Hello Looking to try and add a map of Belgium for cycling to an older Garmin Etrex Vista C, it doesn't take a memory card. Is it possible to add a map and if so can someone tell me how? Thanks asked 29 Mar '11, 14:20  Jannza |

Most people who generate maps for Garmin's will create two forms: a answered 29 Mar '11, 15:41  SK53 ♦ |
Have a look at Garmin in the OSM wiki --> subpage etrex ... there you can find more info. And in general: OSM_Map_On_Garmin answered 29 Mar '11, 14:27  stephan75 |
Thank you. I'm maybe cycling from Bruge to Ninove approx 50 miles. And I have mapsource but the maps are bit basic. Poi not required just road or path. answered 29 Mar '11, 16:55 Jannza edited 29 Mar '11, 16:57 1 Suggest you download http://sites.google.com/site/openfietsmap/ and install this in MapSource. Plan your route & then select maps along route & download using MapSource onto the garmin (29 Mar '11, 18:27) SK53 ♦ 1 You can download the Openfietsmap Benelux light version which contains less topo details than the full version and install with mapsource a few tiles that you need. I'm not sure if it will fit into 24mb memory though. (03 Apr '11, 15:41) ligfietser |
You can use Sendmap to upload maps to your Garmin. Its freeware, and there are versions available for Windows or Linux. Download it from cGPSmapper answered 29 Mar '11, 19:04  Vclaw |
this link http://www.pifpafpuf.de/cycleroute/map would help you to make and import a route into your garmin which would only need a small amount of memory it will work well on it as well.If you must have a map you will have to use SK53 method answered 30 Mar '11, 21:32  andy mackey |
A Garmin Etrex Vista C has got 24Mb internal memory I believe - you really won't get a lot of map information in that. What sort of information are you looking to display (just highway=*? POIs as well?) and for how much of Belgium?
