When I download the windows version suitable for Basecamp, is there any way I can have more detail included? I see topographic lines and more rivers etc online at openstreetmap.org than I see in the Basecamp install. Is there a way of getting this additional detail? thanks Alan

you had "garmin.openstreetmap.org" in your question - I have replaced that by "garmin.openstreetmap.nl" which is the popular OSM-based Garmin map download site which you likely mean. There is no site garmin.openstreetmap.org .

You can create your own Garmin maps from OSM data using "mkgmap" with as much or as little detail as you like. I wrote a simple example here but there's also more detail on the links from there and in the OSM wiki.

That sounds just what I am after - thanks - I'll do some work on that.

BTW what is the 'come over and cast your vote' line for - what am I voting on and where do I do it?

You can "vote up" answers that are good answers to your question and "vote down" ones that aren't. If something answers your question there's a tick that you can click to say so.

I think that come over and cast your vote is referring to the licence change that was voted on several years ago?? not sure why it's still there

@andy mackey: where is this notice?

(23 Feb '18, 20:21) aseerel4c26 ♦

@aseerel4c26: This is the email i got via OSM (from you) and illustrates the "Don't forget to come over and cast your vote" which i believe is a relic of licence change.

@andy mackey: thanks, the notice is clearly about my comment. It asks you to vote up (if you like it) my comment.

@alanmcd: voting works with the thumbs up/down icons beneath answers and comments (only up). See also the FAQ.

@andy mackey: Sure, I saw the screenshot, and merged it into your comment above ("This" is linked). :-)

If the different downloads on garmin.openstreetmap.nl do not suit you, you can use other OSM-based Garmin maps. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download .

Basecamp ( and some Garmin devices) have a setting for you to vary the amount for detail shown. Have a look at my answers to this question, The answer with the picture illustrates the setting in Basecamp. https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/62086/why-dont-roads-show-up-on-osm-map-in-base-camp
