![]() ![]() ![]() Using the maps installed on the Garmin device (either the Garmin pre-installed ones or third party ones like our TT HD Top/Topo Pro maps) in BaseCamp is pretty straightforward, as long as you understand that the maps have to complete an initialisation before they will be usable in Basecamp. Only continue reading this page and it’s guidance, if the map is working fine on your Garmin device (or MicroSD or SD card in the Garmin device). If this is the case, you need to address that issue by either installing the map correctly, or by maybe re-formatting the MicroSD or SD card, or trying another card instead. If the map is not working on either the internal storage or a MicroSD or SD card in the Garmin device, then the issue is NOT with BaseCamp either the card or the map has become corrupted or is not correctly installed. Make sure the Opacity slider is set correctly or the map will be invisible!.The Detail setting should be set to 5 (otherwise not all the available data will be shown).If you create a Route without using one of QMapShacks own routing methods (offline or online) you will end up with straight lines (as the crow flies) routes. The routing in the IMG file is ignored, so creating a route in QMapShack will not use the routing data in the IMG file.Most POIs are selectable, but some are not rendered correctly (not sure why).DEM data in the map is ignored (you can use QMapShacks own DEM features instead).It will not read BaseCamp versions of the maps, only the GPS versions.Please note: That although it pretty much renders the map the same way as on a Garmin device (or in BaseCamp) there are some limitations in the way that QMapShack works, these include: Here are a few screen shots of QMapShack (running in Windows 10) showing my British Isles map: Once installed it can be set to read the folder where you have map files in Garmin IMG format (single map files, not single map tiles). There are also Windows (64 bit) versions and Mac versions available too although I would suggest using BaseCamp instead as it offers more features on those operating systems. ![]() for Ubuntu you would use the following command (as root): You can install QMapShack via your usual way on Linux, e.g. You can find out more about QMapShack via the links below: The GPS version of the maps will work in the OpeSource desktop application known as QMapShack (this is the nearest that you can get to Basecamp on Linux, without installing WINE and trying to get BaseCamp to work via that). ![]()
