People who have bought a Garmin GPS will have a CD shipped with it including Mapsource. Therfore below I describe two ways how you can install Mapsource legally nevertheless. Garmin only provides updates, no actual installation packages. Garmin Mapsource is not develloped anymore, but version 6.16.3 runs still pretty well and has no big bugs. The most popular is still Garmin Mapsource - even though it is superseeded by Garmin Basecamp and also Qlandkarte GT is on the way to overtake it. There are several programs to display openmtbmaps on your PC/notebook. The search function is actually much better than the Basecamp search function - but for general use I don't think that makes it worth-wile to stick to Mapsource.įor Reference only - Install Mapsource without owning an old Garmin Device Also it will display you a list of all selected tiles - this can be useful for debugging (though normal users don't need this).Īnother reason would be that Garmin Mapsource has a search function that is identical to your GPS Device. Basically to all devices that only support a single gmapsupp.img file! The advantage is that with Mapsource you can select the region on fullscreen - instead of the small popup screen of Basecamp/MapInstaller. Well to send maps to older generation devices like Vista HCx or GPSMaps 60CSx or even older. (Deutsch) Allgemeiner – Support auf Deutsch (members only)Īttention - I do not recommend to use Mapsource anymore except for sending maps to older generation devices!ī) It does not show OpenMTBMap or VeloMap contourlines! (it will send them though to your device)Ĭ) It has no proper database to store tracks or routes - yes undertanding the concept of the database in Basecamp is not easy - but once you got it, it is pretty well done!.Quick Introduction ID-Editor, Josm and Potlach2.Send maps with Basecamp (Mapinstall) or Mapsource.Install Garmin Basecamp (and maybe Mapsource).How to install the Openmtbmaps – Windows.Send Maps to GPS with Mkgmap (Cross-Platform).
