IMAGE FILE User Guide: #
When would you need an image file? #
- when you are experiencing problems with BASECAMP/MapSource and the transferring of maps from these applications to your GPS unit.
- you would prefer to copy a file directly from your PC, to your Garmin GPS unit, without going via free Garmin Software, like BASECAMP etc.
- when there are general problems installing the maps to the particular GPS unit.
- you are experiencing problems transferring GPS maps to your Garmin GPS unit, via Garmin software like BASECAMP or MapInstall. Eg. Garmin Overlander
- you are using a newer model Garmin GPS unit, with an Android Operating System – and you have a MAC computer…you will need an img file to load your maps.

New Mapping Style for Garmin GPS units: #
In September 2024 we released a new mapping style. Our new map style is by far superior to the old style (on a GPS).
Although our new style has been well received by our users, a few people still prefer to use the old style on BASECAMP when doing Trip Planning. It is possible to therefore install the old style onto your PC/MAC for that purpose.
(Note that the old style can still be transferred to your Garmin GPS unit – but we strongly advise you use our new style on your Garmin GPS, its much better!)
Old Style as it appears on BASECAMP – pre version 24.10:
New Style as it appears on BASECAMP – post version 24.10:
The new style differentiates between road types visually with different colours, equivalent to our online map.
