Any one using this soft ware package?

didn't think it was available for NZ, I could stand corrected (happily) though
I am sure birdseye is available for nz but you have to pay a subscription.
Yip something like fifty per year
Free for a year with new Garmin,, happy with the topo maps but since it was free thought it would be interesting to install
Yeah, I've got it free with mine for a while. It's cool but you are restricted as to how big an area you can view at one time.
Im sure you couldn't 'hunt' the entire area available so not a biggy is it?Quote:

Sorted it out last night, as you say you cant download a large area at all onto your device with out exceeding the download limit. would be nice if you could download the complete area.
Downloaded last night, not as good as I thought, Hard to see on my Alpha Screen and subscription is locked to one device
You can get around these limits if you're prepared to get your hands dirty. If anyone want to know how to have unlimited Birdseye-like aerial photos on their Garmin, from ANY source (LINZ, Local Councils, etc), let me know. It's not piracy - totally legit, using free software, and making changes to the firmware of your Garmin.Quote:

I used to think this may have been a good idea. Now I don't see the point? Use google or something to get points of interest onto your device as a reference, to me the rest of the time should be spent with eyes on the prize. I used to spend way to much time looking at my GPS instead of the bush etc. in front of me :D just my opinion of course :D
My Alpha 100 looks a bit washed out but need to have a bit more of a tutu with display settingsQuote:

OK can anyone tell me what the limits are to the maximum amount of Birdseye data you can transfer to your Garmin Handheld cause I think that may be my problem.
@stretch maybe??
Assuming you have plenty of internal and/or microSD storage available, then 250 Birdseye files seems to be the hard limit across the board for all Birdseye-compatible Garmin devices.

Thanks, all files are on SD card and there would be no where near 250 of them. But whenever I upload the latest 2 I get "invalid birdseye" however If I delete them message disappears. Tried re downloading them on another PC and then uploading but same results so I figure its a thing with the Garmin itself.Quote:
