Yesterday, I added numerous Garmin (Latin 1) maps. I did not use Basecamp because it wasn't needed.
Garmin OSM
Garmin Cycle
Garmin Leisure
Garmin Onroad
Garmin Ontrail
Garmin BBBike
Garmin Openfietsmap Full
Garmin OpenSeaMap
Garmin OpenTopoMap
I have been poking around trying to find out the differences in these maps.
On BBBike I see this:
File Size
Garmin Cycle 0.27
Garmin Leisure 0.55
Garmin OSM 0.43
Garmin BBBike 0.40
Garmin Onroad 0.04
Garmin Ontrail 0.13
Garmin Openfietsmap Lite 0.40
Garmin Openfietsmap Full 0.61
Garmin OpenSeaMap 0.40
Garmin OpenTopoMap 0.44
Since the Garmin Openfietsmap Full is the largest, does that mean it is the most detailed?
And, then I ran across this URL. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM-based_servic...
I didn't find OpenMapChest in that list. It might be there, but there are so many to wade through, that I may have missed it. I like the BBBike maps because they are free to download, easy for me to install and some of them are bicycle oriented.
Similarly, I like OpenMapChest because they are free to download, easy for me to install and are automobile oriented.

I use both OpenMapChest and USA OSM Topo Maps in my Garmin Handholds.
Both are free. Both are routable.
OpenMapChest maps are updated weekly. The USA OSM Maps are updated 3-4 times a year.
The OpenMapChestMaps are more like topo maps if you ask me.
The USA OSM Maps have more "Urban/City" details.

Thank you for the reply. I will take a look at the USA OSM Topo Maps.
