Thank you for the replies gents. I'm looking for digital maps of Chile with contour information. As I'm a bit pushed for time (we're leaving next week and still lots to organise) I was hoping to find pre-built maps, so I looked into http://osm.blog.mantlik.cz/ with great expectations - unfortunately distribution seems to be an issue and the torrent download speed it won't be downloaded before next week... Other providers of pre-compiled Garmin maps listed on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download#Worldwide provide contours only for European countries, so I'm a bit stuck.
