Reviews

Too many elevation lines which

"Too many elevation lines which hide the road lines. Need to have an option to remove or reduce elevation lines to clearly show the FSR."

— Don L. (3/5)

It works

"Got tired of thinking I could navigate with my phone on road trips with BRM🙄. Bought a Garmin navigator. The built in off grid mapping, well. . . lol. Adding the micro USB, big difference 👍"

— John B. (4/5)

I use Backroads maps on

The card worked seamlessly with

"The card worked seamlessly with my Garmin eTrex 22x. I used the back road maps because it had the canoe route I was doing. I didn’t need to add any additional information for my trip."

— Sherry C. (5/5)

Support email/chat dead, transaction instant,

"I have upgraded since BC v7. 0 almost religiously. Great discount, but no support when you have a problem with a new GPS unit or MicroSD. Great product and a MUST HAVE for backcountry enthusiasts."

— Adam P. (5/5)

Update did not load properly

"Update did not load properly and GPS unable to read. Now updated card no longer usable so had to install older card to use maps."

— Glen M. (1/5)

BPS and Mapbook Review

"I have only had a couple of opportunities to use the G PS and map book. Using them together works well especially if your GPS runs out of battery life!! I think the map book is going to be more useful when I am riding my dual sport and looking for roads to take. All in all I am enjoying both products."

— Andy M. (4/5)

when I go to web

"when I go to web site to sign in says I don't have an account??"

— Bob G. (5/5)

Q&A

What size SIM card should I buy? 8gb or 16 or 32?
The SD card sizes allow more storage capacity. The 8GB card will have a little over half the storage of the card available for your own data, if you require more space you can upgrade to the larger card options.
