I have just loaded some Opensource maps to my Garmin Etrex 20 that are free of charge. :D
Now I reckon that these are possibly not as good as the Garmin branded maps but they are much better than the standard basemap that comes with the unit.
The detail is, in my opinion, pretty flippin' good. Now I can see where the woods are for the trees....;)
The website is http://talkytoaster.info/ukmaps.htm
Having the files emailed to me a month ago has not produced any spam mail from this guy and I got round to loading them on the Etrex today without a hitch following his instructions here http://talkytoaster.info/free-uk-maps-faq.htm
I am not affiliated with this site other than quite impressed with the resource and thought it might be of interest to others, don't forget a paper map and a compass should be your main nav kit, even my Tom Tom got it very wrong in Spain and tried to send us over a 40 foot cliff in the camper!
