I'm fed up with basemen but I'm sure there must be another free mapping source program that can be used on a PC then downloaded to Garmin unit.
Any help please and how it works.
Cheers

Another vote for Mapsource, you can download it from Garmin, says its just an update but if you have Baecamp on your PC it will download as a full working version of Mapsource. Big advantage over non Garmin systems is you will be using your Garmin maps to plan routes rather than 3rd party ones. Unless you need all the bells and whistles of Basecamp you will find it does all most of us need. Route planning is at least as easy as in Tyre, you can very quicky plot a route and then drag and drop to create (non announced) via points to ensure your device follows your route correctly.

I use it with both Garmin and OSM mapping and it does all I need. Unlike some systems it does not need an internet connection either.

Thanks, I'll try them both and have a play.
