UK OSM Cycle maps for Garmin Edge

I've been looking for an up to date OSM map which includes UK cycle paths for a road bike.
I tried velomap but the routing seemed off to me.
Other UK OSM maps which had cycle paths seems very old.

So I followed the instructions on the Open Street Map and created my own, and I thought I would share them for others.

You can find them here

    Maps from here are excellent. Both the generic and the lite ones have UK cycle routs on. Easy to set up and are updated regularly.

    Also, I suspect that the maps at http://talkytoaster.com/ukmaps.htm will work.

    Always good to have a few sources though.

    They do but I preferred the Openfietsmaps.

    I tried Talkytoaster - it doesn't include UK cycle routes.
    I agree that Openfietsmaps looked good and included cycle routes - ditto for openstreetmap.nl
    However, I found that the POI icons weren't that great. Also one of them did a route right down the middle of the "River Thames" on my Edge 800 - very strange. I think this is a side effect of it showing the River Boat services in London, and therefore these become an option for routing.

    As a result I built my own using the Open Street Map with Cycle Routes offical guide. These are therefore "native" OSM + Cycle Layer maps - and good standard colourful icons too. If it is on with OSM map with the Cycle layer, it is in my map.

    I hope these maps will give people to option for a UK focused map.

    However, if Talkytoaster issued a map which included UK Cycle routes - then that would be my perfect map for the UK.

    Just had a look. The roads are very thin and not easy to see. I will stick with the Openfiets or the Generic from the same site. POIs are not a problem for me. The generic map is not too bad with them anyway. The Openfiets is a bit 'Lite' on them.
