Me too.  I bought my GPS receiver for Geocaching, but I also love maps
and quickly realised that the only good maps for my Garmin were based on
OSM.  Nowadays OSM has become much more important than Geocaching for
me, though.  I try to only go caching in places that could do with some
mapping.

It looks like they are still using Google by default in the big map,
though.  I kept meaning to make a post in the forum to try to convince
them to switch to OSM by default.  OSM is often better and contains
things that are actually useful for cachers like footpaths.  I'm sure
many of them like maps and would become OSMers like me.
