Sometimes it's just not possible to get the exact map you are looking for to go on your GPS unit ... but the fact is it is possible to create your own!! It's unlikely that you'll want to re-create the whole of the US or Europe - but you may want to create one for your local golf course (complete with water hazards) or your local lake (complete with sand bars) !! You'll need to download a few tools from the net ... and it does take some time to define and draw up your map.

It is recommended that you set your Primary Home into your nüvi. Most have already done this.

For many GPSRs take course as a synonym for track defined below. So a course in many GPS receivers is the "line" (planned route) from your starting location to the destination or the line from the previous point to the next point which would be a leg of a route. The track in many GPSRs is the direction you are actually traveling over ground.
