PURPOSE OF THE FORUM

Garmap sponsor this forum to generate relaxed and friendly support for Garmin GPS Receiving devices and Garmap mapsets in a non-threatening environment. Accordingly, we do not promote, support or criticise competing companies or their products.

SPIRIT

We facilitate and share advice on the forum in a spirit of mutual respect for fellow members. To ensure that members maintain and respect this ethos, administrative staff (members of the ‘admin group’ and moderators) may intervene on the forum when required.

In cases of persistent and wilful abuse of our code, the administrators will cancel the membership of the person concerned. Members themselves may report violations of the forum to the ‘admin group’ by using the private message function.

We have compiled a code of conduct (Terms of Service - TOS) to preserve and promote a harmonious environment. Please read the code bearing in mind that Garmap will amend the terms, whenever needed, to adapt to the changing environment.
