Hi, only started recently and am hooked. Was using app on phone but decided to get GPS so I treated myself to a Garmin 64S Handheld GPS with TOPO UK/Ireland Light Map, Barometric Altimeter and 3 Axis Compass. So do I need to get more maps? And if so how much are they and where from? (It's getting delivered today and I'm excited) thanks

Hi Fairby

 

This is what you want: http://talkytoaster.co.uk/maps/

 

Full OSM mapsets for Garmin GPSrs including your 64s.

 

The included TOPO maps are extremely basic (trunk roads only) and really not much use. (They're also comically wrong - Torbay has railtracks extending some considerable distance into the sea!)

 

Full instructions on the site, but download, unzip, copy into the \Garmin folder on the GPS and off you go.
