In this maps here 1 you can see if a road is paved or unpaved and get proper information of which quality the unpaved road is. If I want to download a base map to my PC and then map rides on the PC and then transfer these to my Garmin, which of the four possible destinations listed early in the article do I select. Anyone has recommendations for free Garmin maps for automobiles. Ray had suggested to use the offline Google option and use with the phone but when I tried, it appears as if it is for point to point direction.
It also takes a lot of memory in my iphone. Any suggestions? Meredith, Thank you for your reply. Which one specifically from the list below and have you tried it? Hi DC, I have a hand me down Edge which I am trying to update the very old map, it does not have any maps in the Garmin folder of the built in memory, just one.
I suspect you might not be looking in the right place. There should definitely be a Garmin folder, even on the older Edge Do you see both? And if so — do you see a Garmin folder in either? This will work on a Garmin etrex? Later side loading maps for Japan and parts of Europe, to do the same sort of thing there. Hi Ray, are you sure that if you download parts of for instance The Netherlands that you get the second mail in 15 mnutes as I was using via your six year old post this Open Maps last June but I was the user to wait in the queu….
Routing through connect sucks ass for mtb trails. Trying to do it via connect on a phone is even worse. Same goes for MTB. In particular, I looked for a trail that I hiked a couple of months ago to retrieve the keys that dropped out of my Camelbak during a stop on an MTB ride.
What Paul S said. The big issue is Garmin Connect when creating routes ahead of time. Recently did a mtb race in Oregon and I wanted that route loaded so I could see the climbs that were coming up. Interestingly enough, once I sorted it out and loaded it on the Edge , it DID show the fireroad names while navigating.
OSM cycle map for the same area… link to openstreetmap. Missing trails, no contours, super blocky. In effect, for mtb riding, you almost need to know the trails before you can create a route in Garmin Connect. Thanks for this tutorial. Works also fine for Garmin Etrex devices such as the 30X. Have an Edge All of this is on a microSD card. I have the same problem. Got hands on a used Edge Want contourlines just go to: link to openmtbmap.
If this is explained in the post, and I missed this idea or if one of the comments already covered this issue, sorry. Does the downloaded map data provide elevation details that the Garmin head unit would need to populate the elevation data screen while following a course on a downloaded map? Ray, I bike tour unsupported all over the world. I have had the Garmin , , and now the for 3 years. He had nothing but problems with turn by turn navigation as well as vast differences between what my Garmin was telling me for distance to go to a city, etc.
The navigation errors he had using OSM maps were quite bad, such that he shut his Garmin off and we used mine. I have talked with others who had similar problems with OSM maps downloaded. I love the Garmin SD map cards, expensive but for me, worth every penny.
DC, my question is about the SD card. Open Street Map question!! So here is where I am currently. I created a test map of part of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
I got the email that it is ready and will be available for 96 hours. So I am fuzzy on the next step even after reading DC Rainmaker. Can I insert my micro SD card into my computer and download the map to it?
Or do I put the blank micro SD card in the Garmin and download to that? Your help will be greatly appreciated!!! Installed the map of Morocco from the link and yes it is better than the no good world map pre-installed in Garmin Edge. But not that much. Go to: link to openmtbmap. You can even get it in local arabic language or in English.
Not impressed with the maps from link to garmin. Maybe you are looking for a topo map no? I guess maps from garmin. For topo maps there are more alternatives and more detailed: link to wiki.
I find this ones nice, for topographic maps: link to frikart. Would this be rectified if I downloaded from velomap.
Thanks for your tutorial. Do you have a solution? It will say what area it is. May the unit you bought only had the US maps. I would go back to the shop and have them explain. I try to contact Garmin support to know the method to fix this issue. As always a great a detailed article with relevant content. I have only an Edge but decided to try it out with a super small piece of map from Austria. File size 7,1 Mb. I created and downloaded the.
Then I tried to install the. As expected the disc space was not sufficient. So I decided to move the two pre-installed. In theory, this should free space up for a small 7,1 Mb file. Unfortunately this did not happen. I still miss 6,4 Mb to install the downloaded map. I cannot move the two pre-installed. So I basically lost the ability to use my pre-installed maps. Can you give some advise on how to restore the Edge storage capability? At least so I can get the original pre-installed maps back onto my device.
