.map files

Post by Coppice »

Hi All,

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes.

I recently bought some off road gps files off ebay but they are .map file format, how do I go about reading them? I have a garmin zumo and an edge 800 but im more used to .gpx format.

why are you buying files off of ebay.
Surely there are safer places to download routes from
even on this forum there was a section where people could post and share routes so you can download for free.

You need to install .map or .mapi files into Basecamp and then create the .img file using Garmin Map Installer
