Vector topo map for Garmin

The Via Francigena topo map includes the area covered by the Italian part of this historical itinerary. It is a vector gps map that can be used with most Garmin GPS units, but it can also be purchased as raster map to be used with some Garmin models (GPS MAP62, eTrex 20-30, Montana, Oregon, Colorado, Edge 800 and Dakota).

The raster map can also be installed in TwoNav Aventura GPS or used on PC with CompeGPS and OziExplorer and other GPS software. As a consequence, the raster map can be transferred to many PDA/Smartphone devices running TwoNav or OziExplorerCE.

Height data are also provided, in order to get 3D views on PC, by using the above mentioned software. It is provided a file containing waypoints along the itinerary as well.

The raster map is composed of seven tiles named Q1..Q7. Each tile can be viewed at a scale of around 1:50.000. Using CompeGPS you can also load more tiles at the same time.

The tiles are shown in the following figure:
