+Kobechill Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Dear geocachers, After a while geocaching without any map with my garmin etrex 30, i want to add a map of Belgium on my gps. I bought a memory card of 8Gb wich should be enough. The problem is... I don't want to spend alot of money on it. So i discoverd OpenStreetMaps. I can easily download a region of my city or my whole country, but the document i download is .OSM and my gps cant read that sort of files. only gpx i guess is there a way i can convert it into gpx? on an easy way and with a safe program? or do you know an other site where i can get free maps (but then in gpx files) I have been searching a long time on the internet but cant find anything (goodlooking ~save) Thank you Kobe Quote Link to comment
alandb Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Try this site for OSM maps precompiled for Garmin: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download Quote Link to comment
+hobgoblinkiteflier Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You can download the data from OpenStreetMap and compile your own maps, but some clever people have done this already. Try http://www.navmaps.eu/ The file type is .img and you drag and drop that to your GPS when connected to your PC in mass storage mode. Quote Link to comment
