Avenue Verte - Garmin Compatible Map
01 Aug 2023
All mapping data is derived from OpenStreetMap. Many thanks to OpenStreetMap contributors for their skill & dedication.
This page updated 2026-07-01
There are three versions of the map now available for you to download - all are of the whole of the route of the Avenue Verte, but only show enough of England and France to cover the route, making each of these a fairly small download.
All maps also show the start position for Parkruns (where available).
Garmin Compatible Avenue Verte Map
Navigation can get very complicated, and the Avenue Verte can be challenging to follow. These maps are intended to make your journey along this wonderful route much easier. This is a searchable and routable cycle / walking map with the following features;
- Broad Green Line visible on the map following the route of the Avenue Verte,
- On most devices, if you are on the Avenue Verte, the device will read “Riding on Ave Verte” (Garmin Edge 530 displays the name of the next road ahead).
- When you investigate the pretty village just off the route, it’s easy to see where the route is and navigate back to it,
- If you decide to load a gps track and follow that, the device will want to navigate you to the start of the track, even it that means going the ‘wrong-way’ - you don’t suffer from this problem,
- Other cycle routes are also shown, making it easier to follow alternative routes should you wish,
- When you are diverted off of the route (there are always diversions!), it is easier to choose where & how to rejoin the route,
- Icons show where to find toilets, drinking water, cycle shops, shops with cycle departments, cafe’s, restaurants, accomodation, supermarkets, convenience stores, food stores, pharmacies & hospitals.
- Start points of Parkruns are visible,
- Addresses are searchable
- As the device is not constantly recalculating your navigation, and using the backlight, your battery will last much longer (especially important on older devices where the battery is not as good as it once was).
Tested on:
- Garmin Edge 530 (no microSD card slot. The small file was copied to the internal memory - search on internet for ‘how’- at your own risk).
- Garmin Edge 810
- Garmin Edge Touring
- Garmin Edge 605 & 705
- Garmin Etrex 30
- Garmin Basecamp
- QMapShack
Downloading
Each map has it’s own download folder containing the current & previous months map, together with the .torrent files you will need to download the winexe or gmapi version of the map. Also included is a .txt file containing the md5 sums for the maps, so that you can check the integrity of any downloads.
All dates {DATE} are in the format YYYYMMDD.

Verifying the integrity of your download
Using my linux computer the command: md5sum trike-2026-02-01.7z
produced the result: 60e12c4b599077a74d616a5938e9926d trike-2026-02-01.7z
If you have any doubt at all about the integrity of your download, please use this basic integrity check of the download, checking the result you get is identical to the result in the .txt file.
A similar method of producing the md5sum is available on Windows and Apple computers.
