Routable Maps for Garmin

From this site you can download for free Garmin software and device compatible maps of various countries of the world, which have been generated from OpenStreetMap data and are distributed under the Open Data Commons Open Database License, which allows you to copy, distribute and modify the data.

All maps can be installed onto your PC or uploaded to a Garmin GPS or navigator, enabling you to plan your routes from your desktop and then use the same maps on your device. All maps are routable, even tracks, and a topographic version (with contour lines) is also supplied. A version for trucks, avoiding the use of routes not suitable for such vehicles, is also available.

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project which aims to create a map of the Planet with free geographic data open to anyone who wants it. Data (roads, POI's, rivers, etc.) is submitted by thousands of volunteers either collected with gps receivers from the areas visited or drawn using aerial imagery. Everyone can participate in OpenStreetMap and add information to the map.

Although more complete each day, OpenStreetMap project is still unfinished. You will therefore most probably find areas not mapped or even containing errors. The good new is that you can fill in these gaps yourself. If you want to join us, you can download our Beginners' guide from here. You'll discover how easy it is!

Hello, I downloaded maps for Japan and when I try to open the zip file, it says "unable to open, it is an unsupported format" (I'm using a macbook)

will I not be able to use the map?

Thank you!
Admin: What is the exact name of the map you have downloaded? I will check it

Actually, I figured out how to open it, thank you!

Can I look at the japan map now at least on my laptop? I haven't installed it on my Garmin yet

I put the Japam (international) in the Resources folder in BaseCamp as the instructions say, but not clear on how to actually view the map on my laptop.

Thank you
Admin: You need BaseCamp installed on your laptop. Then open BaseCamp and within it select the desired map (map product on BaseCamp menus)

Thank you for that.
I had downloaded Basecamp, and also the open source Japan map.

I'm just not seeing how to get the open source map onto the basecamp application.

I tried "Import into my Collection", under "file" in basecamp, but it doesn't let me import the map file.
Admin: If you have followed instrucions, map must be already available in BaseCamp. I can't remember the exact menu entry now, sorry. It must be somethin like View->Change to product or so.