Thanks in advance. How did you remove the files from your ? On a Mac? If so, dragging to the Trash does not remove the files, just puts them in a hidden directory.
Something similar might have to be done on Windows. Having problems with a Garmin — some with the updated core maps, some with these OpenStreetMaps. Update required adding an SD card, which I did. Maps are basically blank, only major roads shown at low zoom levels — useless. Reinstalled maps from Garmin Express, same same. Tried downloading these OpenStreetMap gmapsupp. Hi community, Is anyone having issues with the watts being displayed on the Edge ?
I recently updated the firmware to 7. I rode two different bikes with two different power meters both Stages with latest firmware and they both are showing upwards of watts which is not realistic for me.
I already did a user resetting and a data resetting basically a master reset on the unit but the problem persist. I changed it anyways but the problem persists.
Thank you. To me though, Garmin is still missing the boat here. These should be easily done via nothing more than just the Garmin Connect Mobile app and WiFi kinda like downloading music works. Pay, and be done.
Is there a way to make this swap to European maps without having to pay extra money? However, Garmin now has on their site the ability to pay about 20EUR to get the maps for the region you want.
The name is Jose Tiu. I never used this name. I search in Garmin forum but nothing. I contact garmin France. The only solution is to do a change with the shop. The issue is that if you have maps in only in. MapInstall will only transpile maps onto a Garmin device or an SD card. In the case of an SD card, it works best if there is a GarminDevice. My first quick and dirty solution was to copy the. Then I can copy the. You can rename and unmount it like any other disk. Inside the root of your virtual SD, create a folder Garmin.
Inside of Garmin create a GarminDevice. You can get the GarminDevice. One other note is that a bunch of the font colors in MapInstall 4. Why Garmin enabled Dark Mode but did not set the font colors correctly is baffling. Thanks for the instructions. Mine works now. Try moving the gmapbmap. Mine works fine now. Has any one else been able to resolve this? I just tried it with my new Garmin , and it works well.
I did use a map from link to wandrer. It worked great, and it was fantastic to be able to follow all of those red lines to pick up more Wandrer points! Stephen — Have you figured out how to update your maps from wandrer onto your Garmin so that it updates your unridden roads?
I have a base head unit and there seems to be less and less storage available for these maps. I deleted my activity files freeing up very little space and moved the. What other files ought I thin out to free up space? I only have 2 courses loaded right now. Not sure if you saw, but my older post covers the Edge a bit better since that was space constrained : link to dcrainmaker.
I have Strava Live segments so do I need to un-star segments in Strava to remove them in a sync or can I remove manually from I assume the segments folder? I doubt I have lots of structured workouts but I may have a legacy self generated one for an IRL race training session that had very complex data profile so could be a large file.
Will check when I get home. Thanks again. That freed the space up okay but having installed the map per instructions…no map evident. Tried BBBike as the primary link appears not to be loading maps right now , loaded the file into the , even restarted the Hmm, will have to sleep on it. Fresh eyes at it tomorrow. I have a Garmin edge and want to find an alternative solution and followed the link to BBB. Also I heard that there is a possibility the BBBike.
Do you know if this is the case and if there is a way around this? I went there when the primary site appeared to be down. I tried both formats and saw no big differences. I would remind you to rename the new map to gmapbmap and I had to move the gmapbmap. Hope this helps. Sharing for those that may also have issues: when using the bbbike. I have a couple of issues with map loading on an Garmin Edge I have not seen any anomalies, but I am unable to display a map or a location in Mallorca on the device from here.
This is a little disquieting because b I have been unable to reach the linked map source and have had to use the alternate BBBike extracts , which I have no prior experience with. Thanks for the great post. Has something gone wrong here? The other link you provide in the article to the other service does still work, and provides the right file. I have been trying to follow these instructions to download maps on my Garmin Edge Plus that I purchased in the US but am currently in Singapore.
