My 5x comes Thursday and I've got a bike race in rural Iowa shortly after. I'd like to have some additional maps prepared for when it comes that I can just quickly add when my watch syncs for the first time, so that I can test them a bit prior to the race.
These roads are out there, many of them not well known or even marked in places, and some are what we would call "farm roads" like minimum maintainence dirt and what essentially might be deemed "tractor tire singletrack" to people not from around these parts.
Anyways, as awesome as I'm sure Garmin basemaps pre loaded are, I'd like to have more detailed regional ones on there just in case.
So what steps do I need to go through to get these maps and how do I load them onto my new watch.
I currently don't have a Garmin with maps of any kind, so this is all new, so talk to me like I'm an idiot;) Because I seriously have zero idea of the awesomeness I'm about to get into!
Can't wait until Thursday, so I might as well get gathering some maps!
Any Iowa & Nebraska detailed map recs? I'd appreciate it! Thanks fellow 5x peeps!
