Hi
I have downloaded a OSM map and installed on my Edge 1030.
I can see a file that is titled gmapsupp.img on PC when garmin is connected but it does'nt appear on the unit in the map section.
Any thoughts?

Dear, if you wish you can download this routable OSM, with elevation profiles and shaded relief. Just play on your device's memory.
that's right. you extract the file (it is quite heavy 1-2GB) and play it in the Garmin directory of the Edge 1030's internal memory. If necessary, you go to GPS under Navigation> Maps and activate the map you just installed.
Often if you have several maps that cover the same area they will conflict. If that is the case you need to disable all but one. But do not disable the Garmin built-in maps other than the Garmin Cycling Map. Keep the POI, DEM and there system maps active.
I use an OSM based map for my area and disable the Garmin Cycle Map, keep the rest enabled. Work no problem.
Also when I travel I get the OSM map of the area I travel to, for free.
In my case I use 3 maps that are activated at the same time and that overlap, showing on the screen a single merged image. a base map of Brazil with POIs, a routable topographic OSM map and BirdsEye images of selected locations. It never broke down. And for a while I used custom maps based on geo-referenced images from Google Earth. But the Garmin basemap is disabled.
