If anyone wants it, here it is:

If your not racing, i would suggest staying off the course

If you ARE racing, i will shut up and go crawl in my hole now!

Yes, Mapsource should be open.

1-Save the file to your puter
2-Open Mapsource
3-Open Saved files
4-Download to GPS
5-Get Some

Dont forget step 5

While on the subject of Garmins, anybody have a download for the streets and areas in Ensenada? Or know where one is. The maps for ours only has the USA and Baja is very very limited.
