One step further is to make on your PC a virtual drive that the PC sees as a USB drive. With a fast USB 3.1 stick and 3.1 port this moves things along much quicker. Now plug in the USB card in your PC and BaseCamp now finds the map on the USB drive with no GPS presnt. Take a fast USB drive and copy the 276CX SD card onto the USB drive. Working in Basecamp you actually get the maps from your GPS as you go along. In order to use the Garmin Europe map on your PC in Basecamp you have to connect the GPS, since Garmin in their infinite wisdom won't allow downloading the map to your computer. I will report back.īTW and side issue: I downloaded the Europe map from Garmin instead of buying their SD card.
Will it route within the GPS across the map split? I hope to find out, but I will be ready with the same route split in parts. I will be in Europe in a month, so I want to see what happens in the 276CX with a route that crosses the map split. Right now I split the BaseCamp routes where it crosses the map split and down load them to the GPS. (BTW my "found" Europe map now works in Mapsource as well, Bonus.) So I use my bought split Europe map in the GPS. That version wont work in the 276CX, it has some sort of protection scheme built into the GPS. I use it in Basecamp so at least I can route plan across all countries. In the mean time I "found" a current Europe map that covers all in one mapset. He passed it on to the Garmin Europe map guys. Of course, as expected, he is not a in a position fix things. Garmin has some very capable people, it is just hard to find them. After several calls I eventually talked to a guy who actually immediately understood and appreciated the issue. I will call Garmin Monday and see if they will give me my money back, but since i downloaded the map I expect them to refuse.
#Garmin basecamp europe how to
Unfortunately is not being updated anymore and I haven't been able to generate routable Garmin maps from the OSM website (anybody have good directions on how to do that?) I need to go back to using the 2018 maps. Maybe I am missing something, but it seems incredibly stupid and cumbersome. Then bring the routes to the 2022 map set and recalculate each route again. It crosses the two map sets and it will not recalculate.Ī workaround is to do the routing in the 2018 map, go to the map set crossing points, add way points and break the route in two. I put a 10 mile route across the BE - Fr border with the 2018 maps, imported it into my 276CX. For instance when in France I can not say get me the shortest route to Rotterdam, since they are on different map sets. This means you will have to manually do the routing before splitting your route. You will have to make one route to the border and then another route from the border to your destination on the other map set. The two map sets don't even match up to each other. The map with Brussels does not know where Paris is or vice-versa. For instance, no routing from Brussels to Paris. If you go from one map set to the other it will not route across the two map set boundaries. Garmin Europe is now split in two map sets. It looks like Garmin really screwed things up, badly.
#Garmin basecamp europe update
This week I decided to buy an update for an upcoming trip.
For the last 4 years I have been using Garmin 2018 Europe maps.
