The next step is to move to the area that you want to have on your Edge 520. If you miss this step, the map you get will not be completely useless, but the bike only maps are actually smaller, so you can fit more on and have the information not to send you on a highway. If you’re wondering, ‘fiets’ is Dutch for ‘bike’. Second, and an important step, is to set the map to the bike maps. UPDATE: openstreetmap currently only allows entire countries. This is a dedicated site to allow you to get the maps you need, and it’s free! Get a cycling map for the Garminįirst, go to. While it’s pretty much fool proof, I haven’t heard of anyone breaking their device doing this, I can not be held responsible if you do break your device. Please note that you choose to do this yourself.
The process is really easy and I’ll walk you through it with easy instructions. To install maps on the Garmin Edge 520 you need to take a couple of steps. Back to start is great if you feel like just going for a ride in an area you don’t know. You can’t tell it to navigate you to your favorite pub, but you can tell your Garmin to bring you back to the start and see whereabouts you are. Well, depending on how much data is available of course. However, the Garmin Edge 520 supports that you install your own maps! And, thanks to OpenStreetMap, you can get a detailed bike map of your region for free. In my area they are the main roads on which bikes are mostly not allowed. While writing my review on the Garmin Edge 520 I stumbled across what Garmin calls their ‘base’ maps. Posted on Novemin Cycling // 117 Comments
