MapSource is a tool developed by Garmin used to manage map and route data on Garmin GPS devices. This software is primarily used to load maps, plan routes and transfer data between a computer and Garmin GPS devices. If you have Garmin equipment and want to keep your maps up to date, download MapSource for free.

Manage maps and cartography

One of the main features of MapSource allows you to manage and view detailed maps. With this tool, you can load additional maps from CD-ROMs or download them from Garmin, allowing you to use topographic, road or marine navigation maps, among others. Each type of map is designed for specific needs, such as road navigation or trail exploration. Select which portions of the map you want to transfer to your GPS devices and maximize the limited memory of some devices.

Route and waypoint planning

MapSource allows you to plan detailed routes using the route creation feature. From the planning menu, you can set start and end points or add intermediate waypoints along the route. These waypoints can be customized with names and descriptions or organized into categories. This feature is especially useful for hikers, cyclists, or anyone who needs to plan a specific route before setting out. In addition to this, the route feature is able to adjust itself according to the type of transport used, such as cars, bicycles or pedestrians, optimizing the route as much as possible.

Data transfer to GPS devices

Another key feature of MapSource is data transference between a computer and a GPS device. Thanks to this feature you can send maps, routes, waypoints and tracks from your computer to your Garmin device and vice versa. This makes it easy to sync data, allowing you to carry all the planning you do in MapSource around with you. The data transfer is done via USB or serial connection, depending on the model of the GPS device. The tool also allows you to back up GPS data to the computer, providing an additional layer of security for important information.

View and analyze tracks

MapSource also offers tools for viewing and analyzing tracks, which are the routes recorded by a GPS device while on the move. You can download these tracks in MapSource to view the route on a map and analyze data such as distance traveled, total time, average speed and changes in altitude. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling, where it is important to review performance and plan improvements for future routes.

Map and data customization

The software can customize the maps and data transferred to GPS devices. This means that you can add annotations, such as street names or points of interest, and even create your own custom maps using data from external sources. These customization options are useful for those who require specific additional information not found on the standard Garmin maps.

In short, MapSource is the tool you need for map management and route planning on Garmin GPS devices. Download MapSource for free and manage your GPS navigation data simply and easily.
