Leave the New Image Overlay dialog box open and go to the location tab. Change Show Lat/Long to Decimal Degrees Then hit OK. Select a location you will be able to find later. Select Raster from the Menu Toolbar at the top then select Conversion then Translate (Convert Format). It can be saved as a temporary file or you can change the name and location. In the window that opens you want to change the Target CRS to Project CRS which should be EPSG:4326. Select Raster from the Menu Toolbar at the top then select Projections then Warp (Reproject). Warp (Reproject) and convert to a GeoTIFF The image will probably stretch and distort a bit. Select EPSG:# located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Once it has been loaded you need to change the projection.

You can simply drag and drop the downloaded geo-referenced image into QGIS. Use the link to download geo-referenced maps, Google another other source or geo-reference a regular map. Copy coordinates from Google Earth to KMZFactory, Save KMZ Warp (Reproject) and convert to a GeoTIFF SOLVED? According to the Keyhole Markup Language docs, a KMZ file is just a ZIP file with a modified extension. Yesterday's hike would have been much more comforting if I could have seen exactly where I was at in the park.Įdit: I forgot about MapTiler, tried that as well! I am hoping someone can help me find a way to load custom maps into my GPS so that I can use maps like ones you find on State Park sites. No resizing, skewing, rotating pictures like in Google Earth.

The thing I like about the GIS tutorials is that, to georeference, you just click on correlating points. I have seen many tutorials about using QGIS, ArcGIS, Qmapshack, etc.but nothing about how to make a custom map for a Garmin device. In the extracted files, I saw that the images were actually png files. So, I decided to try to unpack some kmz files I had made using Keka.

Today, while reading around the web, I came across (maybe not the first time?) Garmin's General Guidelines for Creating Garmin Custom Maps. The 66st came out recently and I convinced myself that an updated unit would help (actually, just wanted something new). I followed many guides on Garmin and other places to do this, but none work. When I have loaded it into my 64s, it has never actually worked for me. Hello, I have tried for many years to take a State Parks PDF, load it into Google Earth, georeference it, and export it as a KMZ file.
