Where can I get maps for use in BaseCamp? | Garmin maps can be purchased from Garmin itself or Garmin dealers. Purchasing from Garmin direct allows you instant access via download. Other vendors (as well as Garmin) will sell an access card for downloading, or maps on other media such as DVD or SD card. Older Garmin units may not have the capacity to utilize downloaded maps initially, you may have to purchase a DVD first. As the BaseCamp copyright indicates it first published in 2008, we can assume that an 'older' unit is one designed before 2008. www.garmin.com Maps in Garmin format may be purchased from third-party vendors. These are often the best maps for locations other than North America (USA and Canada) and Europe. For example, superior maps of Mexico can be purchased from BiciMapas http://www.bicimapas.com.mx/Mapas_GPS_EN.htm Garmin format maps can be found for free at online sources. Acquiring Garmin routable maps for free is suggested only for advanced users. If you already own a Garmin device you may have access to the maps on that device through BaseCamp, but this feature is not available on older GPS devices. If your GPS came with 'lifetime' or 'onetime' upgrade access, you may be able to download Garmin maps to your device as well as your computer for use with BaseCamp. Although map products may be used on multiple computers, only maps purchased on an SD card are usable in multiple devices. Other media require that you associate the map product with one GPS device only. SD card format maps from Garmin have limitations, they cannot be upgraded and in most circumstances cannot be printed. This not the case with maps purchased on other media and then placed on an SD card for use in one (only) GPS. |
