I recommend to use the most uptodate version by Garmin (as of writing this is 6.16.3)Įarlier versions of Mapsource (also 6.13.6) are now incompatible with the VeloMaps as they do not show all ways and streets!!!! Use at least 6.16.1 or higher. 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 VeloMaps 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!.Participate in OSM – Tagging Guidelines.Quick Introduction to Josm and Potlatch and ID-Editor.
