Good Montreal maps for Garmin GPSMAP 62sc?

[+crunchewy]

We are going to be visiting Montreal this summer and I'd like to do some geocaches while there, but the selection of maps for Canada on GPSFileDepot is limited. Is there a source for good free maps for this area of Canada somewhere?

I have been using OpenStreetMaps on my Garmin GPS. http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Type Montreal, Quebec into the search box on the left sidebar, then click the link in ''GeoNames' to see the sort of detail you'll get. They are free .

Hmm. That looks good, but what format do I export in order to get a map usable on my 62sc? I presume there is some conversion that needs to be done? What tool do you use to do that?

 

EDIT: looking around I see there are some sites that use it and provide maps for download that work with Garmin GPSs, including all of Canada. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

I got the map installed from osmmaps.com and it is certainly much better than the basemap, but while it shows lots of streets and such, it doesn't have names for nearly any of them. So it's not ideal. Still, better than the default one.
