[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2018-07-03

[Martijn van Exel]

There is a lightweight alternative at
http://www.gmaptool.eu/en/content/maps-garmin-fenix but that is really
more geared towards Fenix watches.. Still may be usable / nice for other
low-memory / small screen contexts. Actually I just blogged about
putting OSM maps on my 10 year old etrex..It can still be done :) -->

Interesting, I didn't know that the default Garmin map is now OSM based.
Is that also true for the car products? Edge is a bicycle device, right?--
