Free OSM-based Motorbike Maps for Garmins

I’ve been utilizing Garmins for nearly 20 years, however by no means discovered an excellent backroads map. Many occasions I struggled to show round, on a slope, on an impassible unpaved highway that seemed paved on the map. So final yr, throughout off season, I developed an OSM map for motorcycling. I known as it an AdvOSM map. Quickly, my pals requested for related maps for his or her international locations, after which their pals, so I upgraded my laptop and developed and revealed a set of motorcycling maps on-line. There have been 400 downloads to this point. The decrease 48 states take three maps due to the 4GB microSD most file measurement limitation. Alaska and Canada are in a single map. Mexico, Central America in a single map, and South America in a single map. All will be loaded right into a Garmin on the identical time and performance as a seamless map, routable from Tierra del Fuego to Inuvik.

The maps analyze all out there OSM information to show paved roads individually from unpaved roads; tracks and repair roads which might be open to bikes individually from these which might be closed to bikes; and monitor grades, floor warnings, slim roads, weir crossings, ford crossings, protected areas, footpaths, and steep terrain (as contour traces). The maps embrace overlays of the Trans America Path, Trans Canada Journey Path, Trans Euro Path, and Trans Australia Path.

Be at liberty to obtain and revel in them! I replace them twice a month. I will be contacted by e-mail by way of the contact kind on the underside of the web site.

Please be aware that they IMG recordsdata that have to be copied right into a microSD card or the interior reminiscence of the Garmin utilizing a PC. They’ve been used on many kinds of handheld Garmins (400 downloads to this point, with constructive suggestions) however I haven’t had suggestions from anybody who has used it in a built-in BMW navigator. I’d like to listen to from somebody who has completed so.
