As a newish cycling nut I've recently bought a Garmin Edge 800 GPS which has the capability to do routing. As I've previously given all my dosh to Garmin for lifetime maps on a Zumo 550 and 660 I was reluctant to do the same again and have managed to get a cycle orientated map image of the UK from Open Street Maps (OSM). To work on the Edge this is simply a case of putting the image file onto an SD card and inserting into the unit.
When I connect the Edge up to my PC, Basecamp automatically recognises the OSM image file as an option and allows me to programme a route and transfer that across to the Edge. All good so far. However, I would like to embed this image file somewhere on my pc so I don't need to connect up the Edge each time. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so which folder on the PC do I put it? Ideally I would also like to get Mapsource to work with the OSM file as I'm not a convert to Basecamp yet, but I cannot figure out that one at all and it won't recognise the image file when I connect up the Edge either. Anyone know how to do this?
