Garmin PNAs The maps are compatible with nearly all Garmin PNAs with a color screen (e.g. Legend/Vista HCx and Cx, 60/76CSx, Oregon, Colorado,Edge 705, Nuvi, Streetmap).
Garmin Mapsource (Windows based PC/Wine/ Mac) Mapsource compatible – I recommend using 6.16.1 (soon to be released). If you have not yet installed Mapsource – here is how to do it: http://openmtbmap.org/tutorials/install-mapsource/ You can have several Mapsource Versions installed – see here for a description (German only – I will translate too english later): http://www.naviuser.at/forum/showthread.php?t=826
Garmin Basecamp – Perfectly compatible starting with v3.
Qlandkarte GT (since version 0.17) – Cross Platform www.qlandkarte.org – no autorouting support though. Comes with most Linux distributions, binaries for Windows available, other platforms need to compile. Qlandkarte GT version 0.15.1 or greater now also runs on Windows Vista / 7.
PDA, Smartphone (Windows CE or ME) Also compatible with Garmin Mobile XT (installable to any Windows Smartphone) – Garmin Mobile XT does. If you don't want to buy Garmin Mobile XT there is also Glopus (as of version 2.02 beta or higher) and Qlandkarte M which you can try. Neither of the latter supports autorouting however. Some POI are not shown on Mobile XT. Areas and ways/roads/highways are all correctly shown.
Incompatibilities: Iphone, IQue 3600 (and others?), old Garmin handhelds without color screen and (micro)SD card. Any other program or PNA that doesn't support .TYP-files. (like TTQV, Compegps,….)

Spend a token to make the maps even better - Unterstuetz openmtbmap - fuer noch bessere Karten.
Can anyone confirm if these maps can be installed on an Android phone?
nope, they only work on above mentioned devices/software.
Hey guys!
I just found your page and I’m amazed about what you’ve here! “Chappeau” great work!
Now I have one simple question:
Does your maps work on Garmin Etrex Venture HC?
Thanks for your answer!
Well in theory yes, but limited memory makes it no fun, and maybe there are single tiles that are already too big to fit on the Venture. Also the processor of the Venture HC is a lot (really a lot) slower than legend HCx or Vista HCx.
Hello,
Here some Information to the compatibility, I found out after some investigations, with the map update 4/23/2010
Base Camp v3.0.2 Windows: Nothing notably
Base Camp v3.0.1 OSX: Huge differences at displaying the Map. Most of the lines are much finer than in the Windows version. Especially Motorways in high zoom levels are really bad. The routing is OK. Everything else is fully functional.
OS X Road Trip: All lines are displayed as in the Windows Version of Base Camp. The Routing is OK. Everything else is fully functional.
It is amazing to see the differences between OSX Base Camp and Road Trip. Even in the base map of Garmin there are differences.
Oregon 300. Without testing the routing during a MTB trail. Displaying the maps is as expected good. The auto routing seems to work well.
Zumo 660: Due to the higher resolution of the display some lines are hardly visible. There is an issue displaying motorways in high zoom levels. They just disappear. The routing works fine.
There is an issue to convert the maps for use in OSX with gmapi builder. I’ll post it and a workaround in the Mac Tutorial page.
Und nun noch in Deutsch:
Hallo hier einige Informationen zur Kompatibilität, die ich während einiger Untersuchungen mit dem Karten Update vom 23.4.2010 herausgefunden habe.
Base Camp v3.0.2 unter Windows : Nichts Auffälliges
Base Camp v 3.0.1 OSX: Große Unterschiede in der Darstellung der Kart. die meisten Linien sind viel dünner als in der Windows Version. Insbesondere Autobahnen in hohen Zoomstufen sind wirklich schlecht. Das Routing ist OK. Alles andere funktioniert.
OS X Road Trip: Alle Linien sind wie in der Windows Version von Base Camp dargestellt. Das Routing ist OK. Alles andere funktioniert auch.
Es ist erstaunlich die Unterschiede zwischen OSX Base Camp und Road Trip zu sehen. Auch in der Base Map von Garmin sind Unterschiede deutlich sichtbar.
Oregon 300: Ohne das Routing auf einem MTB Trial getestet zu haben. Die Darstellung der Karten ist wie erwartet und gut. Das Autorouting scheint gut zu funktionieren.
Zumo 660. durch die höhere Auflösung des Displays sind einige Linien schwer zu erkennen. Es gibt da ein Problem mit der Darstellung der Autobahnen in hohen Zoomstufen. Sie verschwinden einfach. Das Routing funktioniert gut.
Es gibt ein Problem beim Konvertieren der Karten für die Nutzung unter OSX mit dem gmapi builder. Ich werde dies und einen Work around auf der Mac Tutorial Seite posten.

Having recently bought a Garmin Dakota 20 and come across your site, I've found the GB map and contour lines work fine. There are some local paths and lanes missing from the map, so this excellent offering will spur me on to fill in some of the missing details on OSM.
Keep up the good work!
Just to confirm I managed to get a map loaded on Garmin Mobile XT runnining on My Nokia N95 8gb (Symbian OS v9.2, S60 3rd Edition)
Need to spend more time testing, but everything seems good so far
Under “Incompatibilities” you state “old Garmin handhelds without color screen and (micro)SD card”.
I have an original mono screen eTrex Vista, which has only internal memory (24MB ?). I uploaded to it a couple of sections of the GB map, without routing data. I have only panned and zoomed the map a bit as a quick test, but your maps seem to work with it just fine.
Well, you are not able to see the waytypes properly. Of course the map runs fine, but what appears to be a highway will be displayed as path and so on. So in effect it would take a long time getting used to it. Of course it’s fine to use Mapsource, upload routes and tracks, but the ways will be very difficult to distinguish, and some not shown at all I expect.
I suppose it depends on what you mean by ‘properly’. There seem to be a good variety of waytypes showing up, clearly distinguishable. Compared to the previous complete absence of anything other han public highways, this is MUCH better. Is there any way I can submit some screenshots ? (I do know how to capture the image.)
Maybe perfomance on older units has recently been improved as a side-effect of other changes ?
No I don’t think it’s possible to add photos here.
You could upload photos on my page on OSM wiki user page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Extremecarver
I can then upload them on here
Or you integrate them via imageshack and Co, I don’t know if that works though
Mac OSx page has been added
Thank you for this project. I tried it on Mapsource for windows and it worked fin. I would like to use it on my Mac (Macsource for Mac), but i don't know to install. I tried to use mapconvert (windows program to convert maps for mac) but i doesn't finds the installed maps. Any idea?
