BBBIKE Extract and Garmin 800

Kungur 3 days ago

Hopefully someone can help me out with this challenge!

In the past I have used BBBIke Extract to get European maps for our Garmin 800 . But it has been a while and now I may have forgotten a step or 2.

So can get the map downloaded and unzipped but when I try to get it to the micro SD card it seems to be on it but it doesn't show up on the Garmin.

Looking forward to your help! Thank!!

Is it the “Garmin (Latin1)” format extract?

After a number of tries I got it! But since the maps that BBBIKE extract are max 1500mgb and I need 3 or 4 areas. Is there a way to put them all on 1 micro SD card? Or do I need a separate card for each map?

I think DC Rainmaker or GPLAMA cover this in their articles / videos, its been years since I viewed them. The different maps will need different names, I have several BBBike maps on my 1040 / 530 (but these are in the /Garmin directory not a SD card which they don't have.

Would be better if you didn't spread your requests over multiple posts in different forum sections

PS Also, garmin does not like overlapping enabled maps so only have one map enabled if there is a chance they overlap
