"Garmin BirdsEye Select Download Card gives you multiple areas of 1:25k Ordance Survey UK mapping"

The Loving Outdoors Lowdown

What's great about BirdsEye Select is you can choose multiple areas of mapping anywhere in Great Britain. For example one card gives you one credit, with which you could download say the whole of Central London, then bits of Hampshire, Wales, or the Lake District. It's OS 1:25k mapping just like the Discoverer range, and once you've used up your 600 sq km, you can download another direct from the Garmin site. So if you're looking for 1:25k scale mapping, there's no need to buy the rather expensive micro SD cards that only cover the national parks.

It's also really easy to use, once you're in Base Camp you can just drag and drop the areas of mapping you need. At present it is available for all of Great Britain (in 1:25k scale), Germany, France, the Republic of Ireland, as well as the popular Kompass branded maps for Austria in addition to the Eastern Alps (Southern Germany/Northern Italy), and Switzerland.

What Garmin Say

BirdsEye Select is a new variation of the established Garmin BirdsEye™ service and allows Garmin users to choose customized sections of raster-based maps for compatible handheld device. It is available for the territories of Germany, France, Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland, as well as the popular Kompass branded maps for Austria in addition to the Eastern Alps (Southern Germany/Northern Italy), and Switzerland.

The raster map data downloaded via BirdsEye Select are directly derived by the most popular paper map series in Europe. Using Garmin’s free application BaseCamp™, simply select and purchase your desired coverage area and then transfer the raster map data straight to your handheld device. The BirdsEye Select map detail varies between 1:25K to 1:50K scale raster maps depending on the country or product. If you already use Garmin TOPO vector series or other Garmin topographic vector maps, these maps can be mashed with the BirdsEye Select data onto your device to enhance your chosen area and give the best of both mapping worlds: familiarity of the local paper maps as well as the intelligence of the Garmin vector series.

To use BirdsEye Select, you must first install Garmin’s free BaseCamp software (version 3.1.1 or later) on the computer. Download BaseCamp here www.garmin.com/basecamp. In addition, you’ll need a myGarmin account to register your device and start use of the BirdsEye Service. You may create an account during the purchase process.
