My name is Marc. I joined in November 2008 after reading several interesting articles about OSM e.g. wdr.de and linux-magazin.de. I got curious in 2007, because a buddy used OSM on his Palm Treo 680.

I'm using:

Backup your device data before proceeding. Don't save OSM-Card on your nüvi if you want to keep your original data.


Ubuntu recognizes the device as a storage drive, so you can add extra pois, voices, pointers and maps by copying them into the correct folders:

microSD™ card
directory structure device/microSD™ (FAT16)
path file(s) description storage location
/Garmin GMAPSUPP.IMG OSM-Card Garmin/SD
/Garmin/GPX *.gpx To enable the hidden GPX track logging menu you'll have to use the Garmin Nüvi Track Hack. Store your geocache's coordinates in this folder. Will be displayed in favorites. Garmin/SD
/Garmin/Poi *.gpi POIs can be stored here. Garmin/SD
/Garmin/scrn *.bmp Screenshots are stored in this directory. Garmin
