[OSM-Talk-ZA] OSM as Garmin Basemap on new outdoor devices?

[Grant Slater]

I have found the map:

"Recreational Map of Africa" http://www.garmin.co.za/garmin_maps.php
(download near the bottom)

"This map covers 58 African countries and territories. This is a
non-routable map that includes in exess of 82,000 POIs with over
15,000 shops and shopping centres, 9,300 restaurants and bars, 8,800
car parks, 7,800 schools and universities, 6,600 accommodations and
many more.

 Grant
