How to install OSM Maps in XT2

Post by turbo19 »

Hello,

I'm trying to install a generic OSM map of Morocco, like the ones I installed on the XT (by placing the .img file in the "Map" folder or inside the "Garmin" folder). On the XT2 I have tried both ways and it does not seem that it is that easy to install OSM maps.

- It does not have the "Map" folder, and despite creating it and putting the maps inside it does not support them.
- I've tried this and putting them in the "Garmin" folder, and it doesn't work.
- The worst thing of all is that in Garmin Express I don't even have the option to buy the map of Morocco.

Could someone give me a hand? Have you installed any OSM map on the XT2? How?

Thanks in advance.

I answer myself, I have solved it thanks to a colleague on the Facebook forum, installing the OSM maps through MapInstall, installing on the XT2 SD card.


From what can be deduced from the Garmin Express map schemes, the map of Africa that the XT2 has does not cover Morocco. But when you proceed with the installation of the Garmin Africa maps on the SD, complete Africa is installed. It is an error in the generic images that the Garmin Express shows.

Thank you.
