General
For proper Tracklogs so that you can upload your tracks to openstreetmap - please disable "lock on road" and enable "save tracklog to SD card" on units that have a SD card..... To find out how to set this up please google, or download the helpfile for your Garmin unit.
Garmin Edge devices:
Please enable classic layout in the map settings on the device. Otherwise you will have wrong colours.
, select a profile, and select
- Classic: This shows the OpenMTBMaps / VeloMaps as intended, however POI are now shown from Edge profile.
- High Contrast: Complete fuckup by Garmin - because they are not able to make their own maps high contrast in first place.
- Mountain Biking: Complete fuckup by Garmin - because they are not able to make their own maps high contrast in first place.
Compatibility - Unicode vs Non Unicode (cannot authenticate maps)
Unicode is needed to display several alphabets in one map. Non Unicode maps can only display a single alphabet - e.g. kyrillic and latin - but not both. However Garmin blocked using Unicode maps in part of a broken copyright protection on newer GPS device series.
Newer Garmin devices cannot use free unicode maps (except if you hack the firmware) - usually a "cannot authenticate maps" message which show on boot. The following Garmin outdoor devices are affected:
- All Garmin devices presented 2016 or newer
- Edge 1000
- Epix
- Etrex 20x / 30x (not "etrex 30")
- Etrex Touch 25/35
- GPS Maps 64 series
- Montana 610, 680
- Oregon 700,750
- Some recent Nuvi devices - as well as some super old devices that do not support Unicode. (E.g. Garmin Vista C, GPS Maps 60 C)
you will need to download the "Non Unicode" version of the map. Only maps of regions where several different scripts are used - are in unicode. I've listed the non unicode maps however also unter the unicode header for convenience (actually only maps with (unicode ) following their name are actually in unicode.
Also english version of maps is only available for countries/regions not using latin only.
Autorouting options in detail:
Using the different vehicle options (like taxi or emergency) allows you to finetune the routing (which streets to include / exclude)

Ich habe ein gpsmap 66st und kan nur adresse einstellen und daß gerät macht automatisch eine strecke. Wenn ich aber nur ein stadt versuche ein zu geben lauft daß gerät fest, was konnte die ursache sein?
danke wim
Zu weit entfernt? Siehe auch hier: https://www.velomap.org/de/velomaporg/autorouting/
Oder passiert es schon bei der Eingabe des Namens – also vor klicken auf routen?
Sind evtl mehrere routingfähige Karten derselben Gegend auf dem Gerät vorhanden? Das führt schnell zu Problemen bei Suche/Autorouting.
Evtl sind noch weitere Karte auf dem Gerät mit Suchfunktion? Die Stadt wird dann evtl in anderer Karte gefunden als jene die fürs Routing genommen wird. Deaktivieren reicht dann nicht aus – die Karte muss vom Gerät entfernt werden. Andere Möglichkeit – Distanz zu weit weg.
Danke, lauft super, einfach zuviel karten mit autorouting drauf. Danke füt die muhe, ich bin froh damit.
