Hi everyone

Has anyone used a garmin touring edge in Tenerife at all?.

Wants to know what the mapping is like on the device????

Cheers
 
Assuming it has a micro SD card, you can download a map tile to the card from here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

There is a tile for Tenerife.

Generally, the base map supplied with a Garmin is poor, but you can load a map (*.img fle) onto the SD card and the GPS uses that map file.

Getting it all to work can be a bit of a faff, but there is advice on here and elsewhere. I use an eTrex Legend HCx with a basemap from the link - there are several versions available, with different colours, themes etc. Some have contours too.

You do not need to pay for mapping to go on your GPS.

See here too. http://www.aukadia.net/gps/lwg_32.htm

Do not assume that all you have to do is load a file and it will work - Garmin is not like that - but an hour or 2 of research for your device will bring huge benefits.

Openstreet map's (free and legal) like you get at Talkytoaster are better than garmin base maps you might want to try that. Interestingly Garmin have actually included open street maps on the 1000.
