If you have downloaded some Birdseye Select OS 1:25k Mapping to your Garmin GPS Devices internal storeage, this mapping will not be able to be viewed if you also have a micro sd map card installed in your unit, such as the Garmin GB Discoverer 1:50k or Garmin Topo Great Britain Pro 1:50k Map card.

The maps are the micro sd card will always be displayed over any maps on your internal storeage, you can disable the maps on your map card which will then allow the downloaded Birdseye Select images to be viewed.


To be able to view this mapping on your device you need to first go into Setup - Map - Configure Maps and select your OS GB 1:50k map card to disable, make sure Birdseye Map options are enabled.


This is because the Garmin GPS will always read the Maps loaded on the SD card first, when you want to view your 1:50k maps again remember to repeat the process above but this time select enable your GB map card. 

N.B. As of March 2022 Garmin have discontinued Birdseye Select Map Vouchers - we do stock Map cards that have Ordnance Survey 1:25k Maps for all of Great Britain - more info here
