Have you looked at osm.wiki/Garmin
and osm.wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin and
osm.wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download ?
Do you need it in MapSource or just in you Garmin device?
Do you have MapSource running?
In the download-page there is a table of map-providers and a column indicating whether they support MapSource "Mapsource installer".

The raw XML data can be quite hard to work with (unless you are a programmer). It is easier to follow the links provided by wieland. From those pages you can just download files ready made for Garmin devices.

Ok one more thing.... I did a 300 mile road trip and i used the trace option to load where i've been, OpenStreetMap does not have most of the roads I've been. since it is so long it is taking mr for ever to edit the roads and save them here. my question is.... is there a way to just use my traces and automatically make the new road in OpenStreetMaps and then I just make small changes after? or the only way to do it is to do it little by little, dot by dot? its just very exhausting to do it all and next week im going on another 300 mile trip where most of it is going to be new too. I want to help this maps get better but there is got to be a better way!!! to make it easier

You can't just import GPX files, but you could try a faster editor if you want.
JOSM and Merkaartor are both faster than Potlatch (because they work offline). Be sure to read their manuals before you start working with them. They are a bit more professional.
osm.wiki/JOSM
http://merkaartor.be/
GPX files have way to much inaccuracies, and they contain too much dots for the OSM database to handle. There is also no way to tag them automatically.

There are many, many ways to download OSM-Maps to Mapsource and from there to your Garmin device.
It very much depends on what you want to use the maps for: Driving, Bicycling, Mountain Biking or Rambling!
For the last three the easiest is to use the openMTBmap at
http://openmtbmap.org/download/
There is a deatailed, accurate, and extensive online documentation available on the pertinent web pages. It is brilliant but so are other providers.
Have fun and let me know if you require any further assistance about openMTBmap.

For Garmin maps, I recommend this website: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
Pick the country from the drop down lists, then enter your email address and click build my map.
You will soon get sent a link to download the map. This includes a version with a MapSource installer (called osm_routable_mapsource.exe), so download and run that, and the maps will appear in MapSource. You can then load the maps onto your Garmin GPS device.

Vclaw's comment made me check openMTBmap for Bolivia. It is not provided so my suggestion is useless.
Sorry

thats fine thank you everyone..... i want it for driving mostly.....Im going to try http://openmtbmap.org/download/ and see....

mtb is for bicycle, not (car) driving.
Actually the program to convert OSM-XML-data into garmin is mkgmap.

JOSM can convert a gpx-track into osm-data for further editing.
But be careful, often it is better to draw and connect by hand.
Or just upload the track as gpx for somebody else to draw.
If you still want to do it. Rightclick on the gpx-layer and "convert to data layer". Than cut the track into pieces (roads) and "simplify way" to reduce the number of nodes. You still have to connect to other roads.
