North america garmin edge 810 official maps free download

Thanks for your tutorial. Do you have a solution? It will say what area it is. May the unit you bought only had the US maps. I would go back to the shop and have them explain.

I try to contact Garmin support to know the method to fix this issue. As always a great a detailed article with relevant content. I have only an Edge but decided to try it out with a super small piece of map from Austria. File size 7,1 Mb. I created and downloaded the. Then I tried to install the. As expected the disc space was not sufficient. So I decided to move the two pre-installed. In theory, this should free space up for a small 7,1 Mb file.

Unfortunately this did not happen. I still miss 6,4 Mb to install the downloaded map. I cannot move the two pre-installed. So I basically lost the ability to use my pre-installed maps. Can you give some advise on how to restore the Edge storage capability?

At least so I can get the original pre-installed maps back onto my device. Thanks in advance. How did you remove the files from your ? On a Mac? If so, dragging to the Trash does not remove the files, just puts them in a hidden directory. Something similar might have to be done on Windows. Having problems with a Garmin — some with the updated core maps, some with these OpenStreetMaps. Update required adding an SD card, which I did.

Maps are basically blank, only major roads shown at low zoom levels — useless. Reinstalled maps from Garmin Express, same same. Tried downloading these OpenStreetMap gmapsupp. Hi community, Is anyone having issues with the watts being displayed on the Edge ? I recently updated the firmware to 7. I rode two different bikes with two different power meters both Stages with latest firmware and they both are showing upwards of watts which is not realistic for me.

I already did a user resetting and a data resetting basically a master reset on the unit but the problem persist. I changed it anyways but the problem persists. Thank you. To me though, Garmin is still missing the boat here. These should be easily done via nothing more than just the Garmin Connect Mobile app and WiFi kinda like downloading music works.

Pay, and be done. Is there a way to make this swap to European maps without having to pay extra money? However, Garmin now has on their site the ability to pay about 20EUR to get the maps for the region you want. The name is Jose Tiu. I never used this name. I search in Garmin forum but nothing. I contact garmin France. The only solution is to do a change with the shop.

The issue is that if you have maps in only in. MapInstall will only transpile maps onto a Garmin device or an SD card. In the case of an SD card, it works best if there is a GarminDevice.

My first quick and dirty solution was to copy the. Then I can copy the. You can rename and unmount it like any other disk. Inside the root of your virtual SD, create a folder Garmin. Inside of Garmin create a GarminDevice. You can get the GarminDevice. One other note is that a bunch of the font colors in MapInstall 4. Why Garmin enabled Dark Mode but did not set the font colors correctly is baffling. Thanks for the instructions. Mine works now. Try moving the gmapbmap.

Mine works fine now. Has any one else been able to resolve this? I just tried it with my new Garmin , and it works well. I did use a map from link to wandrer. It worked great, and it was fantastic to be able to follow all of those red lines to pick up more Wandrer points! Stephen — Have you figured out how to update your maps from wandrer onto your Garmin so that it updates your unridden roads?

I have a base head unit and there seems to be less and less storage available for these maps. I deleted my activity files freeing up very little space and moved the.

What other files ought I thin out to free up space? I only have 2 courses loaded right now. Not sure if you saw, but my older post covers the Edge a bit better since that was space constrained : link to dcrainmaker. I have Strava Live segments so do I need to un-star segments in Strava to remove them in a sync or can I remove manually from I assume the segments folder? I doubt I have lots of structured workouts but I may have a legacy self generated one for an IRL race training session that had very complex data profile so could be a large file.

Will check when I get home. Thanks again. That freed the space up okay but having installed the map per instructions…no map evident. Tried BBBike as the primary link appears not to be loading maps right now , loaded the file into the , even restarted the Hmm, will have to sleep on it.

Fresh eyes at it tomorrow. I have a Garmin edge and want to find an alternative solution and followed the link to BBB. Also I heard that there is a possibility the BBBike.

Do you know if this is the case and if there is a way around this? I went there when the primary site appeared to be down. I tried both formats and saw no big differences. I would remind you to rename the new map to gmapbmap and I had to move the gmapbmap. Hope this helps. Sharing for those that may also have issues: when using the bbbike.

