The following projects involve creating custom mapsets for Garmin GPS mapping units. These mapsets can be uploaded directly into the GPS units or integrated into Garmin's MapSource (on PCs) and Garmin's Bobcat/MapInstall (on Macs). Please note that the use of custom mapsets is not supported by Garmin.
