There is a new version as of 14-04-2011

Free translation from German:

There is another set of new Garmin maps. Once again there was a problem with the old tool for contour lines, I have now switched to a proprietary implementation. If someone discovers strange contours, please let me know. The separate map of Germany now only partially contains Czech Republic because it is grown out of a 2GB card. New is the map Germany-North Denmark, Netherlands and Belgium.

If you want to take a look at this free map before downloading 3GB, there is an online version here:

Hi Caty,

Thanks for this.
I have one question, does anyone know if these are routable?
Also if they have DEM ?

Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Mathos.

Mapperoni · 14th May 2011, 02:23 PM

This map doesn't contain DEM and is not routeable.

Mapperoni · 15th May 2011, 11:39 AM

There is now a separate map containing these isles: Azores, Canary Islands, Madeira, Mallorca, Corsica and Sardinia.
Corsica and Sardinia are already on the complete map, the others are new.

Hello is there a similar product (hiking) that covers UK?

Mapperoni · 16th May 2011, 10:24 AM

I don't think a specific UK hiking map exists but you can use the excellent Garmin GB Discoverer 25K and 50k maps!

Hello,
I tried the Wanderkarte (complete Middle Europe, > 3GB, downloaded 2 days ago) as an image with BaseCamp, but the map was not accepted (no valid Garmin map or similar reaction).
Is there a solution to this problem? When installed in MapSource the map is working both in MS and BC, but it is very slow. I didn't try it in my Garmin device till now.

@qrumba

Have you checked that the MS flag (MapSource flag) is 0 in the IMG-file?
Files created with MapSource / MapInstall will get MS flag = 1. BaseCamp needs MS flag = 0 when reading memory card IMG files.

Example with MS flag = 1

Code:

Check the IMG-file with gMapTool. If MS=1 then change that with gMapTool. Enable "☑ Advanced options" and then use "Write" tab and "☑ Set version in header" -> "MS 0".

@Ballebar

Yes, MS flag is 0 in IMG-file - this was the first I checked.
When starting BaseCamp the progression bar for Wanderkarte is red and it stays red till the message comes, that it is not a valid Garmin chart. BaseCamp works some seconds (~ half minute) for this.
I have many other charts on virtual floppy drive working with BaseCamp very well.
I will try it with other 'Wander- & Reitkarten' - maybe it works with 'Inselkarte' and report results here.