I have a couple of issues with map loading on an Garmin Edge I have not seen any anomalies, but I am unable to display a map or a location in Mallorca on the device from here. This is a little disquieting because b I have been unable to reach the linked map source and have had to use the alternate BBBike extracts , which I have no prior experience with. Thanks for the great post. Has something gone wrong here? The other link you provide in the article to the other service does still work, and provides the right file.

I have been trying to follow these instructions to download maps on my Garmin Edge Plus that I purchased in the US but am currently in Singapore. Frustratingly, nothing seems to work. I get to each stage and even saved the gmapsupp file to my Garmin device. After a lot of trials and errors I have finally managed to install the maps for Singapore. One of the posts mentioned about different file types and while the UTF-8 file did not work the latin version did.

The process is the same though. I am having some issues though. I no longer have turn by turn directions with the text box at the top of the screen just blank. Weirdly, when I go off course I get directions but then they stop as soon as I rejoin the route. Has anyone else had this issue or have an idea of how to fix it? Try looking for some better maps.

Thanks for the advice. Although it is strange that it manages to direct me back to the route when I go off track. If you have only iOS devices you can still copy maps to a device. Plug the USB into the adapter then plug that into the iPad. 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 Step 3: You have two choices at this point — you can download a pre-defined country or build your own custom map.

Note: download map now does not always work so see step 4. 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.

He needed his map to be in French. The trip I am taking comes with planned routes gpx using Base camp, do I copy there routes to the « new file » folder of the Garmin or the « new fille » folder on on the SD card where the maps are saved?

If everything is on the Sd card do I then modify my Garmin to save my daily data on the Sd card also? I have downloaded maps as your instructions for the Edge However the maps are on the unit, but when I switch it on there is nothing different from the standard navigation? Do I have to download something more than the gmapsupp file? I have done this before but my garmin keeps hanging up on the maps.

I tried to download new maps but can not find the gmapsupp. Hi, thanks for posting the download but for some reason my Garmin edge is not recognising the MAPS when i go into the Map information section on the device. A Did you download the right map type within the site? B Did you take the files out of the zip folder? C Did you put them in the Garmin folder. Any other thoughts? Could someone share this content with me?

Would this make a difference as to whether the maps can be downloaded or not. You can always try it and see what will happen. Hi, So i followed all the steps and i powered the garmin edge but its just on the Startup screen, where its showing the garmin logo and the copyright things. I recently purchased the new Edge plus and the micro SD card is no longer an option. The storage has been increased to 32gb. I contacted Garmin and maps of Japan are not available on the device.

If I bought a unit in Japan it would have the maps. Garmin is marketing the device saying that you get free worldwide maps. Considering how much we pay for these devices they should include everything. Is the process the same without the memory card for getting Japan maps and can I download a map of the whole country?

Or, do I have to check individual boxes. Did you read all the instructions that are given to us in this article? For other version of how to download maps on a Garmin unit you can also use google. There is one by cyclingabout. And as far as remember you can choose to do the whole country. Just to say that individual tiles of the routable bike mapping seems to no longer be available. Round about the time that Covid started, a message appeared at the top of the OSM page saying that due to server problems you can only download full country maps.

Maybe this is prompting me to buy a new Edge that includes maps! Yes — you can still only download a full country at link to garmin. Probably easiest to down load a small area of each one and just try it. Me too. Easy-Peasy instructions. Now I need to learn how to use the , and get out riding!

Hi Great instructions. Unfortunately openstreetmaps are saying that the download just for the UK will be available in 32 days!! Thanks for posting this.

Great Instructions. I have an I followed the directions, but I think I made to big of a map file. The file is 1. It loads OK, But I wonder what effect it will have on battery life. Someone else noticed a big drop in battery life. I made the map a few years back following your instructions but included way too many places. Some in California. Maybe that would be more efficient? Google Maps works OK for turn by turn. Seems like the Garmin Maps were kind of a cool thing a few years back, but not so much now-a-days.
