging roads that don't exist on many maps. I'm trying to use Google Earth as a path creater. I can see the logging roads from the satellite imagery. I've created many paths and saved them as .kml files. When I try to import those files into Garmin Basecamp I get an error stating there are no groundoverlays. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried to create a path near my home in California to see if that made a difference. It did not.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Look at Garmin's Custom Maps program and see if it might help.

Thanks for the reply. I found a site that converts the kml or kmz files to gpx. I save the new file to the desktop. Then I import that file to Basecamp. From Basecamp I can export it to the 450t. A tedious method but it works. I now have all my logging road routes on the 450t. Hope they work. Getting lost in the bush in BC can be an unpleasant experience.
