I’ve just uploaded version 1.3, which adds some major improvements:
- The option to rescale images that are too large for Garmin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last post, I covered G-Raster, a free program I wrote that converts georeferenced imagery (GeoTiffs, MRSID, BSB, IMG, and graphics with worldfiles) into KMZ overlays compatible with some of Garmin’s more recent handheld GPS models (the Colorado, Oregon, and Dakota series). While G-Raster does a good job by itself on most such imagery, like that [...]]]></description>

No editing, export or additional info in this app, just display; but Zonums has other web apps like Digipoint and MapTool for that.
