+Jerenemas Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Next year in the summerholidays we decided to go to Dubrovnik. There are some geocaches around and it would be fun to log a couple. Bosnia Herzegovina is just around the corner as is Kosovo. I read in previous messages that it might be possible to download those maps free. I have tried to find these downloads for free topomaps of Croatia, Bosnia en Kosovo, but I can't find any proper links where I can download those maps. Can anyone help me? Thank you Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Maybe you were thinking of OpenStreetMaps rather than Topo maps? if so you can get pretty much anywhere in the world from here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ Quote
+Jerenemas Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Thank You Martybartfast, for your fast answer. I already looked at that website/link, but it seemed to be not a very detailed map. But I am but a newcomer in geocachingland, esp when it comes down to downloading free maps. We purchased the maps for the UK/Ireland, Benelux and Germany. But since we will only go to Dubrovnik for 10 days it seems a waste of a lot of money to buy maps over 150 Euros. But if you say those maps are detailed enough to use for geocaching, we will use them. Thank you again Quote
+speakers-corner Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 go to the following link and download the Italy/Adria maps. They are free. There are also other countries there all very good. Ive used the maps for the Canary Ilses. http://www.wanderreitkarte.de/garmin_de.php Quote
+Jerenemas Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Thank you Speakers Corner, I have already downloaded them, but I think I need un unlock code of such. When I put the unzipped data on a micro SD card in my Oregon 450, it did not work. Maybe I ve done something wrong. Like I said, I am a first-tryer... Edited November 17, 2013 by Jerenemas Quote
BOBBLES WORLD TOUR Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 You MUST unzip 1st. "Simply download the file you are interested in [which is a zip file], unzip it, and save the unzipped file as GMAPSUPP.IMG and then upload it to your gps micro SD card.You MUST create a folder on your SD card named "GARMIN" 1st. Simples and it works A TREAT. Quote

+talkytoaster Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Hi, Next year in the summerholidays we decided to go to Dubrovnik. There are some geocaches around and it would be fun to log a couple. Bosnia Herzegovina is just around the corner as is Kosovo. I read in previous messages that it might be possible to download those maps free. I have tried to find these downloads for free topomaps of Croatia, Bosnia en Kosovo, but I can't find any proper links where I can download those maps. Can anyone help me? Thank you I compile and offer maps for Croatia (and many other countries) complete with contours. These are available for a small fee and come with full support and are available either as self install electronic download or on a pre-loaed and tested 'plug n play' MicroSD card; simply insert and turn on the device. More details can be found on my site at http://talkytoaster.co.uk/order.htm Regards, Martin Quote
