OSM (Open Street MAP) for GARMIN EDGE520J Review

It seems that I can replace the default map of Garmin Edge520J.

Default map is not useful for me.

Default Map of GARMIN EDGE520J

So, I searched a map called OSM.

 

Here is a one of poplar site:

Free maps for Garmin brand GPS devices from OpenStreetMap

http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

However,  I did not try this.

I don’t think it is for Japanese people.

In this time, I introduce this map.

ATTENTION: This is UNSUPPORT way of GARMIN.

ATTENTION: This is still a Beta Map as of May 3, 2016.

I downloaded a file named “EDGE520J_NE_160422.zip” released in April 22, 2016.

It support ONLY North East of Japan area.

(There are another area files)
