Its not possible to select TOPO PRO maps as layer on Fenix 8

Petr 9 months ago

Hello, i am having issue that i can not select Topo PRO map as map layer on Garmin Fenix 8.

Only TopoActive and Basic maps are avialable. The PRO map is installed on device, but not selectable as layer.

Is it bug or I'am doing something wrong?

FW budle: 11.60

Maps+ are paid Garmin Service.... yes... I have paid for a service I cannot use, although compatibility is advertised as working.

You must be kidding Laurie. I bet that if you have Fenix 8 watch by ourself you can see that this does not work? For me this has not been working since I started using my watch. Also I bought Outdoor+…

Hi it is known limitation, search forum for more topics but it is what it is today. no way to select 3rd party map even is visible in MAP manager.

i thought they are paid, pair watch to WIFI and it will prompt you to pay subscription..

I have a subscription ;-), you can select the layers such as buildings, HD shading, etc..and the work, but when you select the topo pro map as layer you will only see the basemap. But anyhow I think it's more or less the same issue as with the 3rd party maps. Let's wait for a fix.
