AIO should too.
I have no problems on a Vista Cx, Firmware 3.40, 8 GByte microSD Card and
the 20091205 version of the german AIO map. Should still be available at:
http://dev.openstreetmap.de/aio/germany/

As you seem to be on Unix: Put the eTrex into Mass Storage Mode,
mount the eTrex (automatically mounts to /media/disk here (vfat)),
then copy:

bunzip2 gmapsupp.img.bz2
cp gmapsupp.img /media/disk/Garmin/gmapsupp.img

(.. wait for about 20 minutes .., unmount)

Casing of the upper/lowercase filenames matters.

Greetings,
Frieder


PS: avoid eTrex Firmware version 3.30 for mapping purposes.
Sticks to road although told not to.

Yup, these maps work. :-)

Well, yeah. 

I am a newbie with openstreetmap, but on the other hand I started as a
Unix admin about 20 years ago and have seen file compression
before...

OK, this is the "All in one" map. If I recall correctly this map uses a TYP 
file to display OSM items which cannot be displayed on a regular Garmin map.

Have you tried some of the other maps, to see if they work on your unit? For 
example, Lambertus's maps at http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php seem quite 
popular.

I trust that you did check, as the last comment in the discussion suggests, 
that you properly de-compressed the .bz2 file? ;-)

Cheers.

Ah, sorry, I thought that this was commonly known. It was taken from 

http://dev.openstreetmap.de/aio/germany/gmapsupp.img.bz2

and there's a discussion on 

http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=4200

where someone else had exactly the same problem some time ago
(unfortunately parts of the discussion were held in german).

Hi Hadmut,

Could you perhaps let us know which daily build of the German map you 
downloaded? (From what site, etc.)

Cheers.
