After spendind hours trying to upload maps to my 30x I watched your video and had it sorted in 20 mins. Thanks very much from a geocacher in Western Australia
This is the best video hands down I found after searching for days. Followed the steps outlined verbatim and got the map onto my etrex, without having to use any software. My etrex had become a paper weight till I saw your video. Now I use it so much. Thank you web cacher !!
Thanks a million for this tutorial. I needed a map for Suriname and really didn't know how to fix this. I got to the Garmin page and it would cost me at least $250,- for a map covering South America. This tutorial is very accurate, simple and fast!! Keep up the good work! 🙂💪
Many thanks from the UK, I had just paid Garmin £20 for a years subs, and could have had it for free, followed your instructions and brilliant the map I needed was better than the Garmin one, thank you again
Thank you! I was about to drop $100 for Gamin's topomaps. This worked perfectly and the maps look great! Couldn't get the SD card file to show up on the Garmin, but it worked after I installed it directly on the Garmin.
Thanks so much for your help! My dad gave me an old Garmin GPSmap 60CSx that we used for Geocaching when I was a kid. This should help breathe some life into the ol' girl :)
Hi Sam, I have a Garmin 60CS. Were you able to directly transfer the map file into your Garmin 60CSx or do you have to use the MapSource software to transfer the files into the device?
Thanks. I’m going to try this rn. Going on a hike tmmrw and your video was the most simple and very explanatory one. I’ll let you know how it goes after I download the map.
I’m from the uk and got my maps from Talkie toaster for my etrex 35, it has snap to trail route planning and even trails that aren’t shown on ordinance survey maps .
Hi, this is the best instructional video, I just installed some maps onto my garmin using a mac will be using it for kayaking, hiking and Hunting Thank you- Thank you
By far the best GPS Map video and tutorial I've found. Very much appreciated. I was looking for a way to get off-road trails onto the Garmin and this works perfectly. I do ADV motorcycle riding and this makes the gps so much more functional. While this doesn't use the openstreets from a download perspective, knowing about it allows me to contribute to the trail mapping if I find myself on trails that aren't currently mapped. Question though, I've noticed that no matter how many of these images I load the GPS can only find one of them, is this a known limitation?
My wife and I were on holiday in the UK in 2013. During that time we stopped in Llangollen. It does look like there are some trail maps in your area. Specifically I'm looking at trails in Llandegla Forest.
@@WebCacher I've looked earlier there are some trail maps in that area there is also some good cache trails around there to . There is one I've got on my list I think it's 44 caches in a 7 mile loop
Yes. The Garmin hiking GPS' will tell you where you are on a trail. Additionally, most of them have a "digital breadcrumbs" to see where you have been.
I only found you on the bike site after I had done the job..but still a great video. One question that if you fancied making a new video...an explanation of the different Download Formats. The help section is not so great in telling you the differences.. just thought Cheers Neil
That's the gps I use. In mine it is in the map options under settings. You can emable and disable map layers. Also, you have to zoom in to a certain point but it works well.
Thanks for the video. I followed your steps exactly & turned out working great. That being said, When I tried to do a second file my GPS will not allow me to switch between the 2??? I started with the State of Utah & was Successful. I uploaded the state of Idaho & it works as well. The only way I have found to switch between the maps is to pull one map out of the Garmin File & leave the desired map in the file??? Seems to me like I should be able to switch between the maps on the units... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Sincerely...
Hi there!! thank you so much for the help!!! Is there any way we can download the maps like in satellite view or something similar? Thank you so much in advance!
woudl like to simply view recorded routes (cyclist) Garmin .fit files on my pc Screen too small for us olders. MOdify then if need to Send back to Garmin as good to go Can yo just down load these maps to your pc and then garmin ( edge2) can view the saved route on these maps ? Ms O
Thanks for the clear explanation, it was very well done. I'm a beginner, so still groping in the dark with the eTrex 22x, and I'm stumped. I defined the map I wanted and extracted it following your instructions, received the email, then connected the eTrex, but NO WINDOW opened (I'm on a Mac). The Micro SD card I had, was bigger than the 32GB limit, so I removed it. Is that why no window opened on the Garmin? Thanks for any help! I want to use the eTrex in the Minnesota "northwoods" - the lake country on the Canadian border. About to leave for a month in the area, Voyageurs National Park, and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In VNP, navigating could be confusing with big lakes, so I decided to get the GPS. Again, I appreciate the excellent tutorial.
For the format you choose Garmin Liesure (latin1) which is more of a Road map (or so it appears). I want to download a map for back country hiking. Am I correct that if I download the format Garmin OSM(UTF-8) it would have more topo features that will show elevation grades, hiking trails, etc.?
