I have a lot of 25K memory map, maps on my PC, but was told that for example Garmin does only takes the routes and waypoints, but I can't download OS memory maps to a Garmin device. The cheapest Memory map GPS which would take the maps is £400 - a bit too much for my budget.
Does anyone know of a device to which I can download my old memory OS maps? I use the GPS only for the maps, so I am a bit at loss what to do.
If all fails does anyone have a recommendation for a GPS?
Many thanks!!!
Yes you will struggle finding a GPX to run your M Maps! These that will run them are Memory maps sell GPS,s made by Magellan I think.
Although there is one Garmin model that will run them. The Garmin Monterra Rugged Handheld GPS with Android Operating. Although not cheap £400+. I bought one but sent it back due to not being able to fit MMaps 1:50k full mapping on it only parts of the UK
I would invest in a Garmin and use either there own paid for mapping or use free mapping if you search around.
Depending how old your MM mapping is you could put it onto an Andiod or Ios smartphone. But it is a complicated procedure not recommended for the fainthearted due to certain limitations.
Although MM now have a completely different system to latter years. There more recent mapping is easily downloaded to a phone.
Has for only using a phone nowadays give me a dedicated GPS everytime.
