Thread: Great Britain Discoverer National Parks 1:25k Lake District-Brecon Beacons-Peak District

Cheers Mordorf

Lake District map works fine on my Oregon 450t. Went for a low level walk today in the miserable rain and wind around Nether Wasdale and it's great. Far better than the 1:50k for this neck of the woods. As you state though it only cuts into the 25k map when you zoom to 500ft. Does anyone know any way round this? Not a major downer but otherwise fantastic.

I've now discovered how to make my own maps in the JNX format which are much, much better than the Garmin ones. I have configured the zoom levels to suit my requirements, the maps are clearer and seem to load quicker. The only down side is the size, the Lake District map is 2.44GB as against 396MB for the Garmin Discoverer but this does contain both 1:50K and 1:25K mapping. I can have any area I like, all for just a little bit of my time. For anyone interested I use the below software to achieve this.

Mobile Atlas Creator (use Multimap OS maps and save as Oziexplorer format)

You do need to use hacked firmware but I have not found any adverse effects to this. The hacked firmware is linked in the initial post of this thread.
