More Screenshots of Garmin styles
| osm | standard OpenStreetMap style |
| cycle | map style similar to opencyclemap.org |
| leisure | map style from freizeitkarte-osm.de, for outdoor activities. The .img file is ~30% larger than the osm/cycle file |
| bbbike | map style from bbbike.de, for outdoor activities. |
| onroad | A Garmin style for older devices with less space - usually 1/10 the size of Garmin OSM, see github.com/raintonr/mkgmap-bike-onroad, for outdoor activities. |
| openfietslite | map style from OpenFietsMap.nl, for outdoor activities. |
| opentopo | map style from OpenTopoMap.org |
| oseam | map style from OpenSeaMap.org, the free nautical chart |
Routing is enabled for the Garmin maps. Depending on your device, it is possible to store more than one Garmin map (or with different styles) on your Garmin.
By default all generated Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap data will use the code-page unicode (utf-8). However, some older devices don't support Unicode and some new devices have a broken DRM firmware. In this special case please use the ASCII style. Garmin SRTM extracts use always the ASCII character set.
