[OSM-talk] OSM on Ubuntu UK podcast

[Florian Steiper]

Hello,

I know the answer ;)

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin
This is the description how to make your own maps for the garmins

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
Here are ready to use maps for the garmin units.

Simply copy the gmapsupp.img into the garmin-folder on your GPS. 
Sometimes you need to rename it from some other name into gmapsupp.img.

If you want an up-to-date very small area you can use the export 
function of the slippy map at www.openstreetmap.org.
Select a (rather small) area as your view, click on export, select 
OpenStreetMap XML data.

Save the file,

process it with mkgmap.

upload to your GPS

be happy :)

ciao

  Florian
