We’re now ready to start our beta test of our UK OSM Garmin map. If you are interested in trying and providing feedback, on both the actual map file, but also the instructions on how to load them too, then please contact us.
However, please first register in the forums, and then please email us at info@mapomatic.net with the following information;
- Your forum username
- Your Garmin model (or models)
- How much internal or external memory your Garmin has
- Whether you already have additional maps installed
We will then be in touch with you to confirm whether you are able to join the beta test.

Trimble, who produce both GPS hardware and have a geocaching service (with monthly fee) for selected mobile phones have launched a Series 60 client for free! It’s available here. We look forward to testing this over the next few months and hope to report back on how it performs.
Although the software is free, as is a basic subscription to Geocaching.com, this application will use a data connection, and hence maybe best suited to those with decent data plans.
Have you tried this software? Discuss it in our forums here.

A lot of work has been going on behind the scenes to automate the creation of these maps, and also the backend support to allow us to release these maps securely. We’re hoping to be able to announce a beta program for these maps in the near future to ensure there are no major problems with these maps before we start making them available. Please keep an eye on the homepage, and look out for further announcements in the forums.

We’ve launched our own forums to allow users and developers to discuss all aspects of this website, the products and projects we will be offering, and general chat about mapping, GPS devices, and other related activities (eg geocaching).
Join us at forums.mapomatic.net, although you will need to register a username and password to be able to join in the discussions.

We’re looking at providing a range of maps suitable for use of various devices. Right now, we’re working on providing a map that can be installed to selected Garmin GPS devices, covering the whole of the UK & Ireland, using data provided by OpenStreetMap. The picture above, from Google Earth, shows the area this map will cover.
More details, including a mockup of the data in the rest of the article…
