Directions: Creating your map from OSM data
These are generally the steps involved (also see the Softwaresection above): 1. Get OSM data: 1.1. The easiest way of all is to use the Export tab on the site. This will download the map you have currently on display. Choose the OpenStreetMap XML dataoption when downloading (active for zoomlevel >= 11). 1.2. If you want an entire country or maybe even the whole world, use the planet dumpor one of the many excerpts available. 1.3. You can use JOSMto select and download the data, then choose Sa...
Creating your own topographic maps
1. Main article: OSM Map On Garmin/Topographic maps
Installing direct to your GPS: The easiest way to install a map on your Garmin device is to put it in USB mass storage mode and copy the gmapsupp.img file(s) that you want to install to a directory called Garmin, or Map. If neither of these exist (such as on some Nüvi 1xxx models), create the latter. For more details on this see OSM Map On Garmin/M...
If you want to use just POIs from OSM (e.g. "amenities") on your Garmin device, along with the maps that Garmin provided, have a look at the "Using POIs from OSM along with Garmin Maps" page. Garmin also offers a free POI Extra packthat is generated out of OSM data (Europe) and released under ODbL.
Newer Generations of Garmin Devices can display raster maps via the KMZ capability and Birdseye view. Garmin's use of the KMZ format is rather limited and allows only for smaller maps. To create a KMZ file from a custom raster map is possible with MapTiler or using a Google Earth overlay. The proprietary JNX format of the Birdseye view on the other...
OSM maps should work on all Garmin devices which support uploading maps. These include the Colorado, eTrex Legend, eTrex Vista, eTrex Summit, eTrex Venture, GPSMAP, Nüvi, Zūmo, Oregon, Quest and Streetpilot ranges. If you know of any Garmin devices which support maps but do not work with OSM maps, please list them here.

Aug 7, 2019 · For virtually all of Garmin’s maps included on Edge/Forerunner/Fenix/MARQ series devices, the base map itself is OSM (OpenStreetMap). What differs is some of the special sauce Garmin adds atop it (heatmap type data), as well as the exact layers Garmin does or doesn’t display (how it looks, but also things like topographic lines).
