Hallo I have a Garmin 705 for my bike and its lost a map for British Isles. Can the maps here be downloaded onto a micro sd card and are they any good for cycling asked 13 May '11, 19:09  peter47 edited 13 May '11, 19:16  SomeoneElse ♦ |

The answer is yes. Go to http://talkytoaster.info/ukmaps.htm and read carefully. The appropriate file can be downloaded, renamed and loaded onto your micro sd card in a folder called Garmin. Insert in GPSr and away you go. As to whether its any good for cycling - probably only as good as any other map. answered 13 May '11, 20:14  gumpa |
One good option for Garmin maps for the UK is Andy Gates' Munky map. Just download the file These maps are for all of the UK and Ireland, and include contour lines and support routing. These maps have a customised style, which uses standard UK colours for roads etc, plus they highlight some things which are useful for cyclists, eg cycleways and bike shops. answered 13 May '11, 21:14  Vclaw |
If you want a UK OSM Map with Cycle paths and routable, then I followed the OSM wiki and created one. So if you want a UK OSM including Cycle Paths - current as of Jan 2013 then download from here answered 14 Jan '13, 16:30  fsman |
