get Garmin MAPS+ for your Epix or Fenix

[gallery size="medium" ids="79775,78068,79774"] Garmin OUTDOOR MAPS+ | Now Available | As first reported on this site back in December 2022, Garmin was in the advanced stages of preparing for the release of MAPS+ subscriptions for Epix and Fenix watches. A few days ago this went live. What's Happened Garmin has recently released Garmin Outdoor Maps+ for a selection of smartwatches, including the Fenix 7, Epix 2, Enduro 2, related Fenix derivatives, and some Montana handhelds. This updated version is essentially an improved and rebranded version of the previous Birdseye product which was £22 in the UK. The satellite maps offer in-depth topographic information such as trails, elevation data, and public land boundaries. Additionally, users can customize their maps with waypoints and routes and share them with others. These maps are purchasable through the Garmin Connect app or the Garmin website, and it's now possible to download them quickly over WiFi. It's worth noting that these maps are not yet available for the newly launched Forerunner 965 and are only available within the USA. When considering the Fenix 7, it can be confusing to determine if the Garmin Outdoor Maps+ is the same as the free Topo Active Maps that are available for download. The answer is no, they are different. Cost These cost $50 a year to subscribe to. Alternative A great alternative is talkytoaster's TT HD Topo and TT 1:50K maps, which are available in many countries and with excellent support from the site owner.
