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

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/iy8TkpoKCqcczqw

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. If all of this sounds very complicated to you, and you just want to buy one of these maps already installed onto a microSD card, I do offer them for sale on ebay - listing links are with the map details below.
