Can someone please point me in the direction of a freebie map of India for my Origon !

 

Cheers

You can compile your own from OSM data here don't know what the coverage will be like though.

I have this site bookmarked .... but never used it so not sure what they are like. But worth a look.

You can get a map directly from CloudMade which uses OSM data.

 

However I didn't like the formatting of the map and downloaded the tiles I wanted for myself. It was straighforward, and if I remember how I did it I'll post it here.

I've used this site for Norway maps before which were very good, Indian maps are listed, but I have not used them.

I can't find the scripts I used on my PC - looks like they went when it was rebuilt. I can't locate them on the internet either, but perhaps I need to modify the search criteria.

 

There was a batch file you had to edit to name the country, then it would download the OSM tiles, create a gmapsupp.img for the Garmin GPS and create the files for Mapsource.

 

If you're stuck I can put my map of India created in July somewhere accessible.
