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 NĂ¼vi series offers tracking.

However, the motorbike units (zumo) do offer tracking, are water 
(splash) proof and also allow navigation by voice. They may be a little 
heavy for use on a bicycle... and they are also rather expensive... but 
again.. you can load the OSM map on the devices and see where there is 
data already and where there isn't.

ciao

  Florian
