Get the OSM map

• The taho.pl script has a option to generate directly calibrated maps to use in TurboGPS.

Example: taho.pl -coord="10,47.54,7.58" -coord2="47.48,7.66" -turbogps=yes

For Windows users the faster way would be to use the taho.exe. In the screen you have to choose the filename with the Coordinates.

Both tools you can finde here: Taho

This generated in the /map directory files like this:

7.55859375_47.4874452560027_7.6025390625_47.4577407945593_1024_1024.png

To get these filename you have to select "Koord." not "Nr." as in the picture above!!!

Maps in the Turbo GPS Application even the Cyclemap

Get the tracks

Menu: <Tools><Track Record><Start recording>

Options appear. Try speed 1 Km/h and Turn 10 Degree

At the end: <Tool><Track Record><End recording>

Do not normalise as this seams to corrupt file.

Before Exporting optionally <View> <Tracks> <Edit> <Rename>

To export: <View><Tracks> select the Track and export in GXP Format. press <NO> to save as Track.

Save on external card, if possible.
