      ​@@rgmALC life time update model do exist for Garmin car GPS for about $50 more. Given that the current or prospective users of Fenix/Epix probably replace their watch every generation or every two generations (3-5) years, the price premium of the top of the line watches could be considered as a "subscription" over 3-5 years.

    Naw, they should also offer a permanent map ownership option, where you just pay 1 price for region. For example, Florida is 65,795 square miles, and pay $65.79 for a permanent license, or $6.58 per year for a lease option. Fools like me would gladly give Garmin $6.58 for at least one year.

    The ownership stuff is useful if you're exploring rather than going on established trails. For people trying to find 4x4 trails it can be helpful because its not always clear whether some dirt path that disappears into the woods is somewhere you're allowed to drive or someone's driveway. You can also use it to contact the land owner if you're looking for permission. Probably best for 4x4s and hunters.

    Excellent into/overview Dave and I definitely jumped in myself after watching your video. I'm primarily interested in hiking/backpacking and probably like you, more interested in the satellite view, so we can reduce the default file size from 2GB to under 1GB by deselecting the Parcel boundary layer. For my first download, the Tile size seems about 8 x 12 square miles so on a Epix 2 Sapphire with half the 32GB available, I'd estimate we'd have enough free space for around a 10-15 standard size tiles at a time. How about you - have you had a chance to do any real world testing? Happy trails, Michael

    I am going to Zion National park but I cant seem to find out how to download the park to my Gen 2 epics. I have Outdoor maps + sub, but whenever I search, it just times out. Any tips? I find this system very unintuitive and frustrating!

I tried to reach out to them and I'm waiting for a reply on that. Anyway keep up the good work on your channel!

    I decided to give it a try, but one thing I found was that I have to plug in the watch while the "Map will download when your device is plugged in" is still on the screen. If I select the check mark and later plug in the device, the status shows "queued" but the download never starts. I have an Epix Gen 2.

      That's strange, mine resumes the download when it's plugged in.

    Garmin should yet update the Topoactive maps and then propose an update for more detailled maps. I'm stuck with 2021 imagery and it sucks

    Hey brother, appreciate your videos! Was curious what the outdoor maps + was for my f7x. Do you happen to know, will the maps still be available if your subscription ends?

    • @ChaseTheSummit
      @ChaseTheSummit  Рік тому

      The maps won't be available once you cancel. The watch checks in on the cloud server every now and then. Once you cancel the watch would revert back to the pre-installed topo maps.

      Because those are topo maps and not satellite specific maps. Different tools for different jobs.

    Thank you for the video! Question, as these are described as map layers, does this mean I need the regular map as well at the same time? I am on “basic” Fenix 7 and after installing the EU maps, I am already almost out of space…

    • @ChaseTheSummit
      @ChaseTheSummit  Рік тому

      I'm pretty sure you could delete the standard basemap if you only wanted to use these layers but keep in mind these are only region specific.

      @ChaseTheSummit  Рік тому +1

      Keep in mind the Fenix 7X includes free maps pre-installed when you buy it. This mapping subscription is only for additional map layers that most people likely don't even need. It's really for specific niche use cases.

    Maybe these layers are applicable in the US. In the UK you only get 1 (satellite view) It’s not worth it!

    No doubt the high detail map is a wonderful thing but as long as the storage and processing ability cannot really keep up it becomes a lot of faff for something that I would call experimental right now anyway. And for anyone who grew up with paper maps as the only maps available I still think that the current maps are almost like science fiction and a brilliant tool for anyone maybe with the exception of some very few who might genuinely have a requirement for satellite image accuracy.