Frustratingly, nothing seems to work. I get to each stage and even saved the gmapsupp file to my Garmin device. After a lot of trials and errors I have finally managed to install the maps for Singapore. One of the posts mentioned about different file types and while the UTF-8 file did not work the latin version did. The process is the same though. I am having some issues though.
I no longer have turn by turn directions with the text box at the top of the screen just blank. Weirdly, when I go off course I get directions but then they stop as soon as I rejoin the route. Has anyone else had this issue or have an idea of how to fix it? Try looking for some better maps. Thanks for the advice.
Although it is strange that it manages to direct me back to the route when I go off track. If you have only iOS devices you can still copy maps to a device. Plug the USB into the adapter then plug that into the iPad. Make sure the Garmin device is in USB mode, attach the cable to it and into the hub.
Find it and copy it over to the correct folder on the device. If I replace the basemap on a I have also add another map. So what is the difference then between the and the ?
I must admit, the fact that Garmin still charges for maps is enough to push me toward Wahoo. Garmin needs to adapt or be left behind. At least you can get actual free maps with all the things a map needs that will display on a Garmin, or you can make it easy on yourself and buy from Garmin if you need something other than the map for an entire continent that your device came with.
Have referenced this website for a few years now when downloading maps to Garmin via PC with no issues. When I download the file I get a. The files with the. Go to garmin. If you double-click the. Then you use MapInstall to actually install it on your Garmin device; it allows you to graphically select which portion of the map you actually want to install.
The file installed on your Garmin will have a. Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed response. Apologies I should have included the following, Edge and Getting a Mac to boot the Garmin and recognize it as a storage device is not always as simple as plugging it in.
Then it usually works. Just go ahead and install BaseCamp. The installer used also install MapManager and MapInstall and it probably still does. So I can easily believe that you have only 12 Mb left on it. So install BaseCamp, see if you get MapManager and MapInstall, and if you do try installing a map on your Mac and then selecting tiles to install on your Edge which will need to be mounted.
I also managed to get map files to show up in my Garmin folder and I also did this on my old PC which I dragged out of the loft but on both occasions nothing came through to the Garmin just a blank screen. MapInstall does that job. As I said, you can select specific tiles and put only what you need on the I had a similar problem with the original Fenix, which accidentally could display maps, but there were only about 10 Mb available.
I managed to get half of Centre and half of Huntington counties on it using a stripped down OSM map that someone made specifically for the Fenix. The cable is usually the key to mounting. I rarely have any trouble with my , and it never dismounts on its own. This is the first screen I encounter when double clicking.
Double check and make sure your Edge is mounted. This is what I get when I start up MapInstall 4. You might want to look inside and see what it shows. The GarminDevice. The Finder can see it, so MapInstall should be able to. So go to Plan B: link to dcrainmaker. You want to make sure you download an.
The reason it caught my eye is that it has a special section on the Maps are divided into tiles up to 3. Easiest way to load maps is to use Mapsource, it allows for selecting tiles and transfer to fenix attached to USB.
When using BaseCamp loading maps is supported by external program MapInstall. It works similar to Mapsource but creates file with name, that is not recognized by fenix.

Sort of like seeing a very tall building in the distance and just heading in that direction. It was more useful than one might think at the right price. Does this work on Nuvi Yes. I have it loaded on my You can import any valid map. It's not trivial, but its not hard either. Note for locked maps you will need the unlock code. The free world base map is not locked.
Got it on my SD card in the garmin folder as a supplemental map and it works great on my W. I renamed the gmapbmap to gmapsupp. I do have hawaii and puerto rico, some canadian territories, but the unit won't let me see the gmapsupp on the unit of my sd card. Does anyone have a c that ran across with my problem as well.
Still waiting for some type of response. IMG it will work on an SD card, but now you may experience some strange and unit-specific effects. This is not a normal operating condition. If you perform this experiment and like the results - fair enough. Just be aware, it's not what Garmin had in mind! Log In Sign Up. Home » Garmin talk. Login or register to post comments. The built in base map is of North America. It is version 4. The World Wide base map is Version 3.
Am I correct? Motorcycle Mama wrote:. Or just the NUVI's? Name the file gmapsupp. Either way, it should be in the Garmin folder. I really like the idea of having the major roads in there countries other than the US.
