Hi Brendan
More just a remark.
I was also interested in rolling my own mkgmap at one stage, but I
also use the DEM/topo (SRTM) information and refreshing the OSM data
is kind of expensive over a mobile network!
My biggest pet peeve was that the Garmin device doesn't show road
surface (like as a dashed line), but will happily exclude unsealed
from routing decisions. I have been using it to make route/OSM/imagery
update decisions as I wander around.
OSMand can be set to show surface. It can also display access. I have
it set up that way for my walking.
Cheers

Prompted by Bob's post about alternativaslibres.org
<http://alternativaslibres.org> error file this morning (jogged my
memory, thanks Bob).
I use the alternativaslibres.org <http://alternativaslibres.org>
Australian maps for my Garmin GPS and Basecamp, so it is good to see
other Aussies using that site.
We used to have garmin.openstreetmap.nl
<http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl>, and in my opinion that was the best
OSM Garmin map data for AU. Frequently updated, good clear carto on
Basecamp, and clear map on GPS unit with decent file size. Sadly that
site broke in June last year and looks unlikely to return.
You can still get a map from them .. but it has to be the entire country.
I'm currently using the alternativaslibres.org
<http://alternativaslibres.org> Australian maps for now, but my
Basecamp really chugs when using it (probably the DEM), and I'm
missing the simplicity of the cartography from
garmin.openstreetmap.nl <http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl>.
Are there any other good and current (and possibly free) Garmin
Australian maps out there?
Is anyone interested in producing Garmin data (Mkgmap) for Australia
or Oceania, but need help with processing/hosting? Please DM me.
I'll update the list on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download#Oceania
Cheers,
