I have recently taken out a subscription with birdseye satellite imagery. Last week I downloaded (at highest resolution) a small area of glasgow city centre,uk, and placed this on the memory card in my garmin 550t. Basecamp confirmed the expected high res image (comparable to the same google maps image).
However, the last couple of days I have been trying to download larger coverage areas of glasgow city (up to 200MB) and noticed that at each attempt (at highest detail level) the size of the .jnx file transferred over to the garmin's memory card was suspiciously low (around 4000KB in size). One of these attempts even overlapped with my download last week. In basecamp it was very clear that these recent downloads were, as expected, very low detail, however the overlapping last weeks download was visibly much higher in resolution....something not right here!
I even video'd an attempt (using bandicam software) confirming a download size of 198MB, at highest detail setting, covering 165 sq km.....this took 23 seconds :eek: and produced a .jnx file transferred to the garmin memory card of 4206KB in size......clearly incorrect for the settings I chose!:eek:
I notice that others have also noted this problem e.g. jacobbax at https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?t=19388 :cool:
Is this a real fault (definately appears to be) or does anyone have any other ideas?:confused:
This problem happens with both the current and beta releases of basecamp
