Do the navigation add-ons for the N810 do bluetooth voice directions?
If you pair a bluetooth headset with the N810 it uses it as the speaker

Hello,
As much as I know the Garmin navigation units can load the OpenStreetMap
data that is produced by mkgmap.
sadly only the top model in the Nüvi series offers tracking.
However, the motorbike units (zumo) do offer tracking, are water

I'm not interested in routing but would really like to display OSM maps on
it and it be a stand alone GPS recorder (for mapping use and occasional

If you're willing to spend some extra money, maybe you should take a
