The instructions are different for Mac and PC. The map website has a link for installation instructions, click on that. My instructions cover the installation on a Mac, but I have some general that fill in the gaps for installing on Windows below.
You can download and install these programs while you wait for your maps to download. The maps are on your computer. It will allow you to browse maps, create tracks, and is invaluable in planning hikes. Make sure the device firmware is updated to get the latest settings. Here are some tips from fellow hiker Dave T. There are other free maps for your Garmin GPS, and again, they might have different instructions for installation.
Check the website where the maps are offered for directions on how to install them. I recommend planning your hike and creating a GPX file beforehand. Most Garmin GPS units are too small for anything more than impromptu navigation planning. I have a tutorial on how to plan a hiking route for your Garmin GPS here.
And I could use your help. I have discovered if you download and unzip separate files for each country, keep the file name unchanged for one file ie gmapsupp. Img file extension ie Spain. Does this method still work? I have attempted to visit the website and have a map prepared, but it seems that the servers might be fried or down. Just wanted to check that this method is still viable. No quite as intuitive, but this site works: link to extract.
Has this site work for you? Hi all Just tried this and there is obviously something wrong with the site as the wait is 85 days. Considering the wait is over 3 months to download a map from garmin.
It seems that openstreetmap is no longer monitored and is now down permanently. Do you have an alternative for free gps maps? This is working. Same map type, different UI. Sorry if that makes no sense. Ray, can you update the post to tell the website is dead? Current queue is Unable to actually choose specific map segments not that it really matters with a 7 month download queue. Thanks for this, saved my bacon!
I bought my Edge in Thailand and ended up with the Asia version. Why do Garmin make it so hard? On Wahoo this is just a couple of clicks and is free. Also the Asia version of the only gets a 6 month old version of firmware 7. I eventually got UK maps loaded from Frikart. The servers in the article above had a plus day queue for map processing, All very messy. My first purchase of a Garmin device. Really very frustrated at this stage and its hard to get refunds with Thailand retail law and culture.
Must research more thoroughly next time. Sadly the garmin openstreetmap nl website isnt properly working anymore. It is only possible to download the entire map of a country and therefore it is no longer useable with my edge. Do you know of any other way to create maps of selected areas only? I went through the openstreetmap request process about a month ago. Email confirmation back. Just checked again; days.
This write up was helpful in that respect so thank you! I assume Garmin paid them off to functionally shut it down although I just made that up all by my ownself.
Would be interesting to know. Garmin already WAY not my favorite company. Could you share how you purchased the maps from Garmin? What was the process? I cant find anywhere how to do this. It was a few months ago at this point. I did reach out to garmin support btw. Is there a problem with having all of these maps enabled at the same time? I received an error message on my Fenix 6X Pro and was told that Garmin no longer supports third party maps from these platforms.
Could you update this post with some alternative-s ways how to download and install OSM maps on Garmin Edge computers including older models such as ? Just got an edge However, I got.
Only displays the central and north american maps. Hi George I copied all North America files from garmin device to save. Copied over the euro maps I bought. Reversed process after my trip. Worked fine. Seems tedious but safe. Asia is locked out. So that method worked, copied out all the existing img files out of Garmin to my PC.
This time downloaded the regular and lite versions in latin. Renamed the lite version as per the article. Now only these two maps show up and I am able to enable them. But nothing loads when I go to navigation. Hi Ray thanks for the detailed info.
I did manage to download the gmapsupp. Would this be a better option? If this is an option, is it better to just copy the original gmapprom. I swim, bike and run.
