Thanks for sending the alternatives and blog! The Edge is a small-ish screen bike computer. the 820 was until a few days ago in the newest generation so I was surprised at how sluggish it was with the OSM maps.
Here's a link to the default cycle routing map it uses, clearly OSM Based. They don't update as frequently but must do some QA/QC on the data. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/169655#overview There is a setting for map detail, but it didn't seem to hide much of what was bogging down the rendering, e.g. buildings, addresses, etc. On Thu, Jul 5, 2018 at 1:31 PM Martijn van Exel <[email protected]> wrote: > There is a lightweight alternative at > http://www.gmaptool.eu/en/content/maps-garmin-fenix but that is really > more geared towards Fenix watches..
