The two map sets don't even match up to each other. The map with Brussels does not know where Paris is or vice-versa. For instance, no routing from Brussels to Paris. If you go from one map set to the other it will not route across the two map set boundaries. Garmin Europe is now split in two map sets. It looks like Garmin really screwed things up, badly.
#GARMIN BASECAMP EUROPE UPDATE#
This week I decided to buy an update for an upcoming trip. Are they reliable and efficient?ĭo not hesitate to send me your feedback to know if these solutions are relevant.For the last 4 years I have been using Garmin 2018 Europe maps. These solutions seem to me to be somewhat confidential and still not widely disseminated and/or used. OruxMaps on Google Play and some maps here.However for those who would be interested, they are the following: I haven't tested the solutions that Julien quoted and described to me. On a bike I consider dedicated GPS guidance much more powerful, reliable and above all RESISTANT to shocks and rain. Personally I use intensively Smartphone guidance on foot. This corresponds to a guidance on Smartphones. In August 2016 Julien, a website visitor, sent me a message telling me about the interest of mobile applications and associated offline mapping. This solution is described on the page 3D-ROUTE-BUILDER.
#GARMIN BASECAMP EUROPE SOFTWARE#
This is therefore long, uncertain and tedious.Īnother, quasi-automatic solution is to use software that uses the Google-Earth engine to retrieve altitudes. You can see in real time that the profile changes considerably, becomes more complex, and finally becomes complete and true. To make it EXACT you have to zoom in very hard on the origin of the route and then move the route on the screen to scan the entire route, but be careful not to do so too fast to give the application time to retrieve altitude data from ALL route points. The big problem is that this profile is FALSE, as it is roughly based on the global vision scale of the route. In Google-Earth you have to right-click on the imported route and then choose the option 'Show Elevation Profile' in the contextual menu. One solution is to export the ROUTE created in BASECAMP into a GPX file, then import it into Google-Earth. This way you can trace your routes across several countries without any complication or juggling. Thus with the map ' Continent Europe' we're showing all of Europe simultaneously. By making a modest Contribution-Donation (20€ the first year, 13€ the following years) it is possible to obtain maps grouped by continents.However WARNING, only one map (ONLY ONE COUNTRY) can be displayed at any given time.You can download the country or countries you are interested in.But the goal here is to use it by installing a FREE and SPECIALIZED VELOMAP version. The cartography included is ridiculous and unusable.
#GARMIN BASECAMP EUROPE INSTALL#
It's a Windows (or Mac) software to install on your PC, free download. Happy owners of Garmin GPS we use their software BASECAMP. France, Germany…) that can be installed on a computer. The VELOMAP project is based on OpenStreetMap cartographic data (with of course the CYCLABLE DATA) and including them in national maps (e.g. To really build your route you need a vector mapping tool.
