By far the best GPS Map video and tutorial I've found. Very much appreciated. I was looking for a way to get off-road trails onto the Garmin and this works perfectly. I do ADV motorcycle riding and this makes the gps so much more functional. While this doesn't use the openstreets from a download perspective, knowing about it allows me to contribute to the trail mapping if I find myself on trails that aren't currently mapped. Question though, I've noticed that no matter how many of these images I load the GPS can only find one of them, is this a known limitation?

I defined the map I wanted and extracted it following your instructions, received the email, then connected the eTrex, but NO WINDOW opened (I'm on a Mac). The Micro SD card I had, was bigger than the 32GB limit, so I removed it. Is that why no window opened on the Garmin? Thanks for any help! I want to use the eTrex in the Minnesota "northwoods" - the lake country on the Canadian border. About to leave for a month in the area, Voyageurs National Park, and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In VNP, navigating could be confusing with big lakes, so I decided to get the GPS. Again, I appreciate the excellent tutorial.
