Garmin has replaced Mapsource with Basecamp as the default mapbrowser. It has improved features like 3D (not available on Openfietsmap, choose in Map
Views 2D map - Ctrl+2), better track management, filtering road or
waypoint types and better elevation profiles. However, routing is only
compatible with the latest GPS devices (Etrex 10/20/30, Montana,
GPSmap62, Oregon x50). For other devices, Mapsource is recommended. Display settings
