After too long, we’ve finally released an updated Garmin OSM map for the UK. As well as the standard map (suitable for all users), we’ve also managed to release a version with routing information too, which will be useful for those who would like to use the navigation features of their Garmin GPS.
Some of the routing data (also supplied by OpenStreetMap) is a little experimental still, so it may not produce perfect results, but it’s certainly well worth trying. We should also point out that the version of the map with routing data is now well over 256MB (it’s actually around 300MB), which means if you only have a 256MB memory card in your Garmin, it will no longer fit. If you really don’t have the space, we are still producing the standard Garmin OSM map too for your use.
Finally, we *know* that the canal and cycle maps are woefully out of date; we’ve had some technical difficulties with the tools we use to create these maps, and continue to work on this problem; we hope to release updates to both very soon, especially for those of you about to embark on your summer holidays; we’ll post here on the main website when the updates are ready…
As always, head to the Garmin OSM Maps download page for more information, and the links to download the new maps.
