Congratulations! Your map is now installed and ready to be used on your GPS!
To view your map on your Garmin GPS (for Nuvi models):
- At the main screen, choose the following: Tools → Settings → Map → Map Info. You will now see a list of all maps installed on your GPS including your new map from GPSTravelMaps.com. Uncheck all maps except the one you would like to view.
- At the main screen, choose the following: Where To → Near… → A Different City → (input or select a city that you want to view) → Browse Map (Scroll down to find Browse Map. Browse Map is different than View Map from the main screen).
You should now see the city you selected. ZOOM IN to see more map detail; ZOOM OUT to see more area. (As you zoom out you will see less detail on the map; for example, you may not be able to see roads.) You can browse the map and see different areas by dragging your finger across the screen.
To view specific points of interest on your new map (for Nuvi models):
At the main screen, choose the following: Where To → Near... → A Different City → (input or select the city to which you want to navigate) → Points of Interest → (select the place that you want to search for, such as a hotel or restaurant) → Map. You should now see the POI and the map detail.
