Can’t thank Talkytoaster enough.

I was struggling to download a map of Sri Lanka to my Garmin- my fault entirely- so I messaged Talkytoaster at around 8.30 on a Sunday morning explaining my predicament. Within 10 mins I receive a phone call from Talkytoaster who resolved my issue in a minute.

I was totally taken aback by being called so quickly on a Sunday morning so I wholeheartedly recommend that if you want to a map don’t taste your time in looking at anyone else just use Talkytoaster

Excellent maps

A friend had a talkytoaster map on their GPS and I immediately wanted it on mine. It’s a lot clearer than the other big named rival, no pixilated or blurry images when zoomed in. Also Martin is super helpful and responded to my email straight away.

UK maps for Garmin Etrex22

I bought the British Isles maps for Garmin Etrex and the Basecamp version for PC. The e-mail instructions and videos were helpful for running through the install process and both installs were sucessful with no errors due to the clear instructions. The maps themselves are very good indeed and make route planning and subsequent on-device navigation in the field a good experience. These tools open up a world (or a country at least!) of opportunity for planning amazing walks and rides and are very good value for money. Highly recomended,

Talkytoaster recommandation

For Talkytoaster, I can and will also recommend the effort! The maps are wonderfully detailed and nicer than Garmin's own. At first it seems a bit difficult to download the maps and put them on my Fenix 8X, but Talkytoaster's service is great. The response speed is within a few hours and even though my question could also be found in the explanation on the website, the email remained simpathetic, friendly but above all clear in its explanation. I already had the cards on Fenix 5X, 6X and 7X but have now taken a bundle for 24 months.

Service Excellent

Service Excellent. I ordered 2 of the same map by mistake. Just as I'd realised what I had done, the payment already taken; I received a phone call from Martin. He had already realised my mistake and offered a full refund. How's that for looking after your customers. Shout-out to Martin for being so proactive, much appreciated!

Perfect solution to Garmin map upload issues

I recently bought a Garmin fenix 7 pro solar. I then spent three painful days trying to install the Garmin topo maps... lots of swearing and no success. What a nightmare. A quick google search assured me that this was a common issue and not just my inadequate technical ability.
Somewhere along my endless Google searching for a solution I saw someone mention talkytoaster maps. I had heard the name before and always with glowing reports so I had a look and not only did it look like the perfect solution to my problem but the maps looked infinitely better than the Garmin topo maps.
From purchase to complete install on my fenix took about half an hour and I'm not a very tech savvy person. Without a doubt probably the most comprehensive and easy to understand instructions I've ever received for anything ever!
Ten stars from me

Reply from Talkytoaster

I'm sorry that you are having issues installing the map, but I'm rather confused as to why you didn't reach out to me via the contact form or ticketing system on my site, in the first instance? I'm always happy to assist where I can.

As you can see from my other reviews my support is excellent.

You haven't supplied the order number or other infomation that I can use to identify your order; having this information would allow me to reach out to you directly via email or phone.

Some points:

1. Even Garmin's own maps cannot be installed via a phone (Android or iPhone) or iPad, so this is not an issue with the map.

2. I offer a free sample map to download and for customers to do a test installation so that you can be sure that you can installl the map yourself.

3. All over my site and on every relevant product page it clearly states that you need to use a computer to install the map, and I quote: "You cannot download the map using Android or IOS devices (phone, iPhone, Tablet or iPad), as there is NO way to install the map to most Garmin devices via IOS or Android." and "You cannot use an iPad/iPhone or an Android device to install the maps, ONLY a computer (Mac, Windows, Chromebook, or Linux)."

4. I offer a Remote Installation option (where I install the map to the device for you. This is available as either an intial map purchase or as an upgrade; where you have already purchased a self-install map). But you still need a computer (Mac or Windows computer).

Here's a link to the Remote Installation options: https://shop.talkytoaster.me.uk/product-category/remote-install-training-options

5. I have detailed step-by-step installation and configuration instructions on my site here: https://shop.talkytoaster.me.uk/maps/how-to-install-the-map

Please feel free to reach out to me via the Contact form or Ticketing system on my site, here: https://shop.talkytoaster.me.uk/contact-talkytoaster-2

As I stated before. I'm always happy to assist where I can.

Avoid Buying Garmin Outdoor Maps Plus. Talkie Toaster Customer Support by Martin Is rapid, concise and precise 🙏

Had a couple of questions regarding using the British Isles TT Topo Pro maps. I contacted Talkie Toaster via Instagram and Martin literally phoned me within 2 minutes, after a brief chat Martin explained exactly what I needed to do, that aside the conversation was very enlightening and most interesting, Martins enthusiasm to assist till your satisfied was notable. If I require more maps in the future I will happily purchase again with Talkie Toaster.

Great customer service

I have been geocaching for 13 years using Talkytoaster maps on various Garmin devices and can highly recommend them. I recently had a mapping issue setting up a new Garmin GPSMap67 and had a super quick response to my query from Martin ... a 5 star service!

Garmin 7 Pro wristwatch map download

I bought a Garmin 7 Pro wristwatch, to accompany my handheld 64st, and was nervous about downloading additional maps. However I watched GPS Training and his video relating to TalkyToaster gave me the confidence to download and install the UK map, having installed Android File Transfer.
The payment and download processes were simple and the map installation onto my watch even simpler. I now have the benefit of more detailed and clearer maps on my wrist and will be returning to Talky Toaster, later, to purchase and download state maps for use in the USA next year. Excellent service and, in the past, when I was struggling with my 64st map downloads Martin was on the phone to me within minutes and immediately resolved my (self-inflicted) issue. Fantastic customer service!

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.
