[OSM-talk] adding OSM maps to etrex legend cx

[Andy Allan]

Have you got a card in the microSD slot? If so, you can either pull it
out and stick it in a card reader, or else you can set the GPS to USB
mass storage mode. Either way then just drag the file over to the
right place. (My Venture Cx needed a firmware upgrade to enable the
mass storage mode, but it's worth it to save fiddling with the microSD
card)

Be careful with way linux handles writing to disk - you really do need
to unmount it cleanly. I spent many hours transferring the maps and
not working out why it didn't work before I realised how aggressively
it was caching the writes to the SD card. (Kubuntu)

You don't need sendmap or any other utility for this.

Cheers,
Andy
