    Thanks a million for this tutorial. I needed a map for Suriname and really didn't know how to fix this. I got to the Garmin page and it would cost me at least $250,- for a map covering South America. This tutorial is very accurate, simple and fast!! Keep up the good work! 🙂💪

    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).

    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.

      @@WebCacher It's a Garmin Montana 600, so about 6 to 8 years old. I used Garmin Leisure (latin1). The maps installed are a .JNX format. When I going into the Map Information, the map is "Enabled - Tannehill fzk/latin1 BBBike.org 27-Apr-2021". Tannehill is the name I gave it. I zoomed way in and still no map.

    I managed to download maps but cannot figure how to access them on my GPS (GPSMAP 64SX). Any ideas as I'm getting ready to drive over this thing in my car!!!

      In most models, there's some option in the settings that allows you to toggle the maps on and off.

    Emails arent being sent anymore. huge backlog. Never did get my file. "request is #41462 in the queue. The delay is approximately 172.8 days." Go to the lower left of the webpage and click on status and then you can see all the files people have requested as well as yours. There you can click on download. Thx for the video!
