It might show a single dot for the entire city of Paris, or perhaps one highway leading into it. That so-called base map has virtually no detail in it. That’s when you were back to the base junk. Detailed maps too – not the old and useless ‘base map’ junk.īut what happens when you traveled outside your region? Thus if you buy an Edge device in the US you’ll have North American maps, and if you buy it in Spain you’ll have European maps, and if you buy it in Sydney you’ll have Australian/New Zealand maps.
Things have certainly changed in the Garmin Edge world in six years – most notably that all of Garmin’s mapping capable Edge devices now actually come with detailed maps for the region you bought it in. It’s almost identical to last week’s post and the one six years ago, except specific to the Garmin Edge series because frankly it’ll help people in Google trying to find Edge-specific instructions. But as promised, I’d be refreshing that old Edges-specific post too – which is what this new post is all about. Last week I published a piece on how to install free maps on your Garmin wearable, which was a tweaked update of my six-year-old post on how to install maps on your Garmin Edge devices.
