How Do I Download New Maps To My Garmin Nuvi !NEW!

Here are maps in Garmin image file format people have created from OSM data. Sites are listed by continent, then by country alphabetically, then by suspected usefulness (eg. sites which cover a whole continent and are updated regularly are listed first.) Maps offered worldwide or for a continent are often offering country downloads - hence they are only listed once and not for each region again. As OpenStreetMap is changing fast - only maps updated during the last 6 month should be listed. Permanently Dead links - please remove the entry.

Maps are offered in different formats. As .exe for Mapsource and Basecamp and Qlandkarte GT installation (.exe can usually be unpaved with 7-zip or other programs). As .gmapi for Mac OSx Roadtrip/Basecamp. As gmapsupp.img for direct copying to a Garmin GPS device.

For instructions to make your own Garmin map from OSM data, see OSM Map On Garmin#Creating Your Own Maps from OSM Data. For instructions to make a cycle map, see OSM Map On Garmin/Cycle map. For the MapSource installer, that allows you to use these maps with Garmin's Windows software, see Garmin Mapsource installer.

Like many folks who had previously been able to update maps to their Garmin GPS using its built-in memory, the latest maps don't fit on my Garmin Drive 50 LMT. So I figured out I needed to get a Class 10 microSHDC card. I installed a 32GB one, which is the correct maximum size allowed by this model per Garmin, in the correct slot in back of the GPS. I rebooted both the GPS and the PC.

But Garmin Express still says I don't have enough memory to update the maps and isn't offering to use the micro SD card. It's just looking at the GPS' built-in drive and says there isn't room to install the updated maps; contact support. How do I get it to use the micro SD card slot instead of its built-in drive?

Also I don't get the opportunity I see in Garmin customer support to choose a smaller regional (not national) map update on my GPS. Garmin Express is not offering me *any* options, other than contacting Customer Support. I figure I'm much better off asking for help here. Others have successfully updated this GPS to the latest maps. Something's off that I'm missing.

CraigW, I believe that last fall I installed the full North American map update offered then. I don't see a map version number anywhere. But the internal drive with maps only, no POIs, takes up all but 2.22 MB of the available 3.38 GB, so it's taking up about 3.1 GB, if that gives a clue to what map is loaded.

...

But with all the above in mind, I still get the error message when I try to update the maps: "We're unable to install the updates. The latest version of these maps have so much new information that we're not going to be able to fit it all on your device's internal memory. Please contact Product Support for help with updating your maps."...Hmm, I do wonder about the quote above assuming it's exactly what Garmin offers as an error message. Not having a Drive 50, maybe that's just what's offered when a Drive 50 needs a SD card. But I think the error message requiring additional storage by using an SD has always in the past mentioned SD cards specifically. I wonder if your error message without the standard "get an SD card and try again" is telling us something else is going on besides the lack of needed free storage space.

Craig, I forgot that the info about what current map is installed is displayed not in Garmin Express, where I looked and didn't find it even with the GPS connected, but on the GPS itself under Settings > My Maps - installed maps: "Update Maps - CN North America NT 2020.20 Foursquare" and "CN North America 2020.20 Lower 49 States" are both checked. (Foursquare, for anyone who hasn't seen this, is what Garmin calls a location-based social network for displaying their POIs, included on certain Garmin models. I never use this feature and wouldn't mind if it could be nuked to free up space in internal memory.)

Garmin Express still says I don't have enough memory to update the maps and isn't offering to use the micro SD card. It's just looking at the GPS' built-in drive and says there isn't room to install the updated maps; contact support. How do I get it to use the micro SD card slot instead of its built-in drive?Has the latest map grown beyond 4GB? FAT32 has a max limit of 4 GB.

Also, if you simply want to replace the 2012 maps with newer ones, all you need to do is put the gmapsupp.img in the same place as the existing one (the internal memory if you didn't have an SD card before) and overwrite it.

There are several ways to load free OSM maps onto your Garmin GPS, but they can be overly technical and cumbersome. In this guide, I'll show you how to do it in a simple, step-by-step process. OSM maps are free and provide an alternative to costly Garmin map chips and downloads.

So let me start by saying there are many ways to get free Garmin GPS maps and many different methods to install them. You could create whole websites devoted to the subject, and people have (see below). This article focuses on installing my favorite free Garmin GPS maps for hiking in the USA, using OpenStreetMaps. If these don't work for you, try exploring the other map services that I have listed below.

OpenStreetMaps are the Wikipedia of maps. The public contributes to, confirms, and edits the data on the map. This curation goes for hiking trails too. The maps are regularly updated, and over the last few years have seemed the most accurate in my experience. You can even become a contributor if you like.

First off, the Garmin unit you have might have maps already. You probably know this, but if you're shopping for a GPS, go to the Garmin website page for the unit. If it maps come with the unit, it will say it has "preloaded topo maps."

If you already have a unit and want to find out if these free maps work, go to the unit's page on the Garmin website, and then check out the "specs" section. There is a line for "ability to add maps," if you have a check there, you're good to go.

That's it. The maps are on your computer. If you're not already using the free Garmin Basecamp tool, I highly recommend getting it. It will allow you to browse maps, create tracks, and is invaluable in planning hikes.

Last year, I bought the Garmin GPSMAP 64s and I am super happy with it! However it took me some time to find out how and where I could get the right maps for my new device. I tried a number of different methods but I finally decided this was the right way for me.

If you bought a memory card for your device, you can upload your maps on there. The process is exactly the same. Only when connecting your device to your computer, you will see two different drives pop up. Take the one that is not called Garmin, it will be somthing like USB-station (F:). In there you will find a folder Garmin, open that and copy-paste your file in there.

seems to work on my old garmin zumo 660, its an old motorcycle gps , i got it for free with an older bike i bought, the maps where dated. i removed all the files and saved them on my laptop to get enough room for the new maps i wanted, it works !

Hi Wouter, so the new maps then are not supposed to show up on the list at all and cannot be enabled or disabled? I have tried downloading my .img file both to the SanDisk microSD installed on my Garmin Gpsmap 64 and downloading it directly onto the device and this map is not appearing in the selection. Thanks

I have installed the plugin, and it works with myGarmin, however I cannot register my device because I need to install whatever Windows software (Garmin Express) it requires, and all I can find is "Purchasing maps update"...

I have complete set of 1:50000 maps of Sri Lanka in .tiff format. They have .TFW files accompanied with them. Now I need to create maps to use with my etrex 20 device using those tiff files. How can I do it?

Ok for anyone who has an older Garmin ie one of the nuvi 660 range, I found that placing the maps on a sd card seems to have a limit of around 2GB, So for example any combination of maps or Germany does not show, so keeping the map below this limit should work perfectly.

Another add on is downloading POI points speed cams etc on to the same SD card to go along with the map (using the garmin poi loader), is another good point, again with this Garmin model it seems to have some sort of limit which I found to be around 19 or 20 POi points, with each SD card you can change the country and add the POi to that country with it.

I have made and use Garmin MapSource mapsets larger than 10GiB, which can not be written to a FAT32 partition as they are too large. When using a 64GiB SD in a Garmin receiver that uses a SD card, I divide the card into 2 partitions: a first partition slightly less than 4GiB for maps and other data for the receiver and the remainder of the space I make a large NTFS formatted partition for my large MapSource mapsets (the Americas, Oceania, Asia, Africa and Europe). ff782bc1db
