<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>a map with extension .img is probably a binary map dedicated
to Garmin navigation devices, you can not simply import such file to
LS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>First step would be to convert such a map into a text file -
only program that I know, which can do it is gps mapedit.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>After loading a img file to mapedit, and using file:save as...
you can save such img file, choosing save as type for example .mp polish file
format...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You'll get a text file of this map, but it also can't be
imported to Loadstone yet - in order to import it, it's necessary to make a
conversion of this file into a loadstone-ready text...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I developed such converted on my own, but it's in the very
development stage, not multilingual and requires perl
instalation...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe such converter of mp to loadstone text would be some
idea for poi converter available online, or a separate tool...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many maps available in the polish map (.mp) format or Garmin
img format, can be found on:</FONT></DIV>

this?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>another thing: i downloaded a map for lebanon
