Awesome thanks! Ive been looking at OSM and TopOSM is there a way to get those on my device?

Hi all so I'm new so if I mess something up I'm sorry.  I just got a Garmin Oregon 450 (no maps). I previously was using my Iphone with MotionX Gps on it. I'm rather confused. The motionx app was able to download free topo maps and cache them to the phone. This way when I was using the phone out of cell service I still had maps of pre selected areas. I'm curious because the app has all of the us in topo form (it loads and discards as you go along). But what maps does that use? Because they are free. Had all the water and trail information I need and were accurate.

But now moving to the Garmin you have to pay for everything OR people here make them... but it seemed on the phone app everything was there. as one massive map. Trying to just hike in CT seems almost impossible now. I have a mac and the Northeast maps on this site are PC only. But with my iphone and the app I have all the trail and topo data already there... Should i just toss the Garmin and stick with the phone? The App says it uses OpenCycleMap is there a way to get those in my Garmin?
