OK, thanks for your patience!
I have downloaded the relevant tiles from the link listed. I tried to load MapSource onto my computer twice but couldn't. Both times when the Garmin programme tried to run it just said I needed to have MapSource already.
I therefore followed the directions a couple of posts in on the thread and just created a Garmin folder on my microSD card. I didn't know if it would work since it is a 16GB card but on testing the eTrex offered me a route from home to Kigali so it looks like I might be back in business, which is great.
So....
The Garmin is coming after all and it looks like I don't need to buy anything new. I assume wihout MapSource I can't pre-program way points but can enter these manually as I go along which is fine. I did also download the .exe file for mapsource/basecamp although my computer flashed up a warning about using this. I'm not sure what this does?
Having learned a bit on maps.me (and got my .kml file across) I will now start to work with OSMand and get my mapping sorted for that....
...which means that I will just get the inReach SE (as I don't need a third device that gives me mapping).
I thinking I am slowly getting it (with a lot of help). Thanks again.
