Trapster on Magellan Maestro?

[thaclient]

Hi everyone-

I have searched around the forum for any suggestions on this and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Has anyone gotten Trapster to work on the Magellan Maestro series of portable GPS? I know that with Garmin or TomTom it is a pretty simple affair, but I can't seem to find instructions for the Magellans. I have a little Magellan Maestro 3200 that was given to me for free, and I'd love to get Trapster loaded up on it. I really only use it for when I'm lost, but I think I'd use it more often if I could have the Trapster points loaded up on it. Ideally I'll be buying a better GPS soon, probably a Garmin, but for the time being I'd rather spend money on some other countermeasures.

Any thoughts, instructions, tips or hints would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Right now we do not have any instructions on how to load Trapster POIs on a Magellan GPS Unit. You are welcome to go to www.trapster.com/config-poi.php to customize your Trap POI area and download them, I am not sure what the process is to get them onto a Magellan.

But would love to read about you trying this out.

Thanks for the reply. I've been Googling and apparently there is a Magellan POI editor. It allows you to enter POI from a .csv file... which might just work. I'll play around and see if it'll work. Worst comes to worst, I fry the thing and it gives me an excuse to go out and buy a better GPS!


EDIT: I'm actually wrong on that. Magellan has tools that apparently let you convert .csv files into a proprietary Magellan format and then upload it to the device. The problem is... I don't believe my device came with those tools and they apparently don't want to let you download the tools for free. The search continues.
