I have completed the custom Garmin trail maps for the TY Manitoba Ride.
Download here:
TY Manitoba Ride Route Maps
Please read the READ_ME_FIRST.txt file included in the zip file.
The maps install into Mapsource where you can then upload any or all of them to your Garmin GPS. The maps have a transparent background so your basemap or Topo maps will show through.
To use these maps:
1. open the zip file and extract the individual .exe route files to a folder
2. double click each route file to run the setup program...this will install the maps into Mapsource
3. open Mapsource
4. select the map(s) from the drop down Product list box
5. Use the Map Tool to select the map for upload (repeat steps 4 and 5 for each map you want to upload including Topo if you have it)
6. when you have selected all maps wanted click the Send to Device icon to upload maps to your GPS
If desired you can show/hide each individual map on your GPS to display only the map you are currently riding...see your GPS owners manual on how to do this.
Screenshot showing how trails will appear on GPS (over Topo)
Trails will be red with a black border.
