[Qgis-user] Create Garmin Custom Maps from QGIS as background maps for your GPS

[SBL]

Dear all

Today, the GarminCustomMap - plugin reached a beta-version status.

The plugin exports the current map-canvas into a 
http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2009/11/garmin-makes-custom-maps-free-and-easy.html
GraminCustomMap-file (.kmz) , which can be used as a background map on
compatible Garmin GPS units. See:
http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={7aca6c60-ac37-11e0-d01c-000000000000}

It has been successfully tested on a Windows XP and a Ubuntu machine, but
further testing would be very much appreciated.
Hopefully, the first stable version will be released soon (after external
testing).

If you are running a QGIS version <1.8, add 
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml
http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/plugins.xml  to the 3rd-party repositories,
to get access to the plugin. It is still marked as experimental, so you
would have to check that experimental plugins are listed.

Cheers
Stefan
