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 Map now installed!
Great article and thanks so much. I was nearly at the point of selling my Edge as the maps were so basic and difficult to use, but downloading these maps has changed things completely. The step by step guide is awesome and even allowed a tech idiot like me to install it in about 5mins. Just in case you want to drop them a line…. Brilliant service thanks DC. Hi Ray, thanks for all your advice on this site its been a godsend.
I have a Garmin Have you any advice? Thanks in advance Symon. Great instructions as always. I can answer my own question, the has a massive text box at the top, taking up a lot of space, it can be disabled thus: Guide Text — This setting controls how Guide Text is displayed on the top of the Map page.
Set to Never, there are other options. Thanks Nick, your welcome Nick. Hi Ray. Are you aware of any problem with the garmin. There is a message at the top of the page suggesting this feature is disabled due to a server problem. I wondered whether this is a recurring issue that you have experienced previously or whether this is new. Great guide, I used it lots over the years and also sent countless friends to it as well.
However link to garmin. Is there any alternative your aware of where I can select squares on map for downloading, I have the old Garmin which has hardly any space for mapping. I find the default representation of such segments quite space consuming and color aggressive. First: thanks for ALL the great reviews etc. Second: thanks for this specific one; good as ever. I thought that It would be a good idea to update the map so followed these instructions and they worked — as expected.
What might be the cause of this and how do I rectify it? Do you have any information regarding Garmin having disabled the ability to select individual tiles to download at link to garmin. If you start riding a climb then you have briefly the full height profile and it disappears becoming a horizontal line when you start the climb most likely the Edge uses then its DEM map. If I made the same trip using Strava Route Creation getting a GPX crumb trail , then I see the height profile and during a climb the height profile remains present.
In summary the height information in the Routable Bicycle Map Europe is not legible by the Edge Is there a work around possible? As mentioned in the article, the worldwide maps lack contour lines.
However the site also hosts maps with a little bit more detail eg vegetation and contour lines for all of Europe at link to openfietsmap. I see Ray said in the article that strange things happen when he enables 2 maps of the same area. I can download the Wandrer map which is just a line drawing of roads. I imagine there are dfferent levels of map — presumably this is how Garmin display routes or segments on the base map.
How can I make the Wandrer data show over the basemap? Is it a certain file type needed and where on the device would it need to be stored? Use BBBike extracts extract. Follow steps below: 1. Select your area you can use the polygon tool to create custom 3. Enter Email address and click Extract 4.
Email will be sent, download zip 5. Thank you, you are real MVP! Thank you so much! Just spent an hour scratching my head trying to figure out how to get the maps working on the I did all the steps you mentioned on a new Great article as usual!
One can then just drop the file into the GPS device! Looking for some help here. I hope to be cycling in the Netherlands this summer. I am new to GPS devices. I have bought a Garmin Explore primarily for the navigation help it provides. It has the following maps loaded and enabled:. Do these maps have me covered for the Netherlands with these settings? Should I disable any of the maps for better coverage?
Or, do I need to upload other maps for coverage? I am looking to upload. I live near an Amish area in central Pennsylvania. Those horses have no shame or control. Is there any way to get topographical maps on the Garmin that might show mountain bike trails? Check out openmtbmap. I used to use them. As I recall, however, you need to turn contours on, so check to see if your allows that and that you have them turned on.
Hi, I have been using OSM maps downloaded onto a Garmin Edge using your instructions for a number of years and they are brilliant.
However my Micro SD card recently split so is no longer useable. When I came to replace the maps on a new SD card there is a message on the garmin. You may need to refresh the browser cache first CTRL-F5 and the site only permits users to download maps by whole countries rather than individual tiles. I understand that this problem has been present for the past 12 month or so.
My question is: is it possible to down load multiple files of different countries and save these onto an SD, given that they would all have the same file name — if it is possible how can this be done? For anybody interested, I found a solution to my problem. As you can now only select whole countries and not individual tiles. 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 ?
