Hello Ernst, I tried to find my way through, but found it was extremely difficult. Lastly I was successful. Download IMG-files made of OSM excerpts precompiled by computerteddy, use mkgmap to combine them, use a hexdump to find the Product ID, (look for a template to learn which) patch the registry, use the map in mapsource, mark the map with the map-tool, mark the marked maps in the tabbed list for upload, (yes, you read right) upload the selected maps to your device.
It's a long chain of things to do. Most OSMers seem to be successful without mapsource, so there is no-one to support you. Best to use a GPS-receiver with SD-card. No fumbling with mapsource. Great.
