British maps on MicroSD card for Garmin GPSMap.

I bought the microsd card with maps of Britain for Garmin GPSmap, because I couldn't be bothered to mess around with downloading! It came in the post incredibly promptly, and just worked as soon as it was physically installed. After using it for a few weeks I'm really happy with the mapping. Much better than what came on the Garmin and apparently at least as good as the (expensive) OS alternative.

Great Website! Great MapsI

I have a Fenix 6X pro and with all the new epix and fenix pro,s arriving a bit out of my price range I wanted something better than the maps provided by garmin, I have seen the maps provided by Talkytoaster on youtube and thought Id give it a go, I am not dissapointed the process was easy the website gives great information and breaks it down in to individual steps, it took about 20 minutes and am very happy with the maps, I,m a keen hiker so great to see the contours and all the detailed information provided. Thank you for a great service.

Keeping an older but perfectly fine GPS updated.

I have a GPSmap 60CSx that I have had for years and done many Munros, today it was given new maps and in my opinion a new lease of life. Hope to use my unit for years to come now thanks to Talkytoaster maps.

Clear, detailed maps on this unit. Clear instructions but knowing help was there if needed was a huge bonus. I ended up getting the Basecamp maps too.

Bonus points for being a Red Dwarf fan :D

The bar for customer service.

Working in a service industry myself I appreciate good customer service. Talky Toaster has set a very high bar with not only service that goes way above and beyond but also a fantastic product that itself is unrivalled in the marketplace.
If you're looking for GPS maps this is your one-stop shop.

Great maps

Great maps - bought an update and all went smoothly. As a non-techie person the information and help on the website and in various videos can look overwhelming but a few minutes studying the relevant bits, a bit of quiet time and all is well and the map successfully loaded. I didn't need to contact Martin this time - I did in the past and, as others report here, he is extremely helpful. Definitely great maps and service.

Outstanding customer service

I purchased a map of the British Isles but had a problem downloading it using my Mac, this was not the fault of the product but the operator - me! I reached out to Martin via the chat facility on the website and within minutes Martin had called me and guided me through the process.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with Martin about his inspiration for Talkytoaster and how it developed.
Thank you Martin for the swift response, time and patience.
A first class product backed by first class customer service.

Highly recommended!

As i read positive reviews all over the internet and use my Garmin Tactix Delta extensively i decided to give it a go and bought a map. To my surprise the map looked awful and even inaccurate on my watch. I contacted Talkytoaster on a saturday morning, hoping to get an answer after the weekend. To my great surprise i got an answer within the hour. Whaaauw! Turns out i did not read the instructions as i should have done. (RTFM, i know!) With just a simple tip from Martin it now works like a charm and looks awesome! Never seen so much detail! Now i have this weird sensation of feeling stupid and happy at the same time. Highly recommended!

Second Purchase from Talkytoaster

I Last worked with Martin at least four years ago when he set me up with UK charts for hiking in the Outer Hebrides and Assynt, all went very well. Now I have purchased charts for North and South Carolina where cell phone coverage is spotty at best.
Martin was his usual efficient self. Thanks Martin, always a pleasure.

Detailed and accurate maps

Detailed and accurate maps. In combination with my Garmin 5x plus, I've used these to navigate on several long trail runs and hikes. Easy to install, and the talky toaster team were very helpful when I accidentally duplicated an order. Couldn't recommend more. Great value.

Super maps for garmin

I, like others was nervous! I took the plunge as it was an incredible price.
I am a regular hiker and use 25k mapping, both maps and electronic OS. I have a Fenix 7, which topo maps are poor, unless you buy their 25k maps at over 300 quid.
So I bought talkytoaster topo pro map.
So at first the map was jerky, with a turquoise background, so I emailed Mike, as it looked nothing like his screenshots.
Mike got in touch very quickly, he told me to disable all garmin topo maps and make sure screen res was high.
The immediate effect was incredible, wow.
So I took a quick 6 mile hike and it was incredible, all turns worked, map was detailed, contours clear, place names clear, it was every bit as good as most the OS maps I have used.
If you have a garmin, then you would be a fool not to use talkytoaster maps, and a bigger fool if you bought garmin maps.
Really is a great map.

Hi Steven, thank you for your very kind review, it is appreciated. However, just one thing, my name is Martin, not Mike ;-)

First class mapping

Well what can I say apart from OUTSTANDING!

Spoke with TalkyToaster one day, downloaded the link the next day and went out for a hike the day after and impressed I was and for someone who has very high standards as I do I don't say this very often.

The quality on my Garmin unit is just bloody amazing and I would urge any outdoorsy person to upload it to their unit.

Made a huge difference to my hiking thank you Martin, would recommend no hesitation whatsoever.

Recently bought a Talkytoaster TOPO map.

Recently bought a Talkytoaster TOPO map for my new Garmin touch 35. Installed OK, but then had a little issue that required clarification. Sent an email to Talkytoaster outlining my concern, rating the problem as 'low priority. Had not long shut down my laptop, when I had a phone call from Talkytoaster, and we went through my problem there and then, plus some tips on the new Garmin.

This is the 2nd time that I have talked to Talkytoaster ref: an issue. On both occasions very helpful. Highly recommend Talky Toaster.

Best Electronic Topo Maps Around

I've used Martin's maps previously and they are invaluable given the ease with which you can zoom in and out without the map becoming pixelated / blurred. Always a great service and any issues he is more than happy to help.

Super, simple products

Martin's maps are really excellent and so easy to download and install. 5 minute job at most. I've just added Canary Islands to my Britain+Ireland, France, Spain and Italy. Great after sales support also IF you were to need it. Maps make my hiking holidays so much more enjoyable
