[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2018-07-03

[Elliott Plack]

Question about these extracts: I’ve tried loading some on these on my Edge
820 but the maps are too detailed to render. This is most often a problem
in city areas where mapping detail is dense. I usually run off the edge of
the rendered map before it has a chance to reload. The Garmin default map
is also OSM-based, so is there any advantage to using these extracts.
