Garmin fenix tactix How To Install Maps

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n-sACErYL4

* GET THE GEAR ON AMAZON* • https://www.amazon.com/shop/jimcyr • In this video, we'll look at an undocumented feature for the fenix / tactix; loading maps. • The device only has about 20MB of storage space, you probably don't want to load up more than 10MB of maps and still be able to load waypoints, tracks, etc.... I think 5MB would be enough. • Luckily there are some free OSM maps that have been rendered to be light to accommodate the greyscale display. You will need to have the following free applications installed: BASECAMP, MAP INSTALL MAP MANAGER. • Step ONE: Download the OSM fenix map for your area from • http://www.gmaptool.eu/en/content/map... • Step TWO: • Download GARMIN MAP MANAGER. This is a free download. Unpack/unzip the archive. Double click the .gmap file and it will install the file into the GARMIN BASECAMP folder. • Step THREE: • You can verify that the map has been installed by going into BASECAMP. • Now we need to transfer map tiles to the fenix / tactix, we'll use MAP INSTALL for this. Make sure you plug your fenix / tactic to your computer via USB. • Step FOUR: • Using MAP INSTALL, select Advanced / Partial install and select the OSM fenix map. From here select the tiles you want to transfer to the device. • Click CONTINUE and allow the tranfer to complete. • Step FIVE: • Open the GARMIN drive on your computer (the fenix /tactix mass storage) and go into the GARMIN subfolder. • You will see the OSM FENIX * .img file. Rename this to gmapsupp.img • Disconnect the device from the USB and allow it to restart. You should see the new maps once you are on the map data page. • - - - - - - - - - - • SUBSCRIBE!!
