OK. Some very basic issues. I've received a Garmin gpsmaps 60cs as a
present. I've downloaded topo maps into the computer as jpegs. I
understand that I can't load the jpegs onto the gps and use it as a
background.

What is a SIMPLE program for converting the jpegs to a format that the
gps can read?

Thanks,
roadrunner
