Could you support an open, very famous and detail rich map service from Brazil called Tracksource? http://www.tracksource.org.br/

This service is a community based service with constant updates. Sometimes their maps are the only one that work on remote places and at the countryside.

Their maps are the most famous maps for GPS lovers in Brazil. With the upcomming world cup this could be a good addition to Locus Pro.

Their download direct page is here: http://www.tracksource.org.br/index.p...

Tracksource distributes their data in garmin *.img format. Locus is able to read *.img files but this format is not fully supported at this moment. I’ve tried use one of their img file in Locus but I have to say that there are some issues that we didn’t solved yet. So img file from Tracksource does not work in Locus properly.

However I’d like to contact the administrator of this page to get more information about their data. Maybe we could to use their data in different format. Unfortunately I’m not able to find any contact form or email address. Can you help with portuguese, please?

Sorry for the delay. I asked permission to join their email group so I can ask about these possibilities you raised.

Thank you. I'll update about this soon.

I was not accepted in the group.. :-S ...Got this reply: "Your subscription to Tracksource was not approved.". They seem to be not very social. Although their map have good detail, sometimes greater than Street Map, especially on remote regions.

If it is hard to support the way they package their file, forget about them.

Thank you.
