How to Retrieve Free USGS Topo Maps .. Used to Create OziCeExplorer Map Files

MOBAC .. As you may know, one of the powers of the Magellan GPS series is the ability to make your own maps.  In the Triton GPS Series some users used a program named TRITONRMP.  Unfortunately this program does not work on the new Explorist X10 Series.   So we would like to direct you to an excellent program named the Mobile Atlas Creator. Mobile Atlas Creator (formerly known as TrekBuddy Atlas Creator) is an open source (GPL) program which creates offline atlases for GPS handhelds and cell phone applications like TrekBuddy, AndNav and other Android and WindowsCE based applications. Additionally individual maps can be exported as one large PNG image with calibration MAP file for OziExplorer. As source for an offline atlas Mobile Atlas Creator can use a large number of different online maps such as OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, Microsoft/Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps and many more online map providers. The program can create offline atlases for a large number of different (mobile) applications and GPS handhelds including: * GPS Sport Tracker * Magellan RMP (GPS handhelds) & VantagePoint * Maplorer (Windows CE/Windows Mobile) * OziExplorer (single 24bit PNG image with calibration (MAP) file and many others. It also allows you to: * Prepare atlases consisting of multiple layers, different map sources map resolutions (zoom levels)... [NOTE: We suggest levels levels 20, 17, 14 & 12] * Save and load your favorite atlas compilation as profile to/from file * Merge different layers using Drag & Drop * Create map tiles using custom size and image format (PNG/JPG) * Fast download of map tiles using simultaneous multithreaded download (number of threads configurable) * Downloaded tiles are cached locally - avoids multiple downloads of same map tiles, and much more. Computer Requirements: The Mobile Atlas Creator is written in Java and runs therefore on a large number of platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X,... As a Java program Mobile Atlas Creator requires Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 14 (v1.6.0_14) or higher installed on your computer. Additionally a high-speed internet connection is required as long as Mobile Atlas Creator is running. By default Mobile Atlas Creator uses up to 512 of RAM. Additionally free disk space is required: Downloaded tiles are cached in the system temp directory and addionally tiles are cached in the tile store (local database). You can download MOBAC from this site but you should visit the MOBAC website at http://mobac.dnsalias.org/
