OpenStreetMap 開放街圖
My wife have recently been on a holiday in Europe, and one of the things she brought back was a Garmin Nüvi 50 Car Navigation System (with preinstalled maps of western Europe with speed camera information). Western Europe map is close to useless for me, so I quickly dived into the fountain of wisdom called the OpenStreetMap wiki, as well with other GPS and Garmin sources
After trying a bit different sources, copying maps in different formats to different places on my GPS I found the following to work:
- Go to Garmin Dashboard WebResource
- Install the plugin they suggest
- Go to garmin.openstreetmap.nl
- Select the map regions of your interest, along with stylesheet, etc, and generate
- Download the gmapsupp.img file, zipped
- Unpack it to Garmin Device root.System\ folder
- Replace your gmapsupp.img over the existing gmapprom.img
I liked the interface of garmin.openstreetmap.nl, the only thing that wasn’t completely clear to me was source age (are they generated from minutely updates? daily updates? weekly updates?
I am now just looking for an opertunity to take my GPS for a spin to see how good the maps are. AND: When I see something wrong on the GPS, I can take up my iPhone or iPad and correct it on the fly with Go Map!!, that way next time I download a map, it’s already corrected.
Next step will be to find out how I get POI displayed in a zane way on my Garmin Nüvi 50 device

In http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=2625&p=1 Lambertus wrote “I’m aiming for worldwide coverage on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl and hope to update these each week”. In my experience you can expect an update once a month.

Thanks for the feedback
I have experienced a few “bugs” in the map, and already corrected some. A few new POIs have been added and of course a few more streets. I’ll aim to update my map from time to time - and keep looking for routing mistakes to fix turning restrictions and other details. Next tool would be a mapdust tool for iPhone to make notes where I need to go back in JOSM later to fix
