Install map in mapsource

When cgpsmapper went from version c to c, some compatibility issues arose between it and MapSet Toolkit, and that may be part of the problem. I avoid these problems by sticking with the older versions of MapSet Toolkit 1. So I would really appreaciate if you could delp me. I would like to know if there is some way to convert from that format PN I think it is to shapefile so I can use it at my MapServer.

My original Belgian map is then also reduced to the overall data. Restorable from my backup. Where should I further investigate? Back to my problem of lack of details in maps transfered to the GPS. I just did not zoom enough. Thanks again.

But I have a big problem!!!! I bought a e-trex vista HCx, I installed the Trip and waypoint manager from the original CD I also installed the Mapsource from the garmin website, because I thought was more updated.
