Lack of details on "Topo" map in iOS Explore vs. Explore Website

8259601

Here's an example of the map detail I see in explore.garmin.com/Map  - this location is Cuyamaca Peak in San Diego County:

Compared to the detail I see inside the Explore iOS app 

There is just a ton more detail in the Web map vs. the iOS map.

Is this something that I can fix?  Is this lack of detail something that https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/893561/ improves?

    Outdoor Maps+ will give you additional map layers on top of the default TopoActive maps in Explore app (and on a compatible Garmin device). Note that Explore web uses different mapping and is not compatible with Outdoor Maps+.

    As for an example of what the map in Explore app looks like with Outdoor Maps+ layers turned on, see this screenshot:


    This is with additional layers for buildings, tree species, contour lines and contour shading.

    Thank you for that example.  There's more detail in what you are showing, but I still like the Web version best of all (one detail: it clearly shows that the trail to the peak is actually a paved road, vs. just a trail).   

    It's confusing with all these map options which differ between mobile and web versions.
