For the contourlines gmapsupp. By default your device does this automatically — but you can change it to your liking this way.
No need to move it back to your desktop. Note 1: never drop a contourlines gmapsupp. Note 2: Never drop a gmapsupp. In that case you will lose the layout for all but one map inside the gmapsupp. Note — if you want to pass a custom. TYP-file, you have to give the first argument about gmapsupp. You can also only pass. Mac OSx and Linux users:. Note — not possible anymore with macOS v Now you can start the script by doubleclick.
You can also just drop a gmapsupp. The first argument has to be the gmapsupp. TYP file if you want to add a custom. TYP file. Note 2: Never give a gmapsupp. However if you like to see the map when connecting the GPS device or mSD card to your computer with Basecamp open - you can run the change map layout script see Adapting the Map Layout above - at the end of the script you will be asked to enable or disable the Basecamp Map Visibility.
Very old devices - Join gmapsupp. Now if you would like several countries or map plus contourlines to show — you need to join the. To do that — add the additional. Then run the script:. Note -this is not possible anymore with macOS v The following contourlines are with the standard recommended equidistance of 20m.
In mountaineous regions I recommend to use 20m equidistance. However as of popular demand you can alternatively download 10m equidistance for all countries and continents except Asia continent map - because it is too large. Note that the underlying data outside of Europe in mountaineous regions is actually not good enough to really profit from 10m equidistance lines at all.
For flat regions however worldwide 10m contourlines can make sense. So that's why I offer them for download worldwide. In general I recommend not to install more than GB of maps on your device at any time. As the contourlines do not have an address index or any POI they don't count towards that limit - as they will not slow down your device like normal maps do. Do note however that all Garmin devices have a max tile limit of or - so do not forget about that.
The South America contourlines 10m for example already have about tiles. So better just export those ones that you need by using the windows or osX gmapi download instead and send with MapInstall. If you break the or tile limit - some tiles simply will not be shown - which ones I cannot tell you - that's random.
Be very careful about this limit if you go for the 10m contourlines for a continent - or if you insist to install the 20m Asia continent gmapsupp contourlines also over tiles. I cannot tell you for gmapsupp. That is a bit random too. You can look at the gmapsupp. The following contourlines are with equidistance of 10m. In mountaineous regions I recommend to use 20m equidistance instead. Inside the copyright file you can find out the data sources. Many people prefer to not see buildings using the VeloMap in cities.
Sadly I cannot filter buildings based on if they are on the countryside or in a city. If you are not interested in the buildings - removing them makes the map faster to pan around - and will save a little bit of battery the speed difference will be big on older Garmin GPS devices - but nearly not noticeable on newer Garmin GPS devices. Other people prefer to see the buildings.
I may create that additional layer in future for openmtbmap too if there is demand. Just as above for the contourlines - copy the gmapsupp. As the buildings do not have an address index or any POI they don't count towards that limit - as they will not slow down your device like normal maps do.
Do note however that all Garmin devices have a max tile limit of or , or around tiles - so do not forget about that. Be very careful about this limit if you go for continent gmapsupp.
Asia is only possible with contourlines and buildings on devices with Europe likely soon break the tile limit. From OpenStreetMap Wiki. Purge Help. Other languages Translate.

On my MAC it downloads as an image and not as a zip file so it is easy to place in the folder; this might be different on a PC. For example, I built maps of all the Southeast Asia countries I wanted to drive through.
If this is a map you have purchased then save it your computer. The usual issue is that the Garmin is confused because there is more than one map on the Garmin. Remove that file make a copy of anything you are deleting before deletion as you may need it later. But, before I did that I deleted the old files before deleting I had saved a copy onto my computer. 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 ? 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. Then, I come here and write about my adventures. Most of the time.
