You're not. If your device doesn't support mapsource yet, you'll have to download it 1st before you can get the OSM map. I have a Nuvi 1300 and I had a hard time following the directions in OSM so I went to Roadguide instead. They have very detailed instructions but you'll have to be patient in searching through the forums. Click here to find out more: Philippines Gps Map. When I was able to install mapsource based on RG's intructions, it was easy enough to get the map from OSM also. Yup, I have both RG and OSM maps in my device.

I doesn't have as many points of interest as the roadguide Philippine map pero mas accurate yung street names. Yung latest software version pa me junction view, me picture na lumalabas sa selected junctions. Kaya lang limited updates lang. After the free updates either buy maps for $100 or go back to roadguide. Baka pag dami bumili magka lifetime map update like in US.

I'm planning to buy a Garmin Nuvi 1360 w/ Philippine Map installed.

Question is:
1. Does OSM Map support the model Garmin Nuvi 1360? because it is not written in the OSM website.
2. Is it MapSource enabled/ready already? meaning to say I just had to copy the filename "gmapsupp.img" to 'Garmin' or 'Map' directory? or will I still have to run MapSource upon my first time to send map to my Garmin unit?

Thanks for your help guys.

Navteq sa Garmin. I don't think it would be compatible with 4S.
