If, however, you are looking for maps that you can use on a day to day basis, you would be better to preuse the complete list of Garmin download options at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download which offers a number of other sources, including Mapomatic<http://www.mapomatic.net/garmin-maps-download/>(hence the advert addition to the subject line). We are providing free quarterly updates to 3 main UK Maps at this point: - Standard UK OSM Map for Garmin - UK OSM Cycle Map for Garmin - UK OSM Canal Map for Garmin The last one is a new feature we launched this week; and it emphasises the UK canals and rivers, and include any useful POIs along those canals / rivers that are within the OSM database. Any requests for additional countries to be covered are welcome in our forums. Stephen Mapomatic
