Thread: Garmin GB Discoverer 1:50K - Full Coverage (2.00)

It's called Garmin Discoverer 50K All v2.00. So I started zoomimg on the map. But didn't matter how far I zoomed I never saw real topo images. I kept zooming in on the second level map, never got to the tiles with image info like you see in post #1. BTW detail is on "high" and viewing only 2D mode. "Only basemap" is unchecked.

Also when selecting this map I got the message it wasn't printable, big deal but just mentioning it to check if this is normal and not part of the problem

What's the problem?

Most Garmin maps have printing restrictions due to copyright protection. That could be seen in both BaseCamp and HomePort.

The GB Discoverer map should shift to different raster layers in BaseCamp depending on map detail level and zoom level.



Map detail = High | Zoom = 15 km



Map detail = High | Zoom = 3 km



Map detail = High | Zoom = 700 m
