Garmin 64s – Which Format?

I require assistance getting a map similar to the “Generic Routable (new style)” I could have gotten before from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ for the province of Newfoundland in Canada.

My first attempt resulted in an error on my GPS: “Can’t authenticate maps.  Contact content Seller for help”.

Here is what I did:
From: https://download.bbbike.org/osm/
Area: 'Newfoundland, Canada' covers 6,055 square km
Coordinates: -53.06,47.251 x -51.775,47.816
Format: Garmin OSM (UTF-8)

When the download was ready I saved gmapsupp.img to my Garmin 64s.

From reading your forum I understand (UTF-8) will not work on my Garmin 64s.

Could someone please advise as to what format will work to give me English maps that are automobile routable?

Thank you.

Re: Garmin 64s – Which Format?

In the selection criteria, did you get an option to select "Garmin OSM (latin1)" as an alternative to "Garmin OSM (UTF-8)"?

Your question might reach more Garmin-y eyeballs on the Garmin sub-forum.  You might even find a ready-made answer there.  Good luck.

In the thread "Worldwide routable Garmin maps" read the last entry there from BBBike - you need the Latin-1 format.
