Unlimited topographic maps that you can. Sep 19, 2012 I have a Delorme PN/40 that will not transfer data from Geocaching.com. I have replaced the USB Data Exchange Cable once and now the second cable that is only about 6 months old will not work. It seems like the 8-pin end on the GPS receptacle does not work. I have tried it on my netbook and a desktop computer and neither work.

I've had pretty good luck using Garmin vector topo data for Germany & UK with my Garmin eTrex handheld, but I assume I don't have any chance of using these products with the Delorme unit. Does Delorme's XMap software allow retrofitting 3rd party data for use with Delorme hardware?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & cheers

- DeLorme's XMap software is all about importing third party data. The question will become finding a source for the data you are looking for and making sure it is in an open and compatible format.
- Thanks for the timely response! I'm guessing it's a safe bet that the Garmin MapSource software is not open and compatible. :cry:
- I have looked at the xmap info on DeLorme's site and each time found all the different packages bewildering. Which package would be needed to convert raster imagery to their format? How about shape files? Is it the $200 'Xmap Professional' or the $750 'Xmap Editor'?
Finding free data in a variety of formats is not difficult in the US, as the government makes it available on many federal, state and local sites. In Europe I gather it is not quite so easy, and not free either.
Seems to me that the PN-40 wouldn't be such a great choice for use outside the US. You would have to make your own maps, and even under the best of conditions this is not easy. I make maps in a variety of formats myself and enjoy it, but I have a solid background with computers and CAD. Many people give up after discovering how complex a task this can be.
And it seems like the worst of both worlds to have to buy expensive proprietary software just for this. If you are going to make your own maps anyway, you might consider OziExplorer CE running under windows mobile or windows ce. I wrote about using this on a Magellan handheld here: http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/12646/x/p1/. For almost any mapmaking (regardless of platform) I would suggest purchasing GlobalMapper for its ability to import, massage, and export just about everything.
Regarding Garmin maps, if you purchased them from Garmin then they are proprietary and either cannot or should not be converted. But these are vector-based maps and not in the raster format which I assume you want for the PN-40. If you have free Garmin-compatible maps (like the ones from GPSFileDepot) then you need to look at the license. Some of them are not supposed to be modified. Regardless, you may lose something in the translation.
There are plenty of free or low-cost tools already if you want to make your own Garmin-compatible maps. There are also some free tools for making Magellan maps, including raster images (TritonRMP for example). OziExplorer is not free, but it is reasonably priced. Of course you won't get 'real' tech support with a solution like this though.
You can pretty much do everything with the $200 professional edition, and they chop the price in half to $99 for PN-series owners.I have looked at the xmap info on DeLorme's site and each time found all the different packages bewildering. Which package would be needed to convert raster imagery to their format? How about shape files? Is it the $200 'Xmap Professional' or the $750 'Xmap Editor'?
That will allow you to import custom raster imagery and the newest version of professional allows shapefile imports if I recall correctly. The cool thing is that the custom raster imagery can typically be handled natively with things like MrSIDD files without needing to perform image regsitration-- as other mapping programs can do as well. You can also scan maps or take PDF maps and perform image registration on them to make custom raster imagery.- Ah, I see.. it would be this:

I never could have figured that out myself from looking at their site! :lol:
But I really can't find a low cost bundle of this software with the PN-40. Looks like the standard PN-40 includes Topo USA and cost $400
http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?section=10461
And the Xmap bundle costs $650..
http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtdItemDetail.jsp?item=28745§ion=10481 - There isn't a 'bundle' with the XMap deal. (Kinda silly, I know.) But if you call them up and tell them you are a PN-device owner they will sell you XMap Professional for $99.
- Why do they make it so hard? Seems like this would be a great selling point. At another major forum there was recently a thread from an unhappy user who wanted to import shapefiles to his PN-40 and was frustrated that he had to purchase expensive add-on software. Nobody even mentioned the half-price deal.. And this was at a forum with a very loyal PN-40 following, so I suspect the Xmap discount is not common knowledge.
