Don't know - interesting thought!

Not the right/full answer but it does display openstreetmap.org on boot,
with a progress bar as it reads it.

How are you cutting the tiles out? I use osmcut for this, now, having
tried osmosis previously, and this does indeed cut the ways at the boundary.
If you're interested I could send you the shell file I use to generate a
fresh garmin map - currently this does Europe, some contours, & africa,
to a 470K gmapsupp.img file. This is now becoming slow to load & my
e-trex has been observed to crash on rare occasions :( so I'll be
dropping Africa after September..)
