Can anyone tell me if an application exists that will allow me to automatically break up a large image (eg. a geology map say in pdf, tiff or jpeg format) into georeferenced kmz jpeg tiles for download onto my Montana 650t. I can do it manually with the help of Google Earth Pro, but it is a pain in the backside because it takes too long. Or am I thinking about this the wrong way?

If it was a geotiff or geopdf, maybe. Otherwise, you have to have someway to georeference it.

I don't own it, but I've read that G-raster does something like that.

Yes, G-Raster does it and does it well. For a $5 registration fee it gives you full functionality. I gave them $20 cause I love it!

You still have to geo-reference them though.
