Free Garmin Malta Maps
Free Garmin Malta Maps Free. 5/31/2018 0 Comments If you own a Garmin satnav,you will need at a certain point a new set of maps or a map update. If your device is old, probably the best solution is to put your hands on a new Garmin satnav with the LMT extension in description.
Loading Google Maps to a Garmin GPS is an easy way to transfer destinations from a PC to the Garmin. The Google Maps feature lets you quickly load multiple destinations onto the Garmin GPS by inputting the information on the PC rather than using the clunky Garmin GPS touch screen. This feature is useful for planning business and vacation trips. All the addresses are saved to the 'Favorites' menu on the Garmin GPS, which makes the addresses easy to find.
Step 1
Turn on the Garmin GPS. Insert the USB cable into the PC and then into the GPS.
- One of the more common questions I receive relates to international (non-U.S.) maps — where can I find maps of a particular country? There are actually many options, and I suspect that most people aren’t aware of them all. Some are even free. I’m going to focus on Garmin in this post, which has theread more.
- Do you appreciate this service? OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was.
Step 2
Open your Internet browser and go to the Google Maps website.
Step 3
Type the address in the search box, then click 'Search Maps.'
Step 4
Click 'Send' (look for the mail icon) above the map on Google Maps.
Step 5
Select 'GPS' when the pop-up window appears. Once 'GPS' is selected, the Garmin GPS website will appear.
Click the 'Send to GPS' icon. The address will be under the 'Favorites' menu on the Garmin. If the 'Send to GPS' icon is not available, click the 'Scan for GPS' icon. Once the Garmin GPS is detected, click the 'Send to GPS' icon.

One of the more common questions I receive relates to international (non-U.S.) maps — where can I find maps of a particular country? There are actually many options, and I suspect that most people aren’t aware of them all. Some are even free. I’m going to focus on Garmin in this post, which has the greatest variety of international maps readily available, at least for any of the top selling GPS receiver brands in the U.S.
Lets go through the options one by one…
Garmin City Navigator international maps
Created by Garmin, these products provide turn-by-turn routing. Some come in two versions, City Navigator or City Navigator NT. The NT maps use a different compression method and are generally compatible with newer units. A compatibility tool , to see which units they work with, is available on Garmin’s “On the Road” cartography page. Unfortunately, it isn’t always up to date.
Each page below has a link to a coverage map; the image on the right shows the European coverage map. There is also a MapViewer tool on the cartography page, allowing you to
zoom in and view any area covered in each product. These maps are one of the best options for the countries and regions for which they are available:
Garmin MapSource WorldMap
WorldMap is a very general map designed for areas for which Garmin has no other coverage. A pretty weak offering, even Garmin says it “is generally recommended only if no other coverage is available for the area.”
Garmin international topo maps
Garmin offers international topo maps for Canada and Great Britain, though some third-party maps in the next section include topo maps too.
Third-party international maps
These are created by vendors that have established a relationship with Garmin. They may or may not include turn-by-turn routing. These third-party international maps are listed on the Garmin website:
Mexico maps
This is a special, “close to home” case, that has a attracted a number of developers. In addition to the Mexico City Select maps above, I’ve covered several offerings in previous posts:
Other sources of international maps
EDIT: I was just reminded that there are maps for sale of other countries too. I’ll add more as I become aware of them:
- Afghanistan (UPDATE: This looks like a greatly improved Afghanistan topo)
UPDATE:I’ve also been reminded that TravelByGPS.com has routable maps of Africa, Costa Rica, Iraq, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan and Panama.
A word about Garmin nuvi x70 models
If you are planning a trip to Europe, you may want to consider purchasing a Garmin nuvi 270, 370, 670 or 770. All of these units have pre-loaded maps of the U.S., Canada and Europe (see coverage map above). Generally, it is cheaper to buy these units with pre-loaded maps rather than buy a model without them and purchase the maps separately. Check out my Garmin nuvi comparison chart to see the differences in other features in these transatlantic units.
