i have recently acquired a gps unit. a garmin device. and i have been look at ways to use osm to add detail to the gps maps the unit uses.

i can find the cycling route to the place i need to get to in google maps but have not been able to find the culvert they have routed the bike route under the highway through in OSM.

i want to put it on my gps.

so my task as i understand it is to edit the osm for the area and add the relevant info to either a private map that my gps will be able to see, or an osm that anyone can see. of course not everyone will need to go to the place i have to go to. but. you know. if it is indeed the most intelligent route, then it’s worth sharing the information. if it’s not passable because it’s under 2 meters of snow, we could perhaps document that too.

and then transfer the file into the gps unit. bob’s your uncle, as they say.
