Have you been frustrated trying to find out how to upload a custom map (e.g. with grid cells and topo maps) to your Garmin GPS? We have. There are always conflicting instructions on the internet and there’s no one website which explains the steps clearly. We’ve decided enough is enough!

One of Rimba’s ex full-time researchers, William, has put together a useful guide on how to upload your very own custom maps to your Garmin GPS!

Click here to download the instructions on how to get your own maps (like ours below) into your Garmin 60csx and 62 series. Now you won’t have an excuse for putting your camera trap in the wrong place!

For smooth downloads, (right click and select ‘Save as’)

Special thanks to Nyon, and to Taufik and Poejoe from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks for pointing us in the right direction!
