Garmin Edge 800 Maps

Discover which maps the Garmin Edge 800 cycle computer includes as standard and which ones you can buy extra, and why you might like to buy them.

As standard the Edge 800 is preloaded with Garmin's basemap. The basemap includes major roads, rivers, lakes, etc. This information whilst useful, doesn't match up to the additional mapping that is available to use with the Garmin Edge 800.

The additional maps that are available provide rich specific map data for different purposes e.g. TOPO maps - perfect for cycling off-road in Great Britain and mainland Europe. In total there are three different types of Garmin maps that can be used within the Garmin Edge 800. Read on to discover more about them.

Garmin Edge 800 TOPO Maps

Topographical maps or TOPO maps (for short) range are the premium map series from Garmin for exploring and navigating the great outdoors and countryside of Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Switzerland to name a few of the available Garmin TOPO map titles. As well as hiking/walking, the Garmin topographic map series are also perfect for mountain biking, skiing, etc and provide high-detailed scale maps of around 1:50K to 1:25K scale.

The latest Garmin TOPO map series uses the best in available maps for each country. For example, Great Britain TOPO maps use Ordnance Survey (OS) data at a scale of either 1:50K or 1:25K, while the French TOPO map titles use IGN data at a scale of 1:25K.

For walking/hiking in Great Britain, Garmin Edge 800 owners have two options:

1. Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K SD/microSD card (pictured right)
2. Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:50K SD/microSD card

All Garmin TOPO maps come supplied on plug-and-play SD/microSD card.

Garmin Edge 800 GB Discoverer Maps

Garmin Great Britain (GB) Discoverer map series has been discontinued by Garmin and replaced by the Garmin TOPO series (see above section of maps). The Garmin GB Discoverer map series comprised of more than 60 GB Discoverer map titles. Each map title covered a specific National Park or National Trail in Great Britain e.g. Yorkshire Wolds Wayat a scale of 1:25K.

In comparison the new Garmin TOPO GB map at a scale of 1:25K now features the whole of Great Britain, negating the need to buy multiple map SD/microSD cards. However, if you only planned to visit one single National Park or National Trail you could save a lot of money, by just buying the area you require e.g. 1:25K Rannoch and Loch Tay, rather than buying the map for the whole country.

While the majority of Garmin GB Discoverer titles are now sold out, we do have limited number of maps available to buy from ActiveGPS. Currently available 1:25K scale GB Discoverer maps that you can buy from ActiveGPS include: 1:25K Glyndwr's Way, 1:25K Northumberland,1:25K Central Highlands and 1:25K Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path (pictured right).

All Garmin GB Discoverer maps come supplied on plug-and-play SD/microSD card. View the full range of compatible Garmin Edge 800 GB Discoverer maps
