Open Source Maps for the UK?

Post by SamCarter » 22 April 09 2:49 pm

Does anyone know of a good set of open source maps for the UK, suitable for a Garmin GPSr?

(Thanks to the forum I have the NZ ones, now at this link http://nzopengps.org/ )

I would try OSM maps. It looks like the coverage in the UK is pretty good. Just do a Google search and you will find free maps ready to go on your Garmin. Here is one for you http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php

This threadin the GC forum for the UK describes what you're after I think. The direct link to the maps is http://sites.google.com/site/talkytoasteruk/ukmaps.

The local UK forum at http://www.gagb.co.uk/forums/ is also a good place to try.
