Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K Questions and Answers

Question: Does the Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K microSD/SD card include all of the UK at 1:25k scale and is this a vector map as opposed to the earlier raster OS maps where the detail gets pixelated when you zoom in? thanks

Answer: I can confirm that the Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K title is a vector-based map. However, the TOPO GB 1:25K map does also feature raster mapping, this becomes apparent as you zoom into the map - in particular in built-up areas. Please see the "Further update" at the bottom of the question.

Garmin offer two types of topographical mapping: Garmin BirdsEye TOPO and Garmin TOPO series (which the Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K map is part of). The main difference between these two series is the mapping software. Garmin BirdsEye Topo series uses raster-based mapping while Garmin TOPO series uses vector-based mapping.

Each mapping style has its own advantage. The raster mapping advantage allows for all available detail to show no matter what zoom level is display on the GPS. Vector-based detail will gradually disappear as you zoom further and further out.

Vector mapping using mathematical calculations to form geometrical shapes while raster mapping utilises pixels. For this reason, vector mapping will have a higher quality image compared to raster maps.

Further update: (22nd July 2021) Garmin have confirmed the Garmin TOPO Great Britain V3 PRO 1:25K are vector based, however the map does also feature some raster maps. As you zoom in and out of the map on your compatible Garmin handheld device the TOPO map features layers of maps so kind of a hybrid between the two with scans and vector information. In more congested areas of mapping e.g. built-up areas, the maps are more likely to display using raster mapping.


Question: I have a Garmin Colorado with full UK OS25k mapping on SD card. Can I copy that for us with any Garmin 800 / 1000 series cycle computers please?

Answer: Garmin maps on SD card are copyrighted and cannot be copied. You can however remove the SD/microSD card from your Garmin Colorado and use with other compatible Garmin models such as the Garmin Edge 800 and Edge 1000 series. If you wanted muiltple copies of the map on SD/microSD card you would need to buy additonal copies.

Other maps to consider

Depending upon the Garmin model that you own, there's a range of other maps that are also available. Each of the different Garmin map series below offer different features.

Garmin GB Discoverer maps

Similar to topo maps, the discoverer map range provide the perfect maps for walking, hiking, etc. The difference though is in the detail - GB Discoverer mapping uses Ordnance Survey (OS) Landranger 1:50 000 maps or 1:25 000 OS Explorer map detail and appears the same on screen as the paper version. As a rule of thumb these maps are only compatible with Garmin devices post 2008, so if you own an early model you'd either need to upgrade or buy a TOPO map instead. Read more and view the remaning GB Discoverer maps.

Garmin City Navigator maps

If you'd like to add street-level road maps to your Garmin system, then you need to buy a map from the Garmin City Navigator range. Most regions around the world including Full Europe (UK, Eastern and Western Europe) are now available and all maps come on plug-and-play SD/microSD Card that insert directly into your device.

View all the maps that are available to buy.

Garmin BlueChart maps

If you'd like to use your Garmin handheld on the waters around the British Isles or abroad then you need to buy a Garmin blue chart map chip. Charts cover three different size areas from small to extra large, enabling you buy a chart for the waters that you are exploring on your boat, dinghy, yacht of RIB.
