Can you import a .KML file into a Oregon 450?



[LazyHikerCOM]

@supra619 In theory yes. BaseCamp support import of .KLM file directly. So import into BaseCamp then upload to your Oregon 450.... But in reality BaseCamp is a bit buggy in importing, sometimes it error out without telling you why.... But if you are determine enough, you should be able to do it eventually (with some text editing of the .KML file)

This is a complicated way. It is easier to use the Russian program SAS Planet.

My Oregon 450 says "Image too big" and does not load the custom map. Apparently Oregon will not take more than 1024x1024 size JPG images within the KMZ. Any video instructions on how to use MAPC2MAPC or other tools to deal with this limitation would be greatly appreciated.
