(Product #3059) By far, the easiest way to get your own maps into the TeleType GPS software is to use the TeleType Geocoder program. This program converts any JPEG file into a TeleType GPS raster map. This sophisticated program takes into consideration the formation of the earth. The program compresses BMP images by a factor of 10 to 1, which means if you have a BMP file which takes 100k, your TeleType JPEG will take only 10k.
