Why to use Mapwel ?

The creation of a GPS map involves drawing the map, conversion of the map data into the GPS’s native format and uploading of that data into the GPS. Mapwel is the only available software that allows the user to do the above three steps with a single software tool.

  • Use Mapwel’s WYSIWYG workspace to create complete maps for Garmin GPS with turn-by-turn navigation, filled areas, all types of lines and roads, map features, cities, exits and points of interest with addresses. Do not limit yourself to just tracks and waypoints. 

  • Use Mapwel’s import capabilities to open existing maps in various formats (ESRI shape files, OpenStreetMap files, for example).

  • Use the built-in editor for creation of your own fill patterns, lines and symbols.

  • When your map is finished you can easily upload your map directly into the GPS. Mapwel allows you to add your map to other maps already present in GPS memory. With Advanced version you can even export map into the GPS native IMG file format or into the widely used KML and MP format.

Licence Levels
Registered Mapwel
software is available in two levels:

  1. Basic, for single GPS unit. Basic version allows user to upload map only into the GPS with ID that was used for registration. This version is intended for personal use.

  2. Advanced, for unlimited number of GPS units. Advanced version requires one master GPS (the one used for registration) to check validity of password single-time after Mapwel installation or re-installation. User may then attach any other compatible GPS and upload maps into it. This version is intended for personnel or organizations that own number of GPS units or need export file feature. Advanced version allows to create routable maps and export maps into IMG, KML and MP format and supports batch conversion mode. You have to have the registered GPS by hand when you upgrade or re-install Mapwel.

Registration (Purchase)
To turn demo version into full version without limit, user needs purchase password and enter it into the Mapwel. No additional download is needed. Registration password is derived from the GPS ID number. 

Free Map Loader
Mapwel has built-in uploading of maps into the GPS unit. However, there is also a stand-alone program called MapUpload available for download free of charge. It allows user to upload their IMG map files created in other software into the Garmin GPS. MapUpload has capability of adding your maps to maps that are already present in the GPS memory.
