Re: opentopomap for Canada exceeds 4GB
Referring to previous posts - The solution of creating an installation file and sending a fragment
of the map from Base Camp in the case of an img file exceeding 4GB is an effective solution,
but after sending to the device (not everyone knows about it) the map loses the ability to search by addresses.
Losing the search may not be an obstacle if the device has another map of this area with an address database.
I used a different solution, I removed DEM data from the .img file, I have search by addresses, the size of the .img file - 2.66 GB.

Thank you so much for the help! I'd be curious how you went about doing it, so I could do my own in the future.

Re: opentopomap for Canada exceeds 4GB
Could you please help me out? The current otm-canada.img file is 5.36GB and I can't transfer it onto my Garmin Fenix 6X. I only have access to a mac at the moment so I can't use the GMapTool UI.Przekątny wrote: Thu Jan 02, 2025 2:46 pmConsidering that you are a new user of the forum I am willing to help you solve the problem with the map file.teknick wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2024 11:26 pm Having the same problem.
