I am supplementing the geographic data provided in mapsend to include
boundaries that are of interest to me(state parks, my property
boundaries, etc). Many of these boundaries are discontinuous
(composite of multiple open strings and closed polygons). I would
appreciate any suggestions on methods to accomplish this.
So far a tracklog is provides the most satisfactory visual
representation. POI's and routes really clutter the display on the
GPS. I start with by entering lat/long coordinates into an Excel
spreadsheet (using an "exported tracklog" as a template). Importing
this into MapSend provides an excellent of both open and closed
boundaries. The boundary can then be saved as a .trk tracklog file
and downloaded to the GPS. MapSend can display multiple CONTINUOUS
tracklogs simultaneously provided that each track is located in its
own unique file. I had hoped to find a way to designate
discontinuities so that multiple boundary segments could be included
in a single file. This does not appear to be possible.
The Explorist seems to have additional limitations. So far I have
been unable to view multiple tracklogs simultaneously. As an example
assume that I want to view my property boundary and that of the
neighbors property simultaneously.
1. represent discontinuous entities in a single tracklog file???
2. OR view multiple tracklog files simultaneously on Magellan
Explorist 600
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
