<p>Hi Brendan</p>
<p>More just a remark.<br>
</p>
<p>I was also interested in rolling my own mkgmap at one stage, but
I also use the DEM/topo (SRTM) information and refreshing the OSM
data is kind of expensive over a mobile network!</p>
<p>My biggest pet peeve was that the Garmin device doesn't show road
surface (like as a dashed line), but will happily exclude unsealed
from routing decisions. I have been using it to make
route/OSM/imagery update decisions as I wander around.</p>
<p>Cheers<br>

<div>I use the <a href="http://alternativaslibres.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">alternativaslibres.org</a> Australian
maps for my Garmin GPS and Basecamp, so it is good to see
other Aussies using that site.</div>

</div>
<div>We used to have <a href="http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl"
moz-do-not-send="true">garmin.openstreetmap.nl</a>, and in
my opinion that was the best OSM Garmin map data for AU.
Frequently updated, good clear carto on Basecamp, and clear
map on GPS unit with decent file size. Sadly that site broke
in June last year and looks unlikely to return.<br>

<div>I'm currently using the <a
href="http://alternativaslibres.org" moz-do-not-send="true">alternativaslibres.org</a>
Australian maps for now, but my Basecamp really chugs when
using it (probably the DEM), and I'm missing the simplicity of
the cartography from <a href="http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl"
moz-do-not-send="true">garmin.openstreetmap.nl</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any other good and current (and possibly free)
Garmin Australian maps out there?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone interested in producing Garmin data (Mkgmap) for
Australia or Oceania, but need help with processing/hosting?
Please DM me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll update the list on <a
