It’s always nice to get some feedback on OpenCycleMap – especially when it’s being put to unexpected use. I received this in an email:
We are french Alpinist and we just want to thanks you for your job in open cycle map.
We’ve just finish a traverse in cordillera darwin in chili and we have used i phone with “motion x gps” apps.
on this aps we have acces to open cycle map relief and it was the best map of the region, just some very little mistake.

Wow! Amazing stuff. Thanks to François from the expedition for getting in touch.
Along similar “Wow” lines, this guy seems to like OpenCycleMap too…
We would looove to have OpenCycleMap on our Garmin unit while touring/cycling/trekking South America but are confined to stock OSM maps because of the ease of getting updated maps via garmin.openstreetmap.nl – is there a similar service that creates Garmin-ready OpenCycleMap files?
Creating our own is not an option as we are on the trip already (and for following 2 months) and have no laptop – so restricted to virus-infested Cyber cafes…
My partner would kill to have contours on the GPS. I´m sure you appreciate what difference it makes on a loaded bike!
