I guess garmin is not the right choice. I think I will get mio c230 which can be unlocked and then run gosmore on it, with OSM I won't need to run gosmore if I am able to convert osm maps to igo maps somehow.. possible? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
