Hi, So may be I am not doing it right or there is a bug in the watch Fenix 6 pro
I am trying to install new openstreet map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ using the instructions available at "https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/08/how-to-installing-free-maps-on-your-garmin-fenix-5-plus-forerunner-945-or-marq-series-watch.html"
Instructions are pretty simple there so no issue as such. but this time all i wanted was a simple and clean install for maps and freeup space in Garmin to add more songs to my collection. while only keeping the country and city maps that I need for routing. I am not a avid skiier so all those worldwide skii maps were not making sense to me and consuming space on watch. I had tried adding openstreet maps earlier in addition to the factory installed maps but faced issue that some of those newly added maps wouldn't show up in Map configuration toggle window under Map activity so no way to choose or activate them so I thought that there could be an upper limit to what watch could display for toggle and that is where I thought of just keeping the maps I use often- smaller city maps (from openstreet) and one giant country map from Garmin express to make efficient use of the space available.
So I removed all the map (disk IMG and corresponding SUM files) files from GARMIN folder kept them safe in my laptop and then moved 2 img files for different cities i downloaded from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ to GARMIN folder and checked. I could see both the files showing up in MAP>>MAP SETTING>> CONFIGURATION > (This is where you choose/toggle which maps you want to keep active). All good so far. Now all I needed was the Garmin TOPO map for the country.
Then i used Garmin Express to do a fresh usual re/install of the map I need..however, even though I can see .img and SUM files available in GARMIN directory, these Garmin express maps are not available in toggle window due to some reason and therefore I cannot toggle them on or off. I have tried resetting the watch, i have restarted the watch but still the Garmin express maps are not being shown in the toggle window.
So in a nutshell, even if I add openstreet maps to existing garmin set of add garmin map post installing Open street maps the toggle screen displays only some maps of its liking.. what am i doing wrong?
