I've just picked up an ageing Garmin Edge 810 for navigation purposes. I really like it.
I've uodated the maps on it using the https://extract.bbbike.org/garmin.html website and it seems to work fine, but as a total newbie to OSM maps I don't know if i have the best map?
I downloaded the 'Garmin BBB Bike' version which competently directed me for about 60 moles on and off road on Sunday. Is there a better one seeing as i try to stay off road whenever possible?
Thanks

Re: OSM maps for an old Garmin?
Back when I used to use my older Edge 800 I used to download maps from here https://www.openfietsmap.nl/ and load the map onto a SD card for loading into the computer, not quite an OS map but thy do some good maps, got me around France a couple of times.

Thanks Loki. I saw that version on the BBB site. I'll give it a go.

Just had a play with Openfietsmap. Looks like just what I was after. Even has picnic spots marked! Thanks.
