On the contrary, The info in This is a necessary evil in order to have a balance between good performance and information.

A heavy and slow map will cause much frustration regarding usability. When loading the map to the device using Mapinstall, the installer loads the map to the memory card but, since this is a new model GARMIN with 2 cards the installer does not know the difference between the camera memory card or the map memory card.

These maps will clash in geographical areas, and will cause routing and navigation problems on your GPS Device. However if you are going to try and do this then note the following:. The GPS will always recalculate the route once loaded on some units you have to import the route after transferring it.

For this reason the route calculation settings on the GPS and your Basecamp software must also be exactly the same else you will get different results. If you succeed in transferring a route and you select this route then your GPS will now try to get you to the start of the route.

If your starting point is different from what you calculated on the GPS you will have to recalculate the route from your current location. Go to our online shop and register here.

You make us proud. Janine Reyneke — May 22, Hi Philip! Keep going!!! Paul Oosthuizen. When loading the map to the device using Mapinstaller the installer loads the map to the memory card but, since this is a new model GARMIN with 2 cards the installer does not know the difference between the camera or map memory card With both cards slotted the Tracks4Africa map was loaded to the camera memory card and the GARMIN nuviCam LMTHD then showed an error asking to move the memory card to the map slot To overcome this problem I then removed the camera memory card to ensure Mapinstaller can see only the map memory card and tried again.

This worked, the Tracks4Africa map was loaded succesfully and the device can view it in the maps memory slot All the functions work perfectly Thanks Leo. Janine Reyneke — June 5, Hi Johan — thanks for reviewing our product.

The problem lies in Basecamp. We have advised Garmin of this issue. Your problem should then be resolved OR Contact our sales staff for assistance. If that does not work, try to copy the. If that does not work try to copy the. Our Garmin SD cards will not work on this device. It could be that this may work however we cannot say for sure as we do not create cards specifically for the device you have. The manufacturer or dealer should be able to assist you with this.

If you find that Basecamp is running very slowsly on your MAC, and that it is slow to react when you pan or zoom on it: We advise that you uninstall Basecamp.

Then reinstall Basecamp. This may resolve your issue. It only communicates to a Windows computer, not Mac. It is possible to connect it to Basecamp on a Windows computer and we could load our maps to it and it is compatible. Our SD Card version from We realised that this unit and some other newer Garmin models require the folder structure on the Sd card to be slightly different and it was easy enough to include this change.

We could not find a way to load and copy tracks from the Overlander without having to use the Explorer app though. So that is a bit of an oversight on their side as this unit is made to use in remote areas without the implicit need for internet access.

The bracket the Overlander comes with does not hold up to off road travel for long. Our unit was in fact shipped with a RAM ball adapter and I would strongly recommend doing this conversion and mounting the unit with RAM fittings and suction cups. Either will work, but the recommended option FAT However if you are going to try and do this then note the following: Sometimes customers report various routing problems: Basecamp is calculates routes incorrectly, or routes and times are wrong Routes and times are incorrect on a GPS unit For problem-solving please try this: Basecamp and your Garmin GPS must have the exact same maps loaded , i.

The old and new versions respectively. We do not have Interstate or State Highways in Africa, and if those are ticked, it causes problems when trying to do routing in Basecamp. Select activity profile and then go to routing, to see which avoidances are switched on. Note that if you have one profile for driving, one for motorbike, and one for hiking, you will need to untick it for each activity profile.

If you do have avoidances ticked, please untick them and click on OK — now try the same route again, and see if the map still re-routes you on a detour for no reason. Sometimes we have tracks in a concession area, where one may only travel with a guide, e. So we have the tracks in the map, so you can still do planning for this area if you want, but we put a break in our roads, so you cannot navigate directly into this area. Best practise: We normally advise people to calculate their routes on Basecamp in order to do their trip planning.

Sometimes a customer has an older version of Windows ie. Older Versions of Basecamp and Mapsource. Customers might sometimes also require a T4A Map with the older installation file of the current version. Please request this to sales tracks4africa. You can follow the steps below in order to remove this. We are reported the issue to Garmin and they have removed it in their latest units: To solve for now: Step 1 : Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable the device came with.

If you downloaded the free link from Garmin to install Mapsource — and it gave an error during the installation informing you that you have to have another Garmin software product installed on your computer in order to complete the Mapsource installation, you can try to install MapInstall first, and then try to install Mapsource again: MapInstall Click here for the download link to MapSource in order to install it: MapSource.

