I know zip about apples but I doubt it is a display anomaly. More probably in the type of map you have. In any case you can change the way a map looks by using a different .TYP file.
BC looks for a coding in the map header as I've said before- if it isn't there, the map usually fails to display. |
I get the peaks in Mapsource at 3km zoom, the same zoom as the pistes show up. The same with Basecamp at a 15km zoom level.
The better maps with more detail dont make route planning terribly easy, which is why I prefer the maps from Free worldwide Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap for planning. Hopefully the service may resume, its a shame to lose such a useful website. On screen on the Montana when travelling I prefer the high detail of the topos |
It is not a Mac anomaly

It is to do with the data you do not want kept in the TYP file. See below a copy of the image you posted showing those pesky peak icons and Using the same map as you but modded and in more or less the same area (Ouinouska) without any peaks at scale of 1km for clarity. No more peskies! The decision, of course, as to which you prefer is yours! p.s thank you- my curiosity got me revisiting an old method which no longer worked so I spent a happy day yesterday being taught how the new kids on the block do it- this learning curve seems to get steeper these days :huh: Still, the good news is that the old grey matter can still absorb other stuff other than Chablis or Meursault!!!:Beach: Anyone seen B-O-B today? p.p.s I have left the elevations numericals in the map but these too can be removed as can any other offending icons! |
I spent yesterday playing with the Opentopo maps.
For Europe you can download an installer for basecamp, but not for the Africa maps. (The basecamp installer version has a horrible look to it). Like Chris I couldn't get the Morocco maps to open in Basecamp. So a bit of a play with OSM Combiner and using the GRnew typ file and I've got them installed and working in Basecamp. Very impressed with these maps now, nice and clear with good detail. Haven't tried it in the Montana yet but I think they might become my new favourite mapset. |

Answer is in post #27 above. And again below: The Ms version needs be written to the map header for any non-garmin maps then BC will read the map. |
made little sense TBH.
I just ran the file through OSM Combiner and let that install it. I also installed a number of other OTM maps in basecamp, these didn't load with the installer due to conflicts in the maptiles etc. Fixed using the error correction tool in Javawa GMTK and every things works fine |
We may have been
talking across purposes.
Scottys' post was about an icon he did not like/want and I was referring to editing the .TYP file. And making a map show up in BC. Anyway, I'm glad you have what you need. ATB |
Quite possibly

nakarte.me
Check out nakarte.me Russian mapping website where you can easily switch between four different aerial/satellite sources, as well as view loads of (mostly Russian) maps.
It does other things too, but i see now the zoom is not so good. https://nakarte.me/#m=14/31.98041/-6.11878&l=S/D |
OTM files in Basecamp
Following Chris's recommendation I've downloaded the OpenTopoMap Morocco and Contours , I managed to installed Morocco OTM in Basecamp with Gmaptool but then you don't get the same colors.
After few tries I managed to edit the files and get them in Basecamp by putting them on a USB card or SD card in a garmin folder. So I have a simple map and a map with the contours. The render is not the same in basecamp as on the OTM website, the contour lines are less precise and you have top play with detail level when zooming. Here are Basecamp screenshots: Simple map https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/otm-si10.png Map with contours high details https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/otm-co11.png Map with contours medium details https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/otm-co10.png Here are links to these edited maps if ever somebody need them. Map without contours: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1avi...ew?usp=sharing Map with contours: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tc-...ew?usp=sharing |
If you combine the OTM map and contours using OSM Combiner and the GRNew typ file it produces a very nice map set for use in Basecamp.
I’ve also loaded it on my Garmin 700i but I think it might be too detailed on the smaller screen. I’ll post some screen shots later |

tried to copy your screen shot.
3km zoom and highest detail |
I tried with OSM Combi and the result in Basecamp is better for the render of contour lines than what I got with Gmaptool.
Here's what I get in Bacecamp with higher details. https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/otm_co10.png It changes the background colour but it's not a big problem. Thanks. |
Michelin and IGN
I have scaned and merged the IGN and Michelin maps.
I wanted to have them on laptop or tablet for the trip. If you need them: IGN map (37MO) https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/ign-ma10.jpg https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dOA...ew?usp=sharing Michelin map (48MO) https://i24.servimg.com/u/f24/20/40/84/26/michel10.jpg https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tJl...ew?usp=sharing |

Elsewhere today someone posted this link to it with the old Morocco 1:250k maps available as a custom layer (dont ask me how!) https://nakarte.me/#m=12/31.45839/-6...NUb3AiOnRydWV9 |
