How to create free custom maps for Garmin devices —Open Street Map
As many big fans of outdoor adventures, I’m using a Garmin GPS watch with maps. The great thing about Garmin is its “open” system. Basically, you can pimp your device easily. The main advantage is on mapping setup. By default, the devices are loaded with Garmin maps which are not updated automatically, and which are not available (or very poor) in some parts of the world.
I made the choice to upgrade my Garmin watch with OpenStreetMap which is much better in many cases, and available everywhere.
The process is a little bit technical but not much. I will try to explain and make it clear. By following the below steps 👇, you will be able to create new maps “on-demand”.
