Garmin Express - get maps for the area I am visiting

boardsilly05
3 months ago

I recently bought an Edge 1040. I am currently visiting Spain and would like to load a suitable cycling map to the device. When I follow links to purchase a cycling map for Europe the page says "Edge® 540/840/1030 Plus/1040/1050/Explore 2 Series devices do not require purchase for Garmin Cycle Maps and offer free map swaps and updates via Garmin Express".

But when I go into Garmin Express I see no way to do this.

Without a map the 1040 cannot re-route me when I get lost (pops up a message saying route calculation error), I basically have just a breadcrumb trail. I am riding quite back-country trails which are sometimes blocked so this is quite important to me right now!

    The Edge 1040 comes with world wide coverage of the Garmin Cycle Maps. Depending on where you bought the unit, the maps for your region/continent are already installed. For example when bought in Europe, the unit contains Cycle Maps for the whole of Europe.

    If you need to install maps for a different region, or want to reinstall maps for your current region, see the instructions at support.garmin.com/.../
