I also just tried out routing on my new Garmin Oregon 550...awesome. I was on cycling Churchill Park in Melbourne's east and camping the night. The gps, using only osm data, found me some really interesting tracks that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. Someone's done a good job in that area.

Thanks for this info. I downloaded the routable maps last night and tried them out today at work (I'm a delivery driver - gives me lots of opportunity to try out the Etrex). Mostly, the routable maps worked well - gave good point-to-point instructions. I did find one roundabout that asked to

There are routable versions of garmin maps on the OSMAustralia site, but you've got to scroll down a bit to find them - try this link http://www.osmaustralia.org/garminroute.php It does look like the IMG2GPS setup kit (and site has gone walkabout). I think I've got the setup kit kicking

Nope, can't find the IMG2GPS setup kit - could be on my machine at work - will look tomorrow. In the mean time, I think SendMap will work - http://www.cgpsmapper.com/download/sendmap20.zip It's written by the same guy that wrote cGPSMapper. I think I might have used it previously on an old

An easy routable OSM source is http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php Once you've selected your tile(s) you get emailed a link where to download the file from with a choice of installation possibilities - VERY COOL. The map tiles are far from perfect and update is monthly (I think). John
