BirdsEye Comparison
Then and Now
- Garmin announced a
BirdsEye Made Better update in February of 2020, promising
newer, clearer, and more vivid
enhanced satellite terrain imagery with better,
more consistent coloring.
- Almost
immediately BirdsEye users began reporting diminished quality satellite
imagery downloads.
- We collected some
random examples of the new and improved BirdsEye satellite imagery for
comparison.
- The differences between
Garmin BirdsEye satellite imagery from 2014 vs 2020 were clear and
disappointing.
- We found the new for 2020
imagery to be washed out and lacking the detail present in previous
versions.
- You can view the results for
yourself in the comparisons provided below.
- If you
agree, please
take a moment to send Garmin
a
BirdsEye Improvement Request.

Tip: Do not delete or
overwrite any of your existing BirdsEye maps with the satellite
imagery currently available.
