The Garmin Tread navigators currently include MVUM maps right out of the box.Traveller128 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 9:42 pm Just need to figure out if I can get MVUM maps to work on it, and we'll go that route.
We have requested that Garmin add MVUM as an available layer in their new Outdoor Maps+ subscription (which is supported by the Montana 7x0).
There are other methods to get MVUM on your Garmin GPSr now, but they can be spotty and may require some research time to get the result you want.
We found this PDF document from the Coconino NF website that includes information and links to an installer that loads Coconino NF MVUM maps directly to supported Garmin devices. We were able to get them loaded on our Montana 7x0 within just a few minutes. It appears not all NF websites support or provide similar maps, however.
Do keep in mind, the Montana 7x0 is a Garmin 'Outdoor Recreation' device that operates very similar to all Garmin handheld devices from the last 20+ years, while the Tread devices are 'Automotive' devices that operate completely differently, and a learning curve will be likely with either option.
You can also convert NFS PDF maps to Raster Maps and load them to your supported Garmin Navigator. See GPSrChive > How To... > Maps > Custom Maps for details. (The process is not as difficult as it may first seem - It only takes a few minutes to convert a PDF map and load it to your device).
