How To Load Maps On My Garmin GPS Unit - GPSFileDepot (this is where i read the highly detailed and way more comprehensive install instructions i paraphrased above.
GPS FILE DEPOT MAPS AND GAIA GPS FOR FREE
USA OSM Topo Routable | GMapTool (source for free garmin maps)īaseCamp™ | Garmin | United States (garmin tool)
seems like a bit of back and forth but its not that bad and saved me the money on a new gps.
This took me ten minutes including the dl and install of all the apps. go back to base camp and right click your gps unit in the left side margins, then import the maps of the areas you want. Download Garmin Basecamp, plug your gps unit into the pc, download the OSM Topo maps of your area, go to the folder you downloaded the OSM topo maps to and extract them, then run the batch file in the folder to put the maps in the garmin directory. nice surprise, it does, fantastically! the install is super easy. I wasn't sure if my ancient 205W would even work with this. i dug in my storage last time i was there and found it! After a fast google of how to update my old old old Garmin Nuvi 205W i saw this page which is FULL of topo maps that are routable. i remembered i used to have a Garmin from probably over ten years ago. i see all these overland specific and trail ready devices like the Garmin overlander and the Magellan TR5/7 but they are overpriced and not in my budget. Apologies if this topic is covered elsewhere.Īs i realize the limitations of my iphone gps (i love gaia but its offline maps are HUGE) i became interested in a dedicated gps unit. Since my last update on free 1:24K-equivalent topo maps for Garmin GPS units from GPSFileDepot, theres been a huge explosion in the number of states.
