Features of Hike-and-Bike Maps
Hike-and-Bike maps are specifically designed for outdoor activities and recreational navigation. Based on up-to-date OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, they are ideal for hikers, cyclists, mountain bikers, bikepackers, travelers, tourists, and anyone using a Garmin GPS device or Garmin BaseCamp.
The maps offer excellent contrast, clearly distinguish different road types and trails, and provide a clean, easy-to-read layout. Subtle contour lines and hill shading improve terrain visualization, making route planning and navigation easier in both urban and remote areas.
All maps support turn-by-turn routing and can be used on compatible Garmin GPS devices as well as in Garmin BaseCamp. They also include a wide range of Points of Interest (POIs), such as restaurants, hotels, campsites, viewpoints, railway stations, fuel stations, and many other useful locations.
The maps are regularly updated using the latest OpenStreetMap data. Scheduled updates are released four times a year, at the beginning of January, April, July, and October.
If you would like to try the maps before purchasing, several free sample maps are available for download. Since all Hike-and-Bike maps are created using the same design and data processing methods, these test maps provide an excellent impression of the layout, features, and overall map quality.
The Madagascar map includes the following
- Garmin GPS device – installation image for microSD for the Garmin navigation device.
- Microsoft Windows – GMAP installation archive for Garmin BaseCamp.
- Apple macOS – GMAP archive for Garmin BaseCamp.
The Madagascar map is available in the Hike-and-Bike online shop.
