North Sea Cycle Route Map

All mapping data is derived from OpenStreetMap, including the downloadable maps. Many thanks to OpenStreetMap contributors for their skill & dedication.

Downloads

The problem affecting the Avenue Verte maps, and the North Sea Cycle maps has now been corrected, and the October 2025 versions are now available as usual - apologies for any inconvenience.

Downloading - Please take note!

It’s slow because I have a normal household internet access, and the files you are downloading are big - some are very big. For instance;

  • north sea cycle latest for September 2025 is 1011mb,

  • ave verte large latest for September 2025 is 802mb,

  • ave verte small - if you download all 3 files is 766mb.

It’s going to take a few minutes to download - be patient, look at your screen - somewhere it will show download progress. Don’t click on download again - doing it twice does not speed it up, but it does slow it down.

If my household connection is going to be continually swamped, I may have to change how people can download the files, or start charging so I can upgrade my internet access - I don’t want to do this.

The file needed for installation on a Garmin device, or for using in QMapShack (the .img file) is available as a direct download from https://daphne-nick.uk/nextcloud/index.php/s/ikwa3JSLYS8Hdzp

The .exe and .gmapi files are available via torrent downloads from https://daphne-nick.uk/nextcloud/index.php/s/6cQesAz38DWRWBo

All dates {DATE} are in the format YYYYMMDD.

All maps also show the start position for Parkruns (where available).

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

The maps are updated every month, depending on my availability.

_You will need a torrent sharing programme on your computer, such as Transmission or Deluge (there are many, just search on the internet if you haven’t come across them before). There is a guide to installing maps onto your Garmin device here.
