OpenStreetMap Garmin Maps Generator is a specialized software solution that can help users download OpenStreetMap map files from the Internet and convert them to maps that are compatible with Garmin devices.

Download and convert maps

As stated above, this application is meant to solve some compatibility issues that arise for Garmin devices owners who want to view OpenStreetMaps documents on their devices.

This application fetches a "planet file" from the Internet along with any update that it might have, processes its regions, creates its contours and OSM data and creates an output file that works with your Garmin device.

During our testing, we noticed that the application only detected a small part of our computers' available memory as being available to the application. As you can notice in the screenshots, the app notified us that 1334 Mbs are available, whereas more than 4096 Mbps were actually free and ready to be used.

As a consequence, OpenStreetMap Garmin Maps Generator also informed us that address indexes would not be generated since this operation needs at least 1800 Mbs in order to be carried out.

We had no issues with trying to install this application on our computers. All you have to do is unpack the archive it comes in and run the setup executable for the installation process to start.

After doing so, the integrated wizard will guide you step-by-step through the installation process, so you don't need to perform any advanced operations during the setup.

If you own a Garmin device and want to populate it with maps that are 100% supported, you might consider using OpenStreetMap Garmin Maps Generator. It fetches OpenStreetMap files from the Internet and turns them into maps that are Garmin-compatible. However, it is worth noting that you might experience some trouble with identifying available memory on your system.
