What exactly is the situation with the pre-installed maps? Can I also plan turns in Basecamp afterwards? How high is the level of detail of the maps? Is the TOPO TransAlpine + PRO preinstalled?
Several maps are installed on the Fenix 5x, the Garmin TopoActive Europe is relevant for hiking. With this, hikes can also be planned in Basecamp and played on the watch. BUT: in my opinion, the level of detail of these pre-installed maps is completely insufficient in the mountains (no contour lines, no summit designations, almost no paths). In Graubünden, I have almost no details outside of towns, and in the mountains it sometimes shows me nothing at all. What to do? You can buy the regular topo map from Garmin (expensive) or download an OSM map (free, better than ActiveEurope).Otherwise, SUPER watch!
