<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>OSMand can be set to show surface. It can also display access. I
have it set up that way for my walking.</p></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for the suggestion, but OSMand is for Android.

<div>I use the <a href="http://alternativaslibres.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">alternativaslibres.org</a>
Australian maps for my Garmin GPS and Basecamp, so it is

<div>We used to have <a href="http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">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" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">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 href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download#Oceania" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download#Oceania</a><br>
