I have a few land ownership files that show up fine in BaseCamp but when I send them to my Oregon 650t with a 16 GB card it says that the image is too large to display on the GPSr. Is there a size limit? If so, what is it? If not, why can't the .kmz image appear on the GPSr?
The Oregon's have a limit to the size of the individual image files that can be loaded (because they have a finite amount of memory). Note that you can have one KMZ file contain multiple images, in effect tiling the image. So the problem is with the size of the JPG file in the KMZ, not the size of the KMZ itself. The Oregon should be telling BaseCamp what this size limit is so that BaseCamp will notify you before transferring the KMZ to the Oregon. Did this not happen?
I believe there are 3rd party tools that are able to help edit these files, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to offer a good suggestion here.
Thanks for the reply. No this did not happen. I loaded a .jpg of a game management unit into Google Earth Professional, georeferenced it to the image below, then saved it as a .kmz. So far so good.
I transferred the .kmz to the custom maps folder of my Oregon but when I started it the message appeared something like "some images are too large to be displayed". That's the only message I received about this problem.
