There are several ways to load free OSM maps onto your Garmin GPS, but they can be overly technical and cumbersome. In this guide, I'll show you how to do it in a simple, step-by-step process. OSM maps are free and provide an alternative to costly Garmin map chips and downloads.Why These Free Maps?So let me start by saying there are many ways to get free Garmin GPS maps and many different methods to install them. You could create whole websites devoted to the subject, and people have (see below). This article focuses on installing my favorite free Garmin GPS maps for hiking in the USA, using OpenStreetMaps. If these don't work for you, try exploring the other map services that I have listed below.You can also create your own highly-customized maps and download them to your Garmin device.OpenStreetMaps are the Wikipedia of maps. The public contributes to, confirms, and edits the data on the map. This curation goes for hiking trails too. The maps are regularly updated, and over the last few years have seemed the most accurate in my experience. You can even become a contributor if you like.Here's a side-by-side comparison of the Garmin base map with these free topo maps.The free hiking maps that I'm recommending are great because:They are good topographic maps with elevation contours.They have a large number of hiking trails on them.They are "routable," meaning that you can use free tools like Garmin Basecamp to automatically create routes and tracks that you can follow (without having to plot each point of the trail yourself).The colors and detail work well for me. That is, they look good on the device.USA regions are packaged together.This screenshot gives you an idea of the level of detail in these free maps. You can also search the maps for points of interest. Here I searched for the Great Smoky Mtn NP.Which Garmin GPS devices do the maps work with?First off, the Garmin unit you have might have maps already. You probably know this, but if you're shopping for a GPS, go to the Garmin website page for the unit. If it maps come with the unit, it will say it has "preloaded topo maps."If you already have a unit and want to find out if these free maps work, go to the unit's page on the Garmin website, and then check out the "specs" section. There is a line for "ability to add maps," if you have a check there, you're good to go.Downloading the Free Garmin GPS MapsThe first thing you will do is visit the GMapTool website, specifically the USA OSM Topo Routable page.The nice thing about this site is that they've bundled the maps up
