How to download free maps to your Garmin Edge 7. Touring. The Garmin Edge series of cycling computers is roughly split into two categories Those that have a mapping function, and those that dont. Mapping in this case means that the units also have routable navigation just like your car GPS does. Whereas the cycling GPS units without mapping may be able to follow a breadcrumb trail, but cant route you on actual streets or provide visual maps. Theyre more like an Etch a Sketch than a phone with useful maps. The challenge though with the higher end mapping units Garmin Edge 7. Edge 8. 00Edge 8. Edge 1. 00. 0 is that as expensive as they are, they dont actually include any maps. Well, ok, Ill be fair. GPS Visualizer can read GPS data files tracklogs waypoints, street addresses, or simple coordinates, and plot them on Google Maps. Explore and download apps to personalize your Garmin with Connect IQ, our open platform for thirdparty developer apps. They technically do include whats known as a basemap. However said basemap believes there are for example only three streets in New York City, and two in Paris. Obviously with such completely useless maps, youre not going to be able to navigate very far or very accurately. So instead you need to purchase more detailed maps, typically at a cost of 7. The definition of a region varies both in size as well as the type of map. No matter the case, youre spending more money on top of what you already spent. Now theres always been a free mapping option, but it hasnt been until semi recently that the process of getting these maps has been made really easy. I outlined this within the Edge 8. I wanted to call it out and make it more accessible especially to all those owners of Edge 5. Additionally, Ive simplified those instructions some. So heres step by step instructions for how to get the free Openstreet maps onto your Garmin Edge device. Requirements Despite how long all these screenshotted steps may look, the whole process is actually really quick and super easy. Its just that I was probably overly thorough in the screenshots. Active time 5 8 minutesBaking Time A number of hours. Device Garmin Edge 5. Storage A 1. 2 Micro SD card to put the maps on omit for Edge 5. The step by step pieces only take a few minutes. Theres a tiny bit of work to get the maps requested, which then puts you into a queue where your map request is processed and ultimately a link e mailed to you a few hours later. Thus the baking time. Then theres a few more minutes to copy the maps to your expansion card. Of course, theres no reason you need to sit there and watch paint dry. Just like you wouldnt sit and watch dough rise. You can get any size of Micro SD card. Ive tested all three Edge units using a variety of cards from 4. GB to a highest capacity 3. GB cards.   I had no issues there with the latest firmware on any of them. Most of the maps youll create are less than 1. GB in size, so a 1. GB card is more than sufficient. Note that these steps require the Garmin Edge 5. All three of these units have mapping capabilities. This wont work on the Garmin Edge 2. Those units dont support the mapping function. Nor will it work on any other 3rd party units. SorryPart I Downloading the maps. This entire post is made possible by Open. Street maps, which are free community driven maps. Openstreet maps have become in many areas just as good as maps from traditional providers. And best of all, theyre free. The below site simply does all the hard work that you used to have to do manually a few years ago if you wanted to use Open. Street maps.   Now, its literally as easy as 1. First up, going to the site. Which, will bring you here Note There are a few other free sites out there, but none offer as simple an interface, nor as widespread a geographic mapset to downloadYoull want to then choose Routable Bicycle as the map type. Choose Routable Bicycle Now youll select which maps you want. Because highly detailed maps like these can be somewhat large, youll likely need to pickup a cheap Micro SD card. Some smaller maps may fit directly on your Edge device, but only if youre talking a fairly small area. For me, I like to load up maps for anywhere nearby I might ride. In any case, youll start by choosing your continent, then country. In some areas such as the US and Canada, youll also choose the stateprovince. In my case, I went ahead and selected North America, then United States, then Washington State. Youll see how the map then will zoom in and show me the tiles that represent Washington State. Tiles are ways that the entire world can be broken down into consumable map chunks. Tiles dont usually map directly to states, but rather to large swaths of land ideally designed to keep tile sizes somewhat consistent. You can see below that its highlighted all tiles that cover Washington State. Now, if you plan to venture outside your selected area or if you want to choose a smaller area, simply enable Manual tile selection, which allows you to just pick and choose exactly which areas you need. For my trip to Seattle, I did just this. I narrowed it down to just the local area that I was likely to ride in. This would reduce my download time, as well as my transfer times later on to my device. But, if you plan to have the maps around for a while on your device, choose a larger set so you always have coverage. Once thats done youll go ahead and enter in your e mail address to build the map. Ill explain this in a second. The service works by generating the maps for you based on your specifications. This means it takes a bit of time, sorta like putting in an order at a restaurant. To do this it places you into a queue, and your e mail address is simply used to notify you when your maps are ready. Youll get an e mail a couple seconds later with a link that you can go to and check the status of your map creation The delay may range from a few minutes to a few hours. No worries, when its done itll send you another e mail and you can go pickup your files then With that, click on the link to be taken to download the maps. Once there, youll see you have a few options. The only one were going to pay attention to is the one ending with gmapsupp. This is essentially a self contained map file ready to drop right onto your Garmin. With that, download the file someplace handy like your desktop or downloads folder, and well come back to it in a second. I should point out that theres a Donate button on that site I have no affiliation with it, nor do I even know them or ever contacted them. Obviously, good karma dictates that if you find their freecommunity hosted service valuable, sending a couple bucks their way is probably wise especially given how much money youre saving. Part II Installing the maps. Note For the Edge 5. Part II applicable to the Edge 5. Next comes the easy part. The file you downloaded is a standard Zip file, which means the actual map file is inside it. Just like a package from Fed. Ex.   So youll go ahead and open up the Zip file to access the map file inside gmapsupp. Now take your Micro SD card and insert it into your computer via the Micro SD card adapter that likely came with it, or stick it into the Edge unit and plug that into your computer and access it via that way. Note, on the Edge 5. Edge 5. 20 directly to your computer and itll show as a USB drive. Follow the below instructions as normal from there. When you do so youll now have a blank card ready to dump some files onerr, a single file. First youll create a directory on it called GARMIN. Then, simply copymove the gmapsupp. GPSMAP 8. 20. 8 Garmin. Our fully integrated, 8 inch touchscreen GPSMAP 8.
