Great series on the Garmin map tools that are available. I'm not sure how many posts are left on the topic, but don't forget to mention GroundTruth (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GroundTruth) which takes SRTM3 data and creates garmin .img contour maps of the region you specify. The maps can be set to transparent or not, have user defined contour intervals, and a number of other oopitons. It is a command line interface but is easy to learn with good wiki- documentation. It uses cgpsmapper and loads the maps into Mapsource. A great tool, especially when travelling to places where maps are not well developed. Enjoy! Koos Hi!
