That would be the roadguide.ph/waypoints.ph version, sir.

Feel free to download the OSM version from:

http://esambale.wikispaces.com/osmphil_garmin

IMO, it's much, much more complete, and you download it now, no need for you to contribute first.

Note: the September 2009 release for Garmin units has been taken down. But if you have mapsource installed, you may use the corresponding version and just use mapsource to upload it to your Garmin unit.

Good thing I did some backreading, o I would have missed this.

I'll do some research about the Omnia first.

Bro I checked the link, bakit walang update yung 20090912 na MAP zip file?

Hindi daw sumama yung bagong STYLE file dun sa 20090912 zip file. Kaya tinanggal muna.

Naging busy yata si maning kaya di na niya na-update.

Ang ipinagawa niya sa akin, e, download yung mapsource installer version, then send the map to my unit using Mapsource software.

only if you compare it with the standard FREE version of the Roadguide map... once you get to have the contributors version... then you'll be more amazed at how detailed it is... 28+mb at that.

that's true... unlock code is unique for every Garmin unit... IMO, the fun part of contributing is you get to see your contributions in the map and you get to be a part of its development.
