TopoActive PowerSports Lite Maps on the Tread 2
The TopoActive PowerSports Lite Maps are a Little Different Than Traditional Outdoor TopoActive Maps.
- The Powersports color scheme emphasizes unpaved/dirt roads for Off-Road activities and is tailored to match the look and feel of the City Navigator maps.
- Feature colors are also optimized for use with the automotive map engine and Tread® 2 GPS navigator display.
- Since TopoActive Powersports is tailored for the Automotive displays, it would not look good on Outdoor/Fitness devices.
- Coverage for the TopoActive Powersports maps is exactly the same as standard TopoActive maps.
See What Maps are Preloaded on my Tread 2 Device? for a list of included maps.
The following coverage areas are available by Managing Maps on the Tread 2 or Using the Manage Maps Feature in Garmin Express for the Tread®.
TopoActive Maps are Made From OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap is the result of the contributions from public volunteers and so each contribution follows its own level of detail and has its own level of completeness in any given location. Overall, heavily used areas tend to have a lot of attention and tend to be more complete. This can vary widely by country or by region of a country.
- For Western Europe, the map is very complete & very detailed.
- For the US, the map has good detail overall but is more detailed in areas where the public has used/contributed to the map.
- This generally includes urban areas, recreation areas, etc.
- There will be areas where 24K is better and there will be areas where TopoActive is better, especially depending on the use case.
- TOPO 24K maps are not included and can be purchased by visiting the Garmin website.
- The map might be significantly different a few miles away.
- In Canada and Australia, the coverage is moderate to good in urban areas and fairly basic in the outlying rural areas.
- For other areas of the world, the coverage is typically very basic and limited to general coverage with some detail in larger urban areas.
NOTE: Anything stated above about detail or completeness can and will change with any given map update. We do not monitor the OpenStreetMap community data for the purposes of reporting map details.
