![]() ![]() If you use a track, the path over the ground is preserved, and you can happily change maps. If the maps or routing preferences are different (at all) chances are the route gets mangled. ![]() If you don’t, the Garmin itself will have a crack at picking a route through the points you’ve chosen. When you get the route the way you want it, TURN IT INTO A TRACK to send to the Garmin. There are options within the Basecamp routing profiles which influence the choice of route which may be worth playing with. Switching routing profiles while plotting a route doesn’t seem to work properly, but you can force it into ‘direct’ mode by holding down one of the shift/control/alt keys to ‘bridge’ across a section that it thinks is un-routable (can’t remember which key, and it’s probably different on the Mac, anyway). You can download it from the link above and install on Basecamp (you could also install it on the Garmin if you wish).īasecamp still makes the occasional bizarre choice, but you can ‘undo’ and try clicking closer to where you want to go, and it usually gets the message. You will still be able to see the trail color, and read the trail name text over the magenta route indicator.Not sure to what level the OS maps are routable, but the ‘Openfietsmap Lite’ map is very good for cycle routes / bridleways / paths (it’s based on Open Streetmap). Whenever you calculate a route, the magenta route indicator will still be beneath the trail, but it will be much wider and more visible at every zoom level. Select BACKWOODS theme from your GPS menu -settings-map-theme. ZIP file.Ĭopy the BACKWOODS.kmtf file to the \ Themes\Map\ folder on your GPS. You can download this theme file by clicking on this BackwoodsTheme.zip file link.Įxtract the BACKWOODS.kmtf theme file from the. The magenta color will be clearly visible on both sides of the trail line. Download the Garmin BaseCamp update file into a directory on your hard drive. We supply a customized map theme that improved the visibility of the magenta route indicator at all zoom levels by increasing the width of the line. These include the Drive and DriveSmart models, Nuvi 57, Nuvi 2575, Zumo XT, and more. Is this a MAC or Windows computer You can update the astro with. So I began searching and I found that the problem comes from two points. This problem occurs on an GPS model any that supports Map Themes. I think you just made a mistake and should of said Web Updater. With a newer update (after my post) the problem became worse and I was not able to use Garmin Basecamp at all Very annoying, since this means that I cannot create my trips to use them in Garmin Oregon, which means that my Oregon cannot function anymore. This can make it difficult to identify the route unless you are zoomed in quite far. ![]() Several Garmin GPS Models display the magenta line that highlights the calculated route under the trail rather than on top of it. ZIP file after having the GPS format the card. If you don’t have the capability to read the map data from the old card, you can download the data from our website and copy the contents from the downloaded. Once you restart the GPS your maps should again be available and the GPS will not ask to format it again. You can then copy the map files saved on your hard disk back on to the micro-sd card mounted in the GPS. Once you have the data backed up on your hard disk, allow the Drive or DriveSmart GPS to format the card. ![]() You can also use your older Garmin to read the card. That works if you computer has a SD or micro-sd card slot that can read the old micro-sd card. To work around this firmware bug, you can use an alternative way of reading the micro-sd card and copying the contents to your computers hard disk. Most of our older micro-sd cards were less than 4gb, so if you try to use your old micro-sd card the Garmin will not let you use the card until it is formatted by the GPS. If it detects a card less than 4gb, the GPS will insist that you format the card, which destroys the contents. Several variations of Garmin Drive and DriveSmart GPS units have firmware that will not support a pre-formatted micro-sd card less than 4gb in size. img files as described in the installation instructions. V1.65 of our snowmobile trail,maps avoid this bug by providing multiple map. Seems to occur most frequently when large topographical maps are such as ibycus topo for Quebec. Garmin’s Zumo and nuvi 2757 models have a quirk where they fail to display our combined trail and topographical map. The link below describes how to downgrade BaseCamp/MapInstall to a version that works. The latest version 4.7.0 of Garmin BaseCamp updates Garmin MapInstall which is unable to download and install supplemental maps (like our trail maps) to your GPS. ![]()
