Hi, if you wish to use OSM maps, then you need to install gps software that works with osm maps.

A few options are :

gosmore
Navit
Mapfactor Navigator Free

Of the three I recommend Mapfactor Navigator Free. this is easy to install and works pretty well.

If your intention was to update your commercial maps already installed on the Navman using OSM data, well you can't.

You will probably find the maps you already have work better than OSM maps anyway.


 
Cheers, Ian

Hallo everybody,
I’m a newbie and I’m confused.
Mine intention for joining OSM is to update mine Navman N20 with new information.
I have unlocked mine Navman with the unlock program. 
I have downloaded Planet Benelux osm.gz and extracted this.
But what do I do with the Planet Benelux osm. Pbf file?
 
And how can I use this to get the data into my Navman?
 
 
Greetings,
Thomas
