Use mapsource to update garmin

I noticed since then that they have added links to download by state. Does the installer now write multiple registry entries? What do I need to use as a settings file? Any Idea where I could find the "default" settings file that OSM uses to create the maps they send me?

I think you're confusing a few things here. OSM is just a geospatial database. What you see on the OSM website is a rendering of that data, by default done using a piece of software called Mapnik. Mapnik is not OSM, it is just a renderer. Each renderer produces a different looking map because it decides what to show, what not to show, and how to show it. You could go to the Cloudmade website and see yet another version of the same underlying OSM data and indeed, on Cloudmade you can really get your hands dirty and change the style to your heart's content.

You can then disable the highway map and use the trail map to route you along trails as close as possible to that address.

Custom POI file searches can be performed regardless of which maps are enabled. You can therefore search for snowmobile trailer parking spots with only your highway map enabled. Because there are no engineered speed limits assignments for trails, estimated time of arrival calculations cannot be relied upon and may be highly inaccurate.

I recommend to use the most uptodate version by Garmin as of writing this is 6. Earlier versions of Mapsource also 6. Use at least 6. Note that while Basecamp shows contourlines, Garmin Mapsource doesn't. Hence for general use I recommend Garmin Basecamp instead. I recommend installing a second map good idea is to install the map legend so you can get to know the layout!!!

Essentially 1 map would be enough also. Please update to at least 6. Simply unpack a mapsource update see links above , run MAIN. Now you can decide which of the two versions you want to use. I am a bit confused, you mention basecamp 4. Oh yeah — got confused with the OSx version which is 4. You must be logged in to post a comment.
