Hi,
Just the topographic data.
Most of the Olaf pistes are in the 4x4 map.

As I previously posted make sure you double check the pistes on viagens actually exit before travel or you may find that nice trans atlas route is a dead end or doesn't exist! the maps have a lot of ghost pistes marked

I've loaded Olafs into basecamp and found that the pistes (thin black lines, and dashed lines), aren't visible unless you're zoomed in to 750m

That makes planning incredibly difficult.

I also get some kind of branding "map created in xxxxx" over the tiles too.

When using Garmin City Navigator Europe and Open Street Maps for any and everywhere in Mapsource I have the same "problem", except I don't see it as a problem as it's free and very accurate.

I use a paper map or road atlas for broad planning and Mapsource for micro planning. Also, when you're actually there, a lot of tracks are visible to the eye: Navigation in Morocco, even on the pistes, is not difficult during the day.

Olaf into a Garmin 600
 
Has anyone managed to slot Olaf into a Garmin 600 or similar?

Someone is asking: 'It shows up fine in Basecamp and the Garmin recognises the map when I hit the Install option under the Maps drop-down but it says that the map failed to transfer.'

I wonder if something about Olaf is too old for the modern touchy Garmins.
It's one reason I'm avoiding them. I've not got any hair left to pull out*.

*May have used that one already on this subject

In my opinion OSM+VFP is better than Olaf. It has more detail and is of course more up to date. Olafs worked on my mobile, and on a Garmin 62 but wouldn't work in the Garmin Quest.

Montana 600 Chris? If so yes I have installed Olaf, but can't remember how. Probably following a guide here or somewhere
