Free OpenStreetMap maps on Garmin Sat Navs

Not very useful for the United States. It only allows selection of an individual state!

When you say you purchased an SD card did it have maps on or was it blank ?

In my case I actually bought an SD card from Garmin with the maps pre-loaded (it was actually on a micro-SD, but it came with a carrier to fit the SD slot) as the cost wasn’t that much more than a blank card and it saved me the hassle of downloading files and burning my own SD. Works like a charm in my 2015 V8V; I just get the odd warning on the nav screen about how out-of-date the original maps are.

I've successfully updated the maps on my Garmin-based system (Vanq2013). However, the speed limit icon and traffic information icon have both disappeared from the screen. Anyone else noticed this?

Are you able to go into settings and turn them on again?
