I'd like to put my os maps that I used on my edge 810 on the edge 820 my wife bought me for my birthday.
How do I go about installing them?
Hopefully one of you beautys can help?
Cheers!
Skip to 2.30mins in after you have installed the sd card 🙂
But the Edge 820 doesn't have a MicroSD slot.
If you have bought the maps as a download or on DVD, they will be locked to your old Garmin. So they won't work on the new one.
To get maps on the 820 you connect it to a pc, it'll show up as external storage and then you save the map file in the GARMIN folder.
^that's what I do on my 800 if downloading OSM maps for European tours.
It's true the os map is locked to the 810. I spent three hours downloading it to an 820 last week to find this out.
It depends on how you bought it, I think. My OS maps were on a micro SD card.
Slight hijack, but where does everyone reckon the best OSM maps are these days?
I put the os maps on my 820 but it ran so slow I went back to OSM
I'm using the talkytoaster ones, only put them on a few days ago so can't comment on those but I'm sure I've had the same ones on my 800 for years with no complaints.
Very good OSM maps last time I used them.
I like these but they only update the UK map annually. Its hence missing lots of stuff (including some I've added to OSM myself)
Talky toaster here ,did have OS maps on the Garmin 800 that resides up Coniston somewhere. TT maps work just as well and more importantly quite free 🙂
