Garmin Maps Download

OSM on Garmin on Colorado

If you want to download our Garmin maps of the UK, then there are 2 options right now…

  • If you mainly use your Garmin GPS for geocaching, walking, or driving, we recommend our standard UK Garmin OSM Map.
  • If you mainly use your Garmin GPS for cycling, we recommend our UK Garmin OSM Cycle Map, which highlights all OSM known cycle routes.

You can download the files using the links above.

To use these files:

  1. We recommend you to take a full backup of your GPS before you start.
  2. Please note you can only have one supplemental map file called on a memory card, and this procedure will overwrite any existing maps stored there.
  3. You’ll need to download your preferred map, and unzip it to create a file called gmapsupp.img
  4. You need to copy this file to your memory card (we do not recommend putting this file on the internal memory of your GPS *), either by connecting your GPS to your computer, or via a memory card reader (this is likely to be faster).  The file must be located in a directory called Garmin.
  5. Cleanly disconnect from your PC, and power on your GPS.
  6. Depending on your GPS unit, you may need to go into the map settings and select to turn on the new map.
  7. Enjoy!

If you have any questions, or problems, please head to our forums and ask.
