Using OpenstreetMap Maps with Garmin Software on the Mac

buzb · 09-15-2008, 10:08 PM

Hi,

I'd really like to figure out a way to use openstreetmap generated maps with the Garmin software on the Mac - Garmin Training Center and RoadTrip.

Is this possible, or are these programs limited to Garmin's proprietary maps?

Thanks! and all the best,

Have you tried Bobcat?

Hi Geek!

Thanks for your reply! I've tried both Bobcat and RoadTrip, which is an updated version of Bobcat, and haven't had any luck with loading non proprietary maps.

Am I missing something?

Thanks! and all the best,

Hi Buz, welcome to the site!

You might be out of luck. There isn't any PC software that does this either.
