Help with OSM map of Spain

[mathieu]

I am touring through Spain from south to north along the Spanish Divide. Currently I am in Granada. I have brought the wrong map on my Garmin. The microSD with the OSM map of Central Europe that I collected today from the post office in Granada unfortunately also contained the wrong map. Is there someone living in or near Granada who could help me with the name of a shop where to buy a microSD of Spain or who could download such an OSM map for me on a microSD?

Hey,

Can you find the file you need on internet?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, if you google 'osm map spain download', you find http://mapas.alternativaslibres.es/downloads.php
The OSM map of the Iberian Peninsula is on it.
However, technically I have never done the downloading and you need a computer with a micoSD USB for it. I don't have that here, so I need some shop or person to do it for me.

Downloading it and putting it on the microSD card is very easy, can you find a library, a hostel or something with a computer? See if the computer have a card reader, go to an electronics store and buy a card reader or worst case a USB-card reader?

Or to get more advanced, put the microSD card first in the GPS so it creates the necessary folder system, then put it in a smartphone, download the file over WIFI, rename it(if needed) and transfer it to the right folder using the phones system?

Hi Endless Trails. The problem with most hotel and library computers is that they do not allow to connect a Garmin or any other device on their USB port, as a protection. I also do not have a smartphone that works with micro-SD cards.
So I need to find a shop that can do the downloading for me. I have visited many outdoor,  cycle and ict shops in downtown Granada, but without success. My poor Spanish is also a big problem. I still wait for the local bikepacker who can help me out.

Thanks to all who helped to solve the problem. First, the internet shop Ciber Locutorio on Calle Azorin, Granada, that allowed me to plug in the USB-microSD card reader and helped to translate the Spanish Windows jargon. Secondly, the WayPoint-Zuid shop in Vessem-NL that mailed me the OSM files from Southern Spain. Great service!
