Introduce  my way to make course map from latlonglab.

I need a course map of “Bike tokyo 2016” with my Edge520J.

Let’s try to import the map from here.

http://latlonglab.yahoo.co.jp/route/watch?id=a4485601c376bfc695d545c66e1546df

 

Down load a file of GPX.

Go to gpsies.com to convert data

http://www.gpsies.com

Click  “Convert”

 

Upload the file  which you downloaded on latonglab and Convert it.

Next, Upload the converted file

to Garmin connect with activites . click import.

 

Imported.

then make a course. click “save as course”

 

After save course, Rename the course name to “Bike TOKYO 2016”

then click “Send to device”

 

Garmin Express will launch automatically. then sync.

Now,  Garmin connect and Edge520J has course map of “Bike TOKYO 2016”

 

Don’t forget to delete activities of map. because it is not  your  activities.

 

OK. Ready to use!!

yay!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OSM (Open Street MAP) for GARMIN EDGE520J Review

It seems that I can replace the default map of Garmin Edge520J.

Default map is not useful for me.

So, I searched a map called OSM.

 

Here is a one of poplar site:

Free maps for Garmin brand GPS devices from OpenStreetMap

http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

However,  I did not try this.

I don’t think it is for Japanese people.

 

OpenStreetMap for GARMIN

http://osm-for-garmin.org/

In this time, I introduce this map.

ATTENTION: This is UNSUPPORT way of GARMIN.

ATTENTION: This is still a Beta Map as of May 3, 2016.

I downloaded a file named “EDGE520J_NE_160422.zip” released in April 22, 2016.

It support ONLY North East of Japan area.

(There are another area files)
