If I load a Garmin map into my GPS receiver, will the routes, waypoints and tracks transfer properly to and from the MacTopos maps?
Yes they will. The waypoints, routes and tracks are accurate specifications of specific sets of points on the earths surface. These points can be shown on any map of the area regardless of who made the map or what device it is on. There is no conflict or incompatibility between Garmin’s maps and our MacTopos maps. In fact using Garmin’s maps on your GPS receiver, and the much more detailed MacTopos maps on your Mac is a great way to have the best of both worlds.
