Garmin GPS Contour Map for Brittany, France
Download this zip file for a Garmin GPS
contour/topo map of Brittany, France. This can be previewed using Garmin's
MapSource program, then downloaded to your Garmin GPSr. The maps are
transparent, so if you download them together with a (e.g.,)
MetroGuide map, you'll see the contours and roads/towns on the GPSr
display at the same time.
Contours are displayed at 10, 50 and 250m intervals. The coverage
is from Le Havre in the East to Nantes in the South. This includes all
of Brittany and parts of Normandy and Loire.
I've tested this with MapSource version 6.9.1 and a Garmin etrex
Legend. The contour maps are generated from NASA SRTM
files. They have not been post-processed to remove voids, errors
etc. DEM2TOPO
and cGPSmapper were used to
create the Garmin .img files.

Installation
Download this bretagnecntr.zip file
(warning - BIG - 12Megs - broadband recommended) and unpack it in
a directory. I suggest you create c:\garmin\bretagnectr
for this purpose.
To use the contour maps with Garmin, you will have
to make some manual additions to the Windows registry.
WARNING - messing with the Windows registry can
seriously damage your PC's health.
I take no responsibility for this. If you get it wrong - you're on
your own.
If you have unpacked the .img files into the directory
c:\garmin\bretagnectr as suggested, simply double click
on the c:\garmin\bretagnectr\bretagnectr.reg file to
create the registry entry. The install is now finished and you're
ready to roll!
If you've installed the .img files elsewhere, you'll have to add
entries for loc, tdb and bmap
by hand.
The maps are installed with Product Id 135. A cGPSMapper PV file
(bretagne_pv.txt) is included if you want to change this.
