What’s bods’ latest favourite site to easily download and install reasonably up-to-date, routable OpenStreetMap from?
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'll just tag along, if that's OK!
Also to add that a pal has had success getting maps from here ... https://www.userbeam.de/ However, I've tried and although the gmapsupp file downloads OK, it will not open via Garmin mapping software!
gmail.supp is for loading into a device only, it won’t open in Basecamp without the device attached, and only then if the map header is set to “visible in Basecamp”

Thanks for that. The gmapsupp files have been transferred to the data card in the Zumo 550 but no sign of them when I fire it up. It may well be an issue with my laptop but I'll get together with my pal at some point and check things out.

Is there a way round this? Yes, you could take a lap top with you and faff about changing the names of the various files as you need them (or use an internet caff) but I suspect there's a simpler way?

So, an update! I've solved the issue, I think? It would appear that the unit (550 or indeed any Garmin unit) will only recognise ONE gmapsupp file. I'm not quite sure why that is or how it decides which one but it does seem to be the case. I tried changing the name of the file, removing the gmapsupp suffix and downloaded another gmapsupp to the card and bingo, there it was!

I am not quite sure I understand this, Peter. I have separate Open Street Maps of the whole of France, German and Benelux on my Nav V, VI and XT all together on one single micro-SD card in each device. I simply go into the installed maps and select the country map I want. I installed each country’s map onto the single micro-SD card with Map Installer. As I don’t know one end of a PC / Mac from another, it must have been easy to do.
That seems too simple an answer, so I guess I’ve misunderstood something?
Do the file names have the gmapsupp.img suffix, Richard?

Good question….
