garmin zumo 395 openstreet maps help
 

hi guys, trying to avoid paying for the garmin genuine map as they are $$$$

im pulling my hair out trying to get the free open street map onto the device, has anyone had any luck on a zumo?

Paul, Garmin provide software for doing exactly this, it's called MapLoader. Link below. Just install it, download the OSM map you need and use the software to send it to the Navi.

... or go to Free worldwide Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap ,
download your maps and copy(!) them to the directory called "Garmin" on your device when connected a USB-drive to your computer.
Make sure not to overwrite files.

Go to mapp settings on your Zumo device and de-/activate maps you dis-/like.

Hi Arma, whats this 'Maploader' software ?? I cant find it or a link anywhere. Do you mean 'Map source' ??

you dont need that Maploader from Garmin. On OSM download the file gmapsupp.img (which you let them create (take care that it is not bigger than the max filesize for your device (4GB), so when creating the map on the page on the left they display the size and the number must be green (it changes when the filesize is to big to red).

Place this file in an Folder named Garmin best on an SD Card and plug it into your device... thats it...
