Excellent video. Thank you very much. I bought a Garmin eTrex 32 last week and I inserted an SD card in order to load the TalkyToaster map. However, Garmin Base Camp could not see it. The Base Camp version was the most recent one - 4.7.4 - and I discovered from a Google search that there is some incompatibility between the 4.7 series and third party maps on an SD card. The solution was to uninstall 4.7.4 and install version 4.6.2 instead. Which I did and it worked perfectly. I hope this comment will help others who may be tearing their hair out wondering why the hell they can't see the map.

Martin, I nearly pissed myself laughing with this video! Fantastic stuff and very informative...

[Simatic]

Great video Martin. By showing how users really use their eTrex, instead of just showing one feature at a time as done in the Garmin “training videos”, it was very clear and informative.
I always spot check a map and my compass on my hikes, but having an eTrex with you as well so handy.
Thanks for the videos Martin.

Haha! That turned into a Carry On movie! This is good info. I "follow my own trails" too. AKA get lost a lot. This should help.

[SimbaOS]

Thank you a lot. This is so much helpful for a newbie like me.

Great video, thanks! I was surprised that I didnt need subtitles as I usually do watching British movies and videos, you are easy to understand. Where did you find the Etrex 20X cover?

A few years ago I bought an eTrex 30X. Recently I sold it and bought the eTrex SE (which does not use real maps). I prefer the SE having Bluetooth connectivity to the phone, where I can prepare the routes or use as display in case needed.

Hi Martin well done. A very short and to the point informative video on how to download and upload a trail using your Garmin Etrex 20. I have an Etrex H that I would use as back up for a location grid reference if needed. Personally I think that competent use of map and compass is an essential skill that should be used and practiced. Very impressed with the Garmin Base Camp download which I will be checking out. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for this video, I d love to create my routes but at the moment I cant figure our how to upload detailed map to the BaseCamp. Is there any way to get help with that please? :)

[ChrisPenta]

I seem to be having trouble having the track/path "snap" to a trail basemap I have, or indeed any map. Is there something I'm missing?

[BrokenBackMountains]

Talky toaster is great but basecamp sucks.
I have an etrex 20 as well but due to my aversion to basecamp I usually get gpx files from mountainviews or walk highlands.

Easier to use OS maps app on the phone

no good unless you can see how the damn thing tells you where to go
