The GPS map is compiled using my custom style and TYP file designed for GPS units. (Just select it from the drop-down list in the top-left of the MapSource window). exe file and this will automatically copy the maps to C:\Garmin\Maps\CF OSM Map (GCC) and add suitable registry entries so that the map is visible in MapSource. If you're worried about accidentally deleting expensive maps that you have bought, then do some more reading on this topic before you proceed. Warning!!! Make sure you back-up any existing files on your GPS before copying the new files over, particularly if your GPS unit doesn't have flash storage.
When it reboots you should see the OpenStreetMap attribution notice. Copy the gmapsupp.img file to the garmin folder on the GPS unit (which should be visible under explorer as an external drive). Activate USB storage mode (Main Menu->Setup->Interface->USB Mass Storage). Connect your GPS unit to the computer using the USB cable. Alternatively email me and we'll work it out. Here are some generic instructions (based on how it works with my GPSMap76Csx) but Google is your friend if these don't work for your particular model. Some require you to rename the map file to gmapsupp.img for it to be recognised, others have different conventions. 
Some have flash storage, some only have internal storage.

GPS device map For installation directly into GPS units, 51 MB. Jump to the next section to download the latest version of the maps. This file is updated once a day by Geofabrik, and I tend to grab a version once or week or so and compile it using my custom mkgmap style and TYP file which you can download from here. These maps are based on the gcc_states extract from OpenStreeMap provided by Geofabrik. 
These maps have been customised to suit walkers and climbers, in particular. From this page you can download maps for the entire set of GCC countries (Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) suitable for use on Garmin GPS devices.
