    Is it possible to download custom maps onto the Garmin Zumo XT?

    If so, I want to download maps from BBBike.org onto the Zumo XT.

    Which format does the Garmin Zumo XT use?

    Is it Latin 1 or UTF-8?

      @James-Schnoor it has to be a KMZ file. Easy to install and they do work. Used Caltopo a lot because it would output a KMZ file that I could place on the Garmin Instructions here: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=xoI2VWlekh6fHYGZ78cNI8

      However, looking at the map you are after and visiting the Freizeitkarte site (I have used these on my XT device) but these were downloaded as a map image file (gmapsupp.img).

      Installation: https://www.freizeitkarte-osm.de/garmin/de/installation.html

      Kind Regards. Help where I can.
