Free Garmin Maps Support for Hiking
There’s a way to get free Garmin GPS maps
if you own a Garmin GPS device. Sometimes, the free maps are way better than
the expensive Garmin maps. The most disappointing thing in Garmin is that they
charge extra for maps.
There are a lot of ways to get free Garmin
GPS maps, and also there are a lot of different methods t install them. The
free hiking maps are great because they have a huge number of hiking trials and
you can use free tools like Garmin Base Camp to automatically create routs and
tracks that you can follow also there are good topographic maps with elevation
contours.
Downloading the Free Garmin GPS maps
The first thing you are going to do is to
visit the GMapTool.com website and then pick the region you want, and start
downloading the appropriate package of the map. This downloading may take a
while as these files are pretty big.

Installing the free map on your GarminGPS
You are all set to install them on your GPS
unit once your map is downloaded and installed.
- Connect your Garmin GPS to your computer and turn it on. Let it load and register with the computer.
- Load the Garmin Map Install application. It will show your GPS device in the box and then hit continue.
- Map Install application will show you what’s on your computer, what maps you have already installed and at the bottom how much room you have on your device.
- Simply click on the map you want to install, after selecting the appropriate map click “send maps”.
- It can take a while for the maps to load onto your device. Do not rush.
- Once the maps are loaded go to the settings for maps and poke around. The different units have a different process.
- If there is too much detail or the map rendering seems slow, then go to settings again and try to decrease the detail level and enjoy the maps on your Garmin.
Lastly, if these free Garmin GPS maps do
not work for you, then there are other free maps for your Garmin GPS, they
might have different instructions for installation. If you want to grab a
smaller or more specific map then go for garmingpsupdate.
If you still face any technical issues then
you can easily reach Technical Support for Garmin or Technical Support for
Global Positioning System (GPS).
