pocketgpsworld.comMapomatic is a new website that has been set up by a number of GPS enthusiasts to promote the use of OSM (OpenStreetMap) data running on Garmin GPS units. Although it does not yet compete with the Garmin mapping for SatNav purposes, it can provide useful maps for the handheld GPS units to provide better data than the default basemap.

Mapomatic plan to release regular updates of their Garmin maps free of charge, although a more regular update service will be available for a
small premium (with part of the payment being returned to OSM as a donation).

The advantages of using OSM data is the more relaxed copyright associated with the data, and the speed of updates of the map data. As
a wiki-like project, any registered user is able to provide updates to the map, which are then reflected in the Garmin map Mapomatic produce.

At this time, Mapomatic is beta testing a couple of maps; the beta test phase is still open to new testers. More information is available here.
