I am in the US and planning this winter to go ski in the alps. My watch says that ski maps are installed but are they just the US Ski maps ? Do i need to purchase the Europe maps ?
Thanks

Assuming you own a Fenix 6 Pro series watch with mapping on it, your Ski Maps are worldwide.

Got 18gb left on the watch. Looks like Europe is 10 gb. Should be good I guess. The 6 pro has 32 gb if I recall.
Correct. Use your same Garmin account your watch is registered to/being used with Garmin Connect then download the new map to your watch through your Garmin Express > Tools & Content > Purchased…

Thank you. Yes i have the pro and the resort i going is in the list. I added the ski option in my activity. When I start the ski workout when I am there, it is going to detect th Ed right place via gps or do I need to pick it from a list. Right now i am in south Carolina and it looks like i cannot pick anything. When I click options and maps, i see skiview maps.
When you acquire GPS at that location, your watch will pull up the Ski Resort. The same applies if you Golf as another example. IE: if you open your Golf APP now and acquire GPS, you will see your nearest courses to choose from if you were about to Golf. Ski Resorts will behave in the same manner to ensure you are using the correct Ski Resort.
Cool. Awesome. I thought i had to buy the European maps. Glad i asked.
On the topic of maps, for everyone that will come across this thread, on the Fenix 6 Pro series, your watch comes with a TopoActive map for the region it was bought in. If you travel outside of your region, there are other TopoActive maps that be purchased and installed to your watch.
- Your Golf maps and Ski Resort maps are worldwide.
Thanks. If I buy the Europe maps, does the watch select the correct map automatically or do I have to switch between continents?
Best to double check your watch if you add another map later. If you were to buy the Europe TopoActive map, you likely will not even have enough room for that map along with your North America TopoActive map. If you copy your map off your watch and copy it back it will continue working the same. Garmin Express will be used to update your TopoActive map or download a newly purchased map to your watch.
To see your maps, or enable/disable them, you will go to your Map > Map Settings > Map > Configure Maps menu.
