Map Software
Garmin® offers two main programs for managing their maps: Mapsource® and Basecamp®. While Mapsource® has the most features, Basecamp® is the newer software product with a modern User Interface. In addition to managing maps, both programs can import waypoints, routes, and tracks from your GPS-Receiver as well as from other sources (e.g. Internet).
Both programs are available free of charge from Garmin®’s website. Our maps are compatible with these standard programs. If you would like to use our maps with MAC OS, you have to use the free software MapConverter to convert our maps into the MAC fileformat.

NepalGPSMap FREE Maps
Some of our maps are available in a FREE-Version which can be downloaded from here. These versions are completely free of charge, but include only basic information and they are not routable. There are no POIs (Points-Of-Interests) except emergency facilities (like satelite telephones, hospitals, doctors etc.), no topographic contour lines and no streets/trails except main streets. The data of the FREE maps is slightly older than the data of the maps commercially available.
We offer each map in two different fileformats:
- If you are using Mapsource® or Basecamp® (see above), please choose the Mapsource®-Installation-File. This will integrate the map into your Mapsource® installation.
- In all other cases please choose the Sendmap-Installation-File. This will let you transfer the map directly to your GPS-receiver without the need of any additional software.
