How to get full contour detailed maps on the Fenix 5x

Before buying maps (which anyway are based on OSM) why not try out TOPO maps made available for free, for instance here:

http://garmin.opentopomap.org/

They work perfectly on my F5X, plenty of details, and I really see no need for any other maps.

I have opentopo and talkytoaster UK maps on my F5X. The latter are the dogs b**x.

Will, would I be correct in asssuming you downloaded the "Mapsets For Use With Garmin GPSrs and BaseCamp – Routable+Contours" from talkytoaster?

Yes, but all work (I assume) so select whichever suits your purpose. As well as getting contours the colours are superb--did a ThamesPath Walk this week and the river was a fabulos blue on the map--many admiring glances from fellow walkers.

Will, thanks for that. Now downloaded and on watch.

For walking / hiking, which maps do you have turned on ?

Just the talkytoaster map.

Because they don't include detailed elevation and contours which lots of people want especially walkers

There are various possibilities. Poland/Slovakia mountains. The best map - specially prepared for walks with Fenix 5X :p :D

See here for full listings by World, Region, Country. See descriptions for what is included. Many but not all have contours.

These don't have contour maps

:confused:

It is a complete map. With contour lines. :)
I know, I am an author of this map :p
