I've written a free installation program for Garmin's MapSource. It's aimed at the people who are maintaining Garmin map exports of the OpenStreetMap database. A lot of these exports[1] don't have a MapSource installer, some suggest proprietary solutions and some have a unconfigurable BAT file included or ask end-users to manually edit their registry after installation.
I'd like to improve upon that, so I've written this:

Have you ever checked that site, including the "talk" page? There are many things missing to make it really usable. Maybe you can have a look whether you can add them? greatings extremecarver
Here's blog post about it on the OpenStreetMap site:

Like it says in the blog I'm interested in getting feedback / testing from users & map distributors on how it fits their needs. So please download the installer for Iceland (or make your own!):

And tell me how installing it in MapSource goes. Whether you can install the map from there onto your Garmin device. And what could be improved about the whole process.
