    You need to download to computer then load to Garmin GPS. They're available at Roadguide PH forum but for contributors only. Try to google it, I'm sure you'll be able to find one.

    ^You will first need Mapsource installed on your pc, then install osm or roadguide map. On the folder where maps are located is a TYP file. You may change the original TYP file with other TYP files compatible with your map.

    Learning to change TYP files is a bit involved, but very rewarding because you end up with a uniquely personalized appearance of your map. You can change colors and width of roads. You can chage waypoint icons, polygon graphics, etc., yet it does not affect the routing rules of the map.

    It depends on the GPS device if it can handle time-based oneway data for roads. I think Garmin devices (at least for my nuvi) do not have this feature and can only handle oneways that are "permanent".

    Training center i believe is available here.
    Garmin: Training Center Updates & Downloads

    THe latest version of roadguide contributors version 2.05 is also available. I don't want to post the link for it.. Baka violation sa forum rules..

    Just google it.. am sure you'll find it.
