Garmin has revealed an upgrade to its Outdoor Maps+, which it promotes as its 'premium mapping solution.' While Outdoor Maps+ is offered globally, several new features are only available to customers in the United States. Garmin has detailed six features that are exclusive to US users.
Limited Features for Europe
In contrast, Garmin is introducing only two new features for Outdoor Maps+ users in Europe. Unfortunately, these updates are simply enhancements of existing functionalities that were already present in the US. European users can now make use of Expanded Relief Shading, which visually represents elevation changes and terrain characteristics using color gradients.
New Raster Maps Access
Moreover, Garmin has broadened access to Raster Maps for European customers, incorporating data from providers in France and Switzerland. This addition displays locations for camping, points of interest, water sources, trails, and trailheads, among other features. It’s important to note that the subscription for Outdoor Maps+ continues to be priced at $49.99 per year. For further details, you can visit Garmin's official website.
