Software for planning and navigating outdoor adventures with detailed maps and route customization.
Garmin MapSource is a shareware mapping app and developed by Garmin for Windows.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below.
MapSource has been dropped in favor of new Garmin products
Garmin MapSource is software that lets you create, view, and edit waypoints, routes, and tracks on your computer and transfer them to your navigation device for your next trip. It was previously included with DVD/CD versions of our map products.
MapSource is no longer included with DVD/CD versions of our maps. Instead, use BaseCamp to view maps and create routes and waypoints for your next hiking, biking, motorcycling, driving or off-roading trip.
And for your next boating trip, pair HomePort with your existing BlueChart data and view map details such as underwater hazards and hidden obstacles so you can plan a route to avoid them.
MapSource trip-planning software has never contained actual map data, but in the past, our map products used to include the MapSource brand name. We have since dropped the MapSource brand name from map products.