You can easily add the contourlines on mac osx copy in, exchange the info. What i did wrong? You need to say exactly which maps you installed — otherwise I have no idea how to help you. All other maps work fine? Which other maps besides the ones shown have you installed on your device? The green thing I would guess is not from the map — but a track or a route.
Same for the big red square and maybe the yellow continuation on your picture. Also and that may be the case — check what you have on the internal memory. Maybe you have another version of the mtbitaly there? Twice the same map or twice extracts from one map is the likeliest source of creating a mess. Danach war nicht nur die Frankreichbereiche sondern auch meine Deutschlandkarte weg. Nun habe ich die Gmapsupp. Nochmals die D-Karte runtergeladen entpackt etc. Beim Namen der Karte fehlt hinten auch die Endung.
Kein Erfolg. Du kannst vor dem senden. Aber du darfst jede Karte nur einmal senden — also nicht zweimal Aussschnitte aus der Deutschlandkarte.
Die Endung. Danach eine nach der anderen draufkopiert. Dieselben Dateien, die vorher nicht gingen. Nun funktionierts. Das fertige gmapsupp. Nach 10 Minuten habe ich aufgegeben. Wenn ich die Linux-Dateien der Basecamp-Karte nehme und sie mit dem folgenden Befehl unter Linux selbst konvertiert, funktioniert es einwandfrei: java -Xmx2g -jar..
Du hast so keinen Addressindex, oder? Aber prinzipiell darf das nicht sein — entferne mal alle anderen Karten und probiere es dann neu deaktivieren nicht ausreichend — aber in. Du kannst unter linux auch das bash file zur gmapsupp Generierung probieren — das hat mit oder ohne Adressindex — evtl liegt es daran? Oder was mache ich falsch? Wenn sinnvoll, gibt es dann auf Deiner Seite oder ggf. Sorry for my dummy answer. For my garmin edge I need download a unicode or a non unicode map?
Selbiges bei den Alpen. Alles Karten, die ein Tourenradfahrer nicht wirklich brauchen kann. Die Karten, die ich heruntergeladen habe, haben alle die Endung. Bitte probiere mal zwei Sachen aus. Wenn die dann auch nicht angezeigt wird — nehme die mSD Karte aus dem Geraet heraus, und sende sie direkt an das er.
I have OSX Display of my GPSmap 64s is not very defined and the standard layout and contours made maps unreadable…. There is nothing I can do for the gmapsupp. You could install Linux or windows or an older os x in a virtual machine — or maybe boot ubuntu from a USB stick or so alternatively. Mac not supporting 32 bit is a really dumb decision for users…. Hi Mike! SW-Version is 5. No they do not work at all. For my adventure, bike, hike….
I use Oruxmap as well. I downloaded the gmapsupp map,the zip directly to install to garmin device, and installed it into the Oruxmap mapfolder. It works, but unfortunately, due to the fact that contourlines are not integrated into the file, map is without contourlines. Is there a way to add contourlines. Any suggestions?
If you are using windows — you can use the combine script that is part of the contourlines gmapsupp. You can also send it first to any external drive. Thanks Extremecarver for the suggestion!
I copied and moved the gmapsuppimg from garmin folder to oruxmap and it works!!! Contourlines now are displayed. Really thanks!! You must be logged in to post a comment. Please support Openmtbmap by donating a few bucks. Premium Gmapsupp. Contents 1 Why should you download the gmapsupp.

Just be prepared for frequent recalculations since the distance between map points is greater than with a detail map and it will think you are off course frequently. Also, it will only be able to direct you via main roads as that is all it knows.
It can also be used to see where one of the POIs you entered is in relation to where you are so you can take smaller roads and always see where you are relative to that location. 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.
This is great, glad I found the thread. Is there anyway to send it to mapsource? I don't see the base map listed on my unit, I named it gmapsupp. My map info. Come on, I know someone must have a c that has successfully done this.
Yeah, I don't have a c, but what exactly are you expecting the basemap to do? Motorcycle Mama 15 years. Motorcycle Mama wrote: Yes, absolutely.
