Have edge 1000...old one. Haven't engaged it other than turning it on and just riding for years; forgotten any deeper manipulations and so many bugs originally, one finds something that works and just keeps with it [not learning the fuller capabilities of said device; pretty typical with all modern devices I think and pretty scary with on-line banking, ha]. Simple search of this forum turns up dated threads and not the info I need. Soo...

I Plan a trip to Europe this summer. Would like to upload a street map of Europe to the edge 1000, especially through major cities. Is the dcrainmaker site still the best instructions on obtaining cross continent maps [how extensive are the base maps included on the original 1000 anyway, 2015 vintage]. Garmin website offered nothing useful for me that I saw and not sure of what works or not anyway.

Guess I've just used the basemap all these years; not sure. I turn the device on, and I get a 'Unable to Unlock map' notice before it goes to the main menu. Hasn't affected my ride...so just ignored it all these years. Can still navigate, load bike club maps and such.

I'm assuming I will have to load a street map of Europe to use it there.