Steps on the Garmin Montana range: On the home page of the GPS, click on the arrow on the left-hand side of the screen. Select Setup on the next page Then select Map. Click on the map you wish to enable on your GPS device.

Select Enable in order to have the GPS map of your choice enabled. To us a sat nav and GPS is the same thing. Our maps are compatible with any map-capable Garmin GPS. Garmin will specify in the specifications section if a GPS is map-capable and if one can load additional maps, but this is true for almost all of them.

You are going to get a few warning messages before the final file will open: Click yes. Open as an xml. Click OK If you have tracks and routes in the same file, you will get another error message you can only open waypoint locations, not tracks and routes Click OK.

Or, would you want to use it for hiking or MTB as well? If so, look for something with replaceable AA batteries and robustness. If you would use it in the car only, look at the Nuvi range. If so, you want something waterproof and purpose built. Look at the garmin Zumo range — Garmin Zumo range is the BMW bike range and comes with glove friendly interface, bluetooth connectivity etc. Our maps will work on these units.

A lot of bikers use the Zumo , but there are newer models. All GPS can record waypoints, but only a few can record your tracks. This is handy if you want trace back on a route you have just driven, but only really necessary in extreme off the road driving.

T4A maps are based only on such track recordings so we always encourage users to record their tracks and to submit these to us so we can update the maps with more or better data. Do you intend to do city navigation with GPS?

If yes, then get any GPS loaded with a city map. If you buy an Oregon or GPSMap 62 it will not come with a city navigator map preloaded, in which case you have to factor the cost of such map in separately normally R Tracks4Africa will be more than adequate for navigation to places in the cities, i. We cover camp sites, fuel, lodging and a very extensive range of other features related to travellers on our maps.

The further away you from the cities the better our detail becomes. If you want to go for a cheaper option then look at any entry level Drive unit with a bigger screen.

The routing on all of these work the same and these days they all have track recording functions. The Garmin Overlander: Read here for more info. That is That's one thing I'm really worried about--installing a map and causing the Nuvi to become unusable.

Thanks for addressing that issue! Took a look under the battery and yes, there was an empty slot for an SD card. Most of the times the map is called gmapsupp. The downloading of torrent illegal Garmin maps might result in a virus and often the map itself doesn't work. If you go to the OSM site you see some possibilities, the easy one is the gmapsupp selection, you can download this file and. Please don't make baseless statements such as this. There are a bunch of perfectly legal, legitimate maps that are distributed as.

Yes there are some pirated maps out there, but just the fact that it uses. The files at openmapchest. These are legal and compiled from Open Street Map data.

It's an easier way to get the entire US at once than going to garmin. You can just get a new map from OSM. Move the old map to your computer and copy the new one to the Nuvi. Reverse when you return. You could do a route map for the trip. I use the OSMs on my Oregon. It reverts to the base map when you leave the detail area. I think that's what the Nuvi does but I'm not positive. Whew, I was a little scared there that I had broken the law by downloading that.

Relieved to see that's not the case! About the last two replies fishgeek and sussamb : That makes perfect sense to me, moving maps on and off the Nuvi. Kind of like filling a flash drive with files to take someplace else, and then deleting them when you get home and don't need them on there anymore.

It says it works on the Nuvi and has lots of good reviews. I think that's the way I'm going to go. Thanks again to everyone for all the help.

Happy caching!!! Since the OP seems to start from scratch and was struggling with a torrent that needed another script to open that file it. Hey, no worries, it's all good! That's cool of you to write back and clarify. I have 4 Nuvi's set up like that. You said you only wanted updated maps. But please consider, the Nuvi is a 3. Unless you can find a way to get free maps, I would seriously be thinking about getting something else. You may still be able to find a similar bargain as we get closer to X-mas.

Also, check out Ebay and Amazon as they sometimes offer refurbs that will meet your needs. All the best whatever you decide. If we drive past a cache that we have loaded, it will show up as a symbol depending on the type of cache on the map. We can also touch the "geocache" button and see how far away and in which direction the nearest caches are, relative to our current location.

Then we touch the name of a given cache to get all the details so we can go after it. If there are newer and reasonably priced GPSers on the market that have that geocaching feature, we're interested. Otherwise, we want to stick with what we have. I really enjoy caching in and around Canton.

I think the Nuvi 5xx model is the only nuvi that was a true "crossover" The only Garmin unit that can compare now is the Montana or Monterra But with the added cost of maps and the cradle they are very expensive.

So the 5xx nuvi is unique and useful in its own right. SInce you are happy with it, IMO it is worth the investment for a map upgrade. I agree Share :. Useful phone applications.
