GRMN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Garmin International, a provider of satellite navigation, announced the availability of Custom Maps, a free process that helps users transform the maps they currently have - in paper or digital form - into downloadable maps for compatible Garmin GPS outdoor handhelds.

"Free Custom Maps can be used by anyone wanting to bring their favorite locations to life," said Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of worldwide sales. "Potential users include new students on college campuses, experienced hunters on game areas, and the millions of visitors to zoos, amusement parks and botanical gardens."

Through a few steps, Garmin's Custom Maps can bring the details, labels and landmarks on a user's existing paper or electronic map to a compatible Garmin Oregon, Dakota or Colorado, outdoor GPS handheld.

Compatible with both PC and Mac, this free service complements the myriad of mapping products already offered for Garmin devices, including City Navigator, NT for turn-by-turn directions on city streets, Blue Chart g2, for marine charting, and TOPO U.S. 24K and 100K map software for incredible terrain detail (each sold separately).
