Yes you can use OSM maps, I use it all over Asia and it works for me, after you install the map on the card and insert the card on your device you have to go to setting / Activity Profiles / Train / Navigation / Map / Map Information / then find your map there click on and enable it. Not very practical but this is how Garmin hide the map. Hope it helps

I think the best thing you can do for maps is to use Openstreetmaps--- go to DC rainmaker's site for instructions http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/01/garmin-edge-810-in-depth-review.html I use them often and they are free and work much better than garmins--depending on where you are riding. They do cover most spots on the planet that are mapped.

This may not work on the Edge 810. It does work on the 800. I tried an 810 and returned it because the turn-by-turn routing provided by RideWithGPS.com TCX wouldn't work with the 810. The following is from the RideWithGPS web site on how to load maps. http://ridewithgps.com/users/115523 ................ After downloading, copy the IMG file to the SD cards "GARMIN" folder that was created earlier. The SD card can have multiple IMG files on it and you can choose between them in the Edge 800 configuration menu. I kept my names descriptive, "osm_western_us.img". VERY IMPORTANT: keep the name short and free of spaces or odd punctuation - underscores are OK for spaces. Once the file is copied, safely remove (right click on the icon in the lower right of screen for Windows users) the SD card from your computer. Insert the card and power up the Garmin. Go to the configuration menu, then System -&gt; Map -&gt; Map Information, and select the map type. Enjoy!

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.

Thanks. I think people were talking about buying newer units so they wouldn't have to pay for updates for older units, and not because the maps weren't updatable. That's what confused me.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Actually you can load maps on the Edge 705. On the 305 it is just a bread-crumb device.

I'm sorry, we haven't tried to download any maps. Wish I could have helped.

No. Only US. I live in Brazil, so I install the Igo and use it. The Igo allows to install any map. Since it you have the map (you can find on the internet).

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps. Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.php Select your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.

You should be able to just download/buy the maps for it, then just update the system, maybe?

Nope. Although I understand that the Edge Touring Cycling Computer is better on trails. See the Adventure Cyclist Magazine for a recent review of this computer. You can contact the author of that review (Josh Tack) at jtack@adventurecycling.org I have both an Edge 510 and Edge 810, with the map chip, and neither one seems able to identify a bike trail.

I have the same problem. Connected to device to my Mac and received an updated map, which took over one hour. Now the map can't be activated and I receive an error message. Just called TomTom and I was told that I can't download an updated map wireless due to the compression of the file. I would need a cable internet connection to fix this. I have never heard such a story and it doesn't make any sense to me (I use AT&T; U-Verse). Has anyone ever heard about this before?

so the map in it doesnt 'expire' forcing you to get a new map? i was under the impression it was like a subscription and after x amount of time the device didnt work any more til you got the new subscription..?

I have been in contact with a guy in China who informed me today 8/5/14 that there was a $81 cost to get the map updates. However mine was shipped (about 3 weeks ago) and it has the latest maps) for my area. I live in Missouri.

YES. But... Only if you buy the Garmim mapfile for your region. Or download it from OpenStreetMaps.org, for example. Then you can enter street address and get turn-by-turn visual navigation (no voice). But the Edge 800 does not come with such map by default. Keep that in mind. And the map must be loaded into a micro-SDCARD which is not included in the Edge 800 bundle.

Turned if off and restart, may need to try a few times. My problem is that the map is too outdated in Oklahoma City. Don't know whether other users have the same problem when their areas develop fast.
