I've been playing again.  OpenStreetMap user ComputerTeddy runs regular updates of the OSM data into Garmin-friendly tiles.  I've taken his  fresh 15th January 02009 tiles for UK and Ireland, combined them with the SMC's UK topological map, and put them all into a Garmin-installable streets-and-topo map.

You can download it here: http://www.ravenfamily.org/andyg/maps

Geeknote: I got the OpenStreetMap tiles from ComputerTeddy's fresh tile repository the old-fashioned way, using the tile identifier to make a list, then using the Firefox download plugin  DownThemAll to suck down a bucket of tiles, deleted the ones I didn't need, unzipped 'em, and fed those and the SMC contours through Sendmap.  Yes, it could be automated better!

It's lovely to see the updates I've been doing there on a useful device - that's the "participant satisfaction" part of a wiki project that I really dig.  I'm going to have to work on automating the process: ComputerTeddy has a weekly run of tiles, and a map that fresh is a good thing.
