I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a place online to upload and share baja waypoints and routes? I know David K has a website for his waypoints but I think it would be kind of sweet to have a place to share routes and waypoints for those of use who are as addicted to maps as we are baja....

Is there a way to share files on this forumn?

Still in the old country but heading back to Baja next week. Before I left Baja I loaded selected areas of Mapsource Topo for about 6 states as well as both Baja maps, and the same US state areas using City Source. (256m card)

This in a map76CSx

This works seamlessly between maps as I travel. If I zoom in enough the Topo lines show. I use the "unclutter" setting to keep the maps easier to read - and if you have a external power source, have the back light on all the time and it again improves visability of the screen.

I save all my tracks using OziExplorer on my laptop, so I can project my travels on a larger map. (Also save them to USAPhotoMap for another computer screen view)

Just finishing a trip of about 4500 miles and have saved all the tracks in the 76Csx also, as well as writing all the tracks to the memory card. Forgot the adapter so can't view it directly in the computer till I get home but think I might not have to bother saving the segments if the track written to the card is what I want. Time will tell on this. (have a registry problem with MapSource it so have to reload when I get back home)
