OSM Map of Japan for Garmin Devices

This map covers all of Japan and uses Japanese characters (kanji and kana).

It was tested on a Garmin Oregon 300. If you see problems, please contact me on my OSM talk page.

Installation

• Preliminary: see Mkgmap/i18n on the OSM wiki for how to update fonts on your Garmin device to display Japanese characters.
• Download the zip archive.
• Uncompress it, this creates a file named gmapsupp.img, about 500 MB in size.
• Copy the gmapsupp.img file into the Garmin folder of your GPS device's memory card. Note that this will erase any Garmin-generated map with the same name. You can rename either file to use both.
