TopoActive Europe 2019.10 released

Former Member over 6 years ago

A few days ago I got TopoActive Europe 2019.10 offered for installation.

From looking at the data, it definitely isn't "2019". Changes I made in OpenStreetMap in December 2018 aren't there. Sadly, I didn't make any changes that would show up on the map back until April 2019 - and THOSE are there.

I deleted all Garmin maps and loaded only the OSM/topo maps I need. Loading is fast now. In my region of western Europe OSM has much more details than Garmin so I'm happy!

Isn’t the UK on the South West map? So no wonder, that you cannot see detailed map data...

Hi,

gmapbmap.img is de garmin basic (base) map. I would leave it, its small.

gmapdem.img is the digital elevation map that complements

gmapprom.img which is the main map for your region.

You can back them…

There's some weird bugs it seems with GE on the Mac at the moment (Mac user here) - have you got access to a Windows PC you could use GE on (even just install it temporarily there) and try that

I have exactly the same issue. The original maps on the watch, had lots of details. with 2019.10 I can see only major streets (in yellow) and thats it. London based.

I still have this and I can't fix it, maps and now useless. Im in Leeds UK.

Is your local map activated in your watch?

But:
Please, write to the Garmin support! When we solve our problems by ourselves here in the community, Garmin will never make better products/software.

Just to be sure: have you enabled the TopoActiveMap South West and zoomed in?

It would be nice if in this case the watch shows a message that there is no detailed map available... maybe worth to implement?
Also, it would be nice if Garmin Express showed actually North/East and Sout/west, and if there would be an information, what each of the maps contains.
