seldom_sn Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 How do I get maps fir the Oregon 550 for Canada and US without paying Garmins $$$$$? Failing that what are the best maps to get? Free topo for US from GPSfiledepot.com Ibycus topo for Canada. Don't know how that's distributed. Routable of the whole world from garmin.openstreetmap.nl. These maps have routable trails, but no topo AFAIK. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Ibycus Topo has to be downloaded through a torrent, but it's a very good map. Looks like there will be a new version coming out soon as well: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=294909 Quote Link to comment
+Team Pixos Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Ummm what's AFAIK? Having issues with ibycus Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 GPSfiledepot.com is a good place to start....I have most of the Southeastern U.S. on my Oregon 550....I'm sure buying Garmin's maps makes it a lot easier because the software will walk you through the installation process (I would think) as there's a little bit of a learning curve about getting the maps installed on the unit, but once you get the hang of it's not bad. The maps are plenty decent enough for Geocaching. Quote Link to comment
