Plus, many other competitors like Wahoo, Stages, and Sigma simply make it easy for you to download maps without all this fuss. There may be some 3rd party units that work with these maps, but nothing major. Now you may be asking yourself, ‘What if I have a non-Garmin unit? Will it still work?’ – and the short answer is basically no. If it supports Garmin maps, it’ll support 3rd party maps.Ĭompatible Bike Computers: Edge 520 Plus/530, Garmin Edge 705, Garmin Edge 800/810/820/830, Garmin Edge 1000/1030/1030 Plus/Explore/Touring variants (the base Edge 520 is technically compatible, but only has a sliver of space on it, like, enough for one city), and the Bontrager Edge 1030 is totally fine as well.Ĭompatible Wearables: Garmin Forerunner 945, Garmin Fenix 5s Plus, Garmin Fenix 5 Plus, Garmin Fenix 5X Plus, Garmin Fenix 5X (non-Plus), Garmin Epix (RIP), Garmin Descent MK1, Garmin MARQ Series, Garmin D2 Delta PX

It also will work on most of the handheld type outdoor devices too.

It’s technically possible to do it from an Android device with the right cables, but you’re on your own for that!Īs for compatible devices, here’s the list of devices this will work on.

You must have a computer – Mac or PC (or even Linux). The actual active time for you to do this is like 3-5 minutes tops. I’m just overly thorough in my screenshotting excitement. In reality the entire process is super quick and easy. While this post probably looks long, it’s mostly my attempt at answering any questions ahead of time. With that, let’s get into all the supported units and requirements and a few minor caveats below. And thousands of you every month do the same following these previously published steps. Or, for the European units I have when I travel to the US/Canada, like two weeks ago. I myself often use the freely downloaded variant I describe below (because I live in Europe, but often buy my units in the US). I just include a lot of pictures/text to make it super-clear. Quick and simple, and while the instructions might look long, the entire working time is probably under 2-3 minutes for most people. Certainly no usable streets or geographic landmarks.įear not – I’ve got you covered! You can easily download free maps on your Edge for when you travel. It might show a single dot for the entire city of Paris, or perhaps one highway leading into it. That so-called base map has virtually no detail in it. That’s when you were back to the base junk. Detailed maps too – not the old and useless ‘base map’ junk.īut what happens when you traveled outside your region? Thus if you buy an Edge device in the US you’ll have North American maps, and if you buy it in Spain you’ll have European maps, and if you buy it in Sydney you’ll have Australian/New Zealand maps. Things have certainly changed in the Garmin Edge world in six years – most notably that all of Garmin’s mapping capable Edge devices now actually come with detailed maps for the region you bought it in. It’s almost identical to last week’s post and the one six years ago, except specific to the Garmin Edge series because frankly it’ll help people in Google trying to find Edge-specific instructions. But as promised, I’d be refreshing that old Edges-specific post too – which is what this new post is all about.

Or shoudl I try and find Roadtrip and isntall that so long.Last week I published a piece on how to install free maps on your Garmin wearable, which was a tweaked update of my six-year-old post on how to install maps on your Garmin Edge devices. How do i get the maps into basecamp so I can transfer them to my Nuvi 200 using just the mac and basecamp.

I tried copying the gmapsup.img off my sd card and inpporting it to basecamp but it fails I used a VM running winxp and mapsource to do the dirty - when my unit is p[lugged in to the mac and bascamp runs it can read and view the map of hte unit - but as soon as the unit is unplugged the maps are not avaialble. It does not mention anything about basecamp.
