We have a Garmin Edge 705 and need advice on what would be a good map to load onto the device. We need this for an upcoming trip, not knowing the trails or area. I know there are a few free maps out there, but I am not sure how good or reliable they are. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I use the OpenStreet maps on my 520. They work great. Instructions are here.

I think it depends on the area since the data can come from other users. Most of my local mountain bike areas are included in the map. I can see the trails in LCWP, Whiting, Aliso, Oaks, etc. Also includes forest service roads in the Santa Ana's.Does OpenStreet maps show off road trails, too, or just streets? We would need it for a mountainbike trip to either Utah or Colorado where we are not familiar with the trails.
