okay ang OSM pero mas detailed ang roadguide.

Depende kung saan. Maraming lugar na mas detailed ang OSM kumpara sa RoadGuide:
RoadGuide.ph/Data comparison with OSM - OpenStreetMap Wiki

mas detailed ang roadguide kesa osm. at ang pinaka-importante, mas maganda ang routing ng roadguide map kesa osm, lalo na yung contributors map.

Downloaded and used the gmapsupp.img, kapag nag night mode na, hindi na makita mga minor roads. sobrang nakakasilaw naman if select ko day time mode.

Try using custom TYP files. They're like skins or desktop wallpapers.

How to do that? Within the Garmin unit? or using a computer?

Depende sa lugar. May mga lugar na mas OK ang OSM kaysa sa RoadGuide (at vice versa) at may mga lugar na mas OK ang routing ng OSM sa RoadGuide (at vice versa). Mas OK kung gagamitin mo yung pareho.

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.

What file do I need to download and load to Garmin?

^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.
