Is it possible load the OpenStreetMap on a Garmin nüvi 42? If it's possible where can I find the map to download and copy to the GPS device? Thank you! asked 22 Apr '14, 19:27  Yunare Maia |
One Answer:
In short,yes! You need to do a few things. First you create an .osm file. See eg. Download.geofabrik.De for the area you are interested in. Then use a software like mapuploader to create the gmapsupp.IMG file. This you copy into the Nuvi`s map directory a (or use the garmin Mapinstall software to copy this file). answered 22 Apr '14, 20:25  wilda69 1 Generating own maps is way to complicated for the average user. Especially since there are already many pre-generated OSM maps for Garmin available. (22 Apr '14, 20:40) scai ♦ |
If you search here for Nuvi you'll find lots of similar previous questions. Do the answers to those help?
