Is it true that the overview map is only used by Mapsource and Bascamp on the PC, but does not work on the mobile devices themselves ? I'm looking for a solution for the following problem: When you zoom out to a really big scale ( 100km for instance ) the Oregon will not be able to render all of the display area. Of course the map is large enough ( DACH ) , but if you zoom out to show all of Germany at once the Oregon can not handle this. I suspect that it has to scan all the 3.8GB of my dach.img for elements to display and this is simply too much. I thought that an overview map might fix this problem. Is there any way to get an overview map working on the mobile device, or do we have to avoid zooming out too far?

Yes.

For this, there are the resolutions/levels. With every level, I display less informations, and with the highest level/lowest resolution, I only display the same few informations as with the overview map, means mostly highways and the POI of some very big cities. This works pretty well on my 62s.

Hi Franco,

Each Garmin GPS comes with base map preinstalled. It is a world map similar to preview map on PC. GPS displays base map when you zoom out. You can replace base map with preview map, but there is not much reason to do it. -- Best regards, Andrzej
Hi Thorsten and Andrzej, thanks for the feedback. In the map style I use there are no details on the top level. Only Motorways and Major Cities. Zooming out to the scale "30km" works fine, but zooming further out does not really work. Here's a sample: <http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/file/n5872144/IMG_20160414_203713.jpg> So I think I will have to live with the limitation of my old Oregon.

Hi Franco, have you enabled base map in GPS? It should be item like "Worldwide DEM Basemap" in menu of your GPS. -- Best regards, Andrzej

Hi Andrzej, No I do not have the Basemap enabled, anyway it's really old. Maybe it would show up in the blank spaces, maybe not. But even if I enable the GARMIN Basemap my OSM map will still not perform well in these extreme Zoom Levels. It slows down reactiveness of my device and almost crashes the system trying to render the OSM map in 120km Zoom. I think that best practice is to avoid these Zoom Levels.

Hi Franco, GPS should switch to basemap at lower scale, if basemap is enabled. Maybe your map has extended level definition? Basemap starts at resolution 17, I think you should limit your detailed map to levels with resolution 24-18. -- Best regards, Andrzej
Hi Andrzej, my map reaches up to zoom level 16. I just tested, and you are right, starting from a certain Zoom level the Basemap takes over if enabled. With my map the 50km Zoom still shows my map, no basemap visible. Beginning from 80km there is only the Basemap, and the device becomes reactive again. Thanks again for the hint :-) Ciao, Franco -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Question-about-the-overview-map-tp5872108p587...

Can one get these basemaps somewhere? The one on my Nüvi 205 is gone (yes that was my fault, i admit) Am 19.04.2016 um 20:57 schrieb franco_bez:

Hallo, ich habe die WW Autoroute DEM Basemap 3.0 auf meinem Nüvi. Bei Bedarf kannst mich privat unter thomas@img2ms.de kontaktieren. ~50 MB Dateigröße mfg Am 19.04.2016 um 21:13 schrieb Jakob Mühldorfer:
