Re: garmin numpty
Open Street maps are usually pretty good these days. See the second link for info on contours.

Re: garmin numpty
I need some Garmin experts here.
I have a Montana 600 already--and full UK OS map on micro sd --which works fine--its a Garmin product (I think-according to the detailed description that comes up on basecamp).
I have just bought a Zumo 340 LM from Aldi (for my son) at the bargain price(a biker version with RAM mounts and so on). It has the full Europe lifetime street maps as standard which are very good --for on road!. It also connects to Basecamp, will track, accept prepared routes and so on. It also has a micro SD slot. I tried my OS card in it, and whilst it recognises the map in the menu--and I tick it for use--it will not go into OS mode on the screen, even if I zoom right in--unlike the Montana which works fine. Is this a processing power/configuration issue that will never allow me to run OS maps, or am I doing something wrong?--it appears to have plenty of spare memory and is the latest software version having registered and updated it with Garmin Express.
