Is my current navigation technology sufficient (and how do I use it)?
The issue with the Garmin Africa map is that you have to download it. To do this you provide the serial number of the eTrex. When you provide this the Garmin system tells you its not compatible so wont download.
On the maps.me i noted the comments earlier regarding data and turned off 'background app refresh' in settings. I was hoping that whilst my maps (already downloaded) might be a few months out of date, i'd avoid this new data upload issue. Sound feasible?
Having played around it was also easy to export my waypoints and routes from google maps as a .kml file (to dropbox) and then just open into maps.me
I'll have a play with some other apps too - keen to learn from your experiences. I have downloaded OSMand as well so will have a crack with that.
How would i get OSM maps onto my eTrex Warin? If i could do that, that would be a good option for me. (I am about to work through the link you provided at the start of this thread to see if i can do it that way).
