English version of Israeli maps?

I've seen some discussion of this, but not sure where its up to with OSM. I don't mind the Ivrit labels, and can read them on the maps displayed on my computer, but the street labels display as ????? characters on my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX

So I'm looking for English street labels, or an Ivrit character set for Garmin devices...

any ideas? apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place

thanks, David

Fire in northern Israel

I took the image at http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/50280000/gif/_50280321_israel_fires_464map.gif and sought Mount Carmel in relation to the recently available high resolution Microsoft Bing imagery . . . unfortunately, the area of the fire appears to fall right between two swaths of coverage and is not, itself, covered. The permalink http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=32.729&lon=35.047&zoom=11&layers=M&relation=1298962 shows this, where Mount Carmel is the center peak. This is just informational . . . I took a look in the hopes I might be able to use the new imagery to update tracing information in the area, but found this instead. Regards --Ceyockey 01:27, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
