    Hello, since Garmin Birdseye satellite was discontinued, is their a fairly simple alternative? I have a Drivetrack 71 and I used the Birdseye all the time. Can Google satellite imagery be used on the Drivetrack, or perhaps a different source for it?
    Thanks for any info.

    It is possible to produce your own custom map and download it to your GPS but it isn't simple, you can start with a picture of anything, say a screen capture of Google Earth or a plan of Disneyland, you can play around with the shape of this picture by superimposing it onto a real map so that locations on your new picture line up with locations on an existing map, having edited your new picture, you can download the custom map to your GPS and select it in the same way you would select a Birdseye overlay, it is not a very straight forward procedure however

    There is a Garmin Link Click HERE

    Thanks, I'll play around with it and hopefully it'll work out for my Drivetrack.
