once selected in the drop down, you must now select ALL the map segments (funny little rectangles and squares) from your new map by (click-dragging) your cursor from the very upper left corner of the map window to the very lower right corner of the window. you will also see your factory installed North America NT map set.ġ7. in the next window, select your new map (South America OSM) in the drop down. select your device in the drop down menu (it's likely the only one there), and click "continue".ġ6. plug your garmin into your computer with the USB cable. now, stop celebrating and let's get the map that is now installed in basecamp copied over to your garmin device. go to top level menu/maps, and select your new map (South America OSM for me).

keep family ID number the same, but if you download more OSM maps, increase the number by +1 each time to keep them all different in the bowels of your computer.) Click "modify" to complete renaming.ġ4. write your own name (i used South America OSM) in "name on computer", "name on device", and "folder name" (folder name should still have. select "OSM generic routable" in window, click "extra" in top menu, select "change map name and ID" in drop down.ġ3.
control click on the application to open first time (mac security requires you to do this - will open normal subsequent launches).ġ2. this will also keep you from having complications from duplicate file names, as all files coming from will be called "OSM generic routable".ġ1. using javawa GMTK, rename to whatever you would like (in my case, South America OSM). now the new map will show in garmin map manager and is installed in basecamp as "OSM generic routable", the default file name.ġ0. make sure it's an old one though! or just don't do anything. while garmin map manager is open, you can delete any old map versions or duplicates that might be there.

once at the server, you will see many file types to choose from, download to your desktop osm_generic_macosx.zip (this is the map installer for base camp for mac users).ħ. if you make a custom map, will ask for you email and send you a download link for the large maps that you create.Ħ. (or enable "manual tile selection" to create your own regional/continental map - i made a map for all of southamerica)ĥ. go to and choose the country map you would like to download - and download right there. (possibly the same guy as the open street project? not sure.)Ĥ. go to download and install JaVaWa GMTK, JaVaWa device manager from this nice dutch guy. download and install the additional garmin programs: garmin map install & garmin map manager, garmin POI loader (more about POI loader in a subsequent post.)ģ. install latest zumo firmware and latest version of basecamp.Ģ. it shouldn't be this hard to do this, but it was.Īnd let's not forget to thank garmin for making it so freaking nearly impossible that it takes: 4 garmin applications, 2 open source applications, two pretty smart guys about 20 email exchanges and a 3-hour video chat, and one really freaking awesome dutch geek-god to make these open source maps and applications available so you can install them. thank you to jeff smith, who spent 3 hours with me on video conference this morning helping me figure all this out. it may be different with other garmin devices, as they are not all designed/programmed alike. In this post, i'm going to give a summary of what one needs to do in order to load 3rd party open source maps from into a garmin zumo 660. and the alternative to means loading maps by country, often on PC/windows only platforms that suck the life out of your soul. garmin's south american maps are useless by almost all accounts online. awesome, almost to the point of wondering how garmin is going to adjust their business model to adapt to the inevitability of this content being better than their own. so donate after you realize how awesome these maps are like i did. from what i can tell, it's a dutch programmer who is doing it for donations. The open source mapping from is excellent. and basecamp, garmin's apple/mac friendly desktop user-interface, is far from being plug n' play. Garmin customer tech support, not surprisingly, is not in the business of giving 110% when it comes to you loading 3rd party maps that cost $00.00 on their devices. Firstly, i will say that in the year of planning, research, and to-do lists for my south america trip - the task of learning and installing a good south american map set onto my garmin zumo 660 was the most frustrating, feared, procrastinated, and unpleasant of anything else i have done or attempted to do.
