Hi Dave,
I just bought a Garmin GPSMAP 62s and have started to look more closely at
the files on your page.
With the IMG file, do I just copy the image to the SD card or use something
like Win32DiskImager?
The reason I ask, I use Win32DiskImager when writing the Raspberry Pi image
to the SD Card.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Fred