Fantastic! Thank you for the information, I was starting to get really irritated with the lack of trails on my GPS. Is there a way to import this file into base camp as well?
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you get some use out of your maps. As far as base camp, I'm not sure. Maybe you can try and post the answer here!
For the most part everything went though as directed... but when I went to my search "Diana's Throne" on Open Street Map -- Saw three results. Went to BBBike and I had three results. I could click on all three, BUT they wouldn't open the map. While this is nice.. it was a little odd that three people created maps, but they were all kind of different
Are these maps compatible with MapSource? So far I'm not able to open the maps through the MapSource software. I have a Garmin 60CS which is an older model. Please advise.
Tried this out yesterday. Works great with a few caveats. Too many polygon points from trying to shape the map? It won't generate so keep it simple. The only other issue seemed to be trying to capture too large of an area causing it to lose details. Thanks for making this nicely done and informative video.
Hey Matt, awesome video. But I'm still having a problem that maybe you have seen. This is the second map site I've tried to download topo maps from and I really like this one far better. But after following the instructions step by step and I can see the maps on my 128gb card from the directory but when going under Map Information, the only maps I see are the default ones that came with the 64s. In fact I see three image files in that directory now and none of them are showing. Thoughts? Thanks!
Greetings Jeff! My apologies for the late response. I've never tried to download Topo Maps, but I've considered it. I have some ideas though. Let's start here. What are you selecting from the dropbox? Garmin OpenTopoMap (latin1)?
Hello WebCacher, just downloaded the file and was curious and clicked on the gmapsupp file and it said file corrupt. I know I'm supposed to copy it to a folder but was wondering if it is normal for the file to say corrupt if I try and open it? tks
I have a Montana and everything works as described but I cannot get the transferred map to appear on my screen. When I go to setup, the map is enabled. Do I need to choose a different format? I am assuming that my map will apperar on my screen as a normal part of my view; is this assumption correct?
@@WebCacher It's a Garmin Montana 600, so about 6 to 8 years old. I used Garmin Leisure (latin1). The maps installed are a .JNX format. When I going into the Map Information, the map is "Enabled - Tannehill fzk/latin1 BBBike.org 27-Apr-2021". Tannehill is the name I gave it. I zoomed way in and still no map.
Wow, as a mature lady in age, this will be so easy to follow. My Garmin 62st had a major malfunction so I have just received my Garmin 64sx. I kept my old sd card which has Ordnance Survey maps on it, I live in the UK. Will I be able to load these free trail maps onto the same sd card, I don't want to corrupt what is already there. Thank you so much for this video.
thank you for your guide. I am having issues with one of the steps. When I open the downloaded file of the map I don't see any file called gmaps or any file that is a disk image file. What am I doing wrong?
@@TheIlana123 Hi again Ilana. Is the map you downloaded from extract.bbbike.org ? Also, did you choose "Garmin Leisure (latin1)" as your format type from the top left?
@@saintmatthew956 Thank you! I was able to extract the right file. I am now stuck on the very last step when I go to setup --> map i don't see anything named map information. I only have options of: orientation, data fields, advanced map setup and marine colors.
I have a 67i, when I attempt to move the gmap file to either the internal or sb on the device, it will not accept it. When I drag and try to drop it in, it displays a red "not allowed" circle with slash. The Garmin already has the files you created in the video (the "Garmin" file). I tried to create new folders but it will not give me the option. Any Help?
I actually think I got it figured out. I removed the SD card and inserted it to the computer directly, downloaded the map. After re-installing the SD card into the GPS it shows as if it is downloaded.
good morning when I plug in my etrex 10 I see the maps that I down loaded but don't see them etrex sreen on my Garmin . Did I miss a step? Thanks in advance
Haven't tried the process yet, but it would have been more motivating if you had - at the end of the video - demonstrated the new map on your Garmin Device!
Hello , I have a Garmin GPS 64st. I did the download as directed. I am unable to find the map on my GPS. any advice??? after not hearing anything. I contacted Garmin, OPEN street is not compatible.
How do you load the maps using a Mac? When I received the file from bbbike, the folder did not contain a disc image file. only an image file. (gmapsupp.img) When I attempt to load it into the Basecamp map folder it will not accept it. MapInstall and Map manager also will not accept it. Any suggestions?
Greetings Moon Joyce! My apologies for not responding sooner. I have never owned a Mac, so I'm not very familiar. I have some random troubleshooting ideas, though: 1. You should not need to use Basecamp, MapInstall, or Map Manager to use this method. 2. When you selected the map at bbbike.org, did you select Garming Leisure (latin1) from the dropbox? If neither of these work, perhaps someone who uses a mac will provide some guidance.
This works for the first try, but when I try to upload another map it doesn't show up on the map settings section at all. I tried this multiple times, downloading from the very beginning
