Maps
of Spain for Garmin units
These maps are based on open mapping data prepared by CNIG. They are highly detailed with every building (and its swimming pool!) watercourses, roads, tracks and woodlands and cultivated areas.. The data is supplemented by tracks and footpaths from Open Street Map together with selected points of interest (bars, hotels, campsites, etc). The maps are downloadable immediately after purchase and tthe download contains a .img file that can be copied directly to the device and a GMAP folder that can be used with Garmin's Basecamp software. Instructions are in a 'Readme' file. The format of the source data is not suitable for making these maps routable but they contains a searchable index of places and addresses.

The
map is available in two formats that are both in the download. The
'GMAP' format is the Garmin format
that works with Basecamp on both PC's and Mac's. Basecamp can then be
used to transfer some or all of the map to a Garmin unit. The map can
be used in Basecamp whether the Garmin device is attached or not. The
'IMG' format is copied to the Garmin folder of a memory card and
inserted into the Garmin device. Basecamp can access the map only when
the device is attached and it will be slower. The IMG format can also
be used with smartphone apps such as Orux and
applications such as
QMAPSHACK
