Impacts on Maps selection on the device

Hi all,

I'm wondering if i'm using the right maps configuration. I have a Fenix 5 Plus (and I'm new to garmin).
In Acrtivity Settings - MAP - Configure Map, I have three different options:
1- Worldwide DEM Basemap, NR
2- TopoActivee Europe East 2017.30
3- TopoActive Europe West 2017.30

They all come toggled on. Does the watch overlaps them and combine the trails that come from each to create the best map possible? Looks fancy.

Which one should I have selected?

I've tested toggling them on and off during an Hike and i've seen no diferences...

Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Leave them all toggled on. First of all, there is no overlap between East and West. Secondly the Basemap is the entire planet, extremely sparse, and is only used visually at certain zoom levels.

    Thanks a lot for your time, first of all.
    Ok, so I don't need to worry weather I'm viewing or not the best map data possible (considering what comes bundled with the watch)? Right?
    No trails will be hidden or something like that.
    Thanks
