Hi Guys,

Used it with the talkytoaster.info maps this weekend and it worked pretty well. Even managed to up load onto Strava (though not gone public yet - strava's not my first choice, it's a bit too serious for me).

Thanks for your help!

thanks for the link, looks good for free. i've had lots of problems with endomondo recently and garmin connect involves too many logon's and different programs.

I've written quite a few blog posts about mapping options for the Garmin, with various comparisons of City Navigator, OS Discoverer, and a few free Open Source Maps (OSM).
I've had lots of great feedback that they've been helpful to people trying to work out which mapping they need.
Take a look:

You're welcome. Let me know if it would be useful to cover any other aspects.
What I've created so far is only based on my own learning since I got a Garmin Edge in December 2011. When I learn something new, I tend to blog about it because a) it helps me to remember it and b) other people find it helpful too. Oh, and c) because I'm crap at sitting still and watching telly in the evenings.
