Whoops, guess I wasn't very clear. I don't download that stuff to the 
Globalmap. I use the down-loadable marine nav map that came with it (vrs 
the street maps) and use the scanned nav chart in OzExplorer for trip 
planning and downloading way points and tracks to the Globalmap. I carry 
along printed portions of the scanned nav chart and printed downloaded 
aerial/sat maps for validation against the maps in the GPS info.
I don't like to get lost in the marshes. ;-)

Hope this is clearer,
Dave G.
