Free user-generated U.S. And international mapsUPDATE: Here’s a on your Garmin GPS.This was originally intended as a follow up to my post. Yet those sticking closer to home should investigate this too — the sources below include road maps of U.S. Cities and some very nice topo maps of greater detail than you can find elsewhere. The image below is from a.Besides being free, these maps are often available for areas not covered by Garmin and other commercial providers. Unfortunately though, turn-by-turn routing is less likely to be found with these maps.One other thing before we get to sources of these maps — they utilize the Garmin.img format, and will require some special techniques for loading them to your unit. More on that.Sources of free maps for your Garmin GPSHere are the best places to start looking for these maps:.

Rich, it is getting worse I installed the morocco.poi.gpx.zip file and extracted it directly into the the POI folder in the main Garmin folder.Now my device doesn’t start at all, I even can’t access any more its contents when connected to the PC since it doesn’t start too!!!All what I see (when pressing on) is the “GARMIN” logo then it turns off after trying unsuccessfully with “loading the map”!!!I tried many times in vain!Please, can my device be restored to its functional configuration (without the extracted file that crashed it?Thx,Yassine. This is not exactly on this topic, but related: I have paid for the Garmin lifetime maps for my Nuvi 200w, but what a PAIN it is getting the updates.It seems that with every quarterly update, I have to update to the latest version of.Net, and that is a mess with unreliable updates (see ), besides having to keep a PC updated with Windows (XP) just to use it safely on the ‘Net (I don’t need Windows for much of anything else – Linux suits about all the rest of my personal PC needs). So now I have a PC with.Net 2.x, 3.x, and installing 4 as I type (on my main Linux PC), and probably have several MORE reboots to go to get to the object of this exercise, new maps.Is this really necessary for just downloading their map file(s) once a quarter, and extracting the region-specific subsets? Is there some manual way to do this with some archive manager type software (lots on Linux to choose from)? Are Tom-Tom and Magellan as restrictive and convoluted about this process for their map updates?TIA,RO.

Unfortunately, your life is going to get more and more difficult using Windows XP. It’s old software and the world is moving on. I “get” the whole linux thing – I was using BSD unix on a VAX 11/750 back in 1985, have been a sysadmin, hand-write c and html code with vi, etc. I primarily use Macs which are BSD unix at the core.But Windows 7 is the latest and greatest and that’s where things are heading. You could always get a cheap netbook with Win 7 and use that for your map updates, or even a Mac. Well, I have another PC with Win7 (maybe try that one next quarter), but that’s not the issue.

I seriously doubt the process is much different since the dot-Net 4 framework, and code using it should work about the same on Win7 as on XP. With either version my gripe is about having to use any sort of Windoze once a quarter along with all the time it takes for downloading/verifying/”installing” to PC storage since the 200w does not have enough internal storage). So far I have spent an hour or more with that, and still have not gotten to the final part of actually running the program to pick and choose the map “segments” to put on internal storage and SD card (gotta review the docs for that as usual each quarter).You would think with all that “cutting edge” dot-Net programming power Garmin could figure out how to examine the current distribution of map segments on the internal storage and mounted SD card, and just refresh with the updated equivalents, but no, I need to spend more time doing that really “complex” bit myself. Seems like this is a lot of complexity and human time involved for doing something a program should be capable of doing for us – isn’t’ that the idea of programming?They could make it much more platform-neutral with Java if they want to keep secret (more like obscured) their proprietary little code tricks to verify that you are legitimately entitled to the update (where I suspect most of the coding effort is expended).

Then I could run the Java applet on Windoze or Linux (with the correct JRE, which I would likely use for other apps, also).BSD on VAX? That’s cool – I was a VMS DEC VAX admin for a while in the mid-90’s, and started a migration for the app to DEC-Unix on an Alpha. Then I went on to Solaris and web admin’ing, work as a “step up”. I have used Windoze all along for desktop usage since Win 3.0 days, but I got over the gee whiz factor fairly quickly after picking up on OS/2, and Linux.

I like to leave my Windoze use at work for my work PC, and have fun with a more flexible OS environment for personal use 😉. I’ve got a Garmin Nuvi 205W. I’m traveling to Costa Rica for vacation in March and I’d like to download the maps for Costa Rica. Do you know where I can go to get free maps of Costa Rica? How exactly will the maps work after I upload them to my Garmin? Will the unit work the same as it does when I use it in the US (show my speed, give my location, provide turn by turn directions, include waypoints and Points of Interest, etc.)?I’ve heard that it’s necessary to rent a GPS, but I’d rather not pony up an extra $100 if I can avoid it.

Nolan Browning/Digital TrendsIf you’re sick at yelling at Siri or pulling over to search for an address, an onboard GPS unit is wildly useful. Simply say where you want to go and boom, you’re well on your way. However, your Garmin device needs to have a current list of all mapped roads and highways in order to be effective. We’ve all heard of a scenario where your GPS starts taking you down a dark road that twists and turns until you find yourself at a dead end.Streets and routes change constantly and if you don’t keep your GPS current, you’re bound to be that person sitting in the middle of nowhere cursing at your dashboard. Fortunately, keeping your GPS unit updated is easy, especially with Garmin’s Express software which essentially reduces it to plugging the device into your computer and letting the software work its magic. You can use Express whether you’ve got a, or any other model in Garmin’s lineup. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide on how to update a Garmin GPS.

Step 1: Connect your device to your computerBefore beginning the update, you’ll to connect your Garmin GPS device to a computer. To do this, remove it from your car, truck, or motorcycle and make sure the device is powered on. Using a mini USB cable, hook the GPS to your laptop and wait while the progress bar scrolls.

If you’ve connected the device before, prompts should begin automatically. If it’s your first time, you may need to manually sign in to your before starting. Step 2: Install Garmin ExpressNext, you’ll need to make sure is installed on your computer by navigating to the and selecting either “Download for Windows” or “Download for Mac.” Once the appropriate file downloads, click the install button and follow the on-screen prompts. As mentioned above, Garmin Express works with all GPS units including Drive, DriveSafe, Nuvi, and Zumo.

Step 3: Access or purchase updatesNow it’s time to install your updates. If Garmin Express hasn’t already opened on your computer after installing, select it and make sure your internet connection is working properly.

Click “Add a Device” and locate your GPS. The app will search for any available updates and offer you a list. Click “Select All” and keep your device connected while the updates install.

Once complete, you’ll have all available apps that are either free or came standard with your device. If you didn’t purchase lifetime updates, you may need to purchase them at this time.
