Hi travellers, bit of a newbie here with GPS. Can anyone tell me how to if possible load Exploroz maps on to a Garmin Overlander ?
Thanks Mick.

Hello - not possible - totally different system. Exploroz maps can only be used on
Exploroz Traveller, and no other maps can be used in
Exploroz Traveller except the ones supplied. Not sure what other maps maybe available for the Overlander from other sources. Some people found
Shonkymaps handy for some Garmin devices but that was years ago...not sure it still works with newer Garmins.
Cheers Greg

Agreed..
The Exploreoz maps are only compatible with the Traveller App and is designed to used on either Apple or Android mobile devices.
The best you could do..is get the model of Garmin device you are using...and
check its' specs to see what type of mapping format that is compatible with it..
Garmin have their own system and
check their own website named Garmin Explore and I believe it has maps you can download from there.

check if they work with the garmin though.

Hello
None of those maps will work directly with a Garmin gps unit. They are raster format not directly compatible with Garmin units. It is possible to convert smaller maps (i.e. smaller file size) so as to make them compatible but wouldn't bother as using raster maps is not one of Garmins high points.
Cheers

Hi Michael
You can download and use open street maps free.
I have been using them on my Garmin handheld GPS also on my pc using Basecamp. You have to download the Basecamp version.
