| Thanks Phil for the site. However, when I downloaded and installed the
Caribbean maps, they were in .img format and my MapSource only opens .gdb,
..mps, .gps, and .loc. Do you know how I can convert these.
Thank you.

There's a group for carribean maps on yahoo that has what you are
interested in. The group is called Carribean_Maps and you go to
groups.yahoo.com to subscribe.
If they maps you want are no longer there I have some of the originals
on CD somewhere from a few years ago (pretty big) and I can dig them
up.

Sorry about that - the group I pointed you to points to the same
location you already went to.
Well it is simpler than you think. In fact if you go back to the site
the instructions on what to do is the first item in the links session
at the bottom. You don't have to open a file. You select it like you
would chose metro, city select, topo, etc. There is a drop down box
to do this in the upper left just below the menu.
