Hi Pedro

The quick answer is not really. No.

You can use GMap to GPX (GMapToGPX | Communications From Elsewhere (http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx/)) to take google maps routes and put them into a GPX format. However youll need a nag that supports GPX, im not sure if navman does.

Google maps on mobile device has the ability to save maps for offline use however you do loose the navigation ability.

You can use Mobile Atlas Creator to download google, or many other for that matter, into a format that a device you own can support, but again, you wont be able to plot courses with it, rather youll just be able to see where you are.

Thanks Daisy
Do I upload this to the navman or put it on an SD card and load it that way?

To be honest im not 100%.
Most Navs run a windows based OS so their software just inserts the file into a folder on the mass media device. youd need to defer to the specific instructions for that model/make

Hi,
I have taken the kml file from Google maps into Ozi Explorer, the exported it as a gpx file. With the GarminNuvi connected via USB, I put the gpxfile on the Nuvi and loaded it asa track.
Not allthat difficult, just a bit of afiddle.
Cheers
