Quest usb input

[Harleyquin]

Has anyone tried to download maps to a Quest direct from a USB pen or from another storage device (like an ipod/iriver with a USB port)?

Thanks

Both of these are Removable Storage class devices, peripherals in their own right and can't do this.

You need a program (mapsource) on the other end of the cable to compile and transmit the maps. Therefore a computer to run the program on is needed too.

Best alternative would be a garmin product using CF (non-proprietary type), and you make several cards up with the appropriate data on them.
