  Well after watching 52 people on this forum read but offer no reply I called Garmin support. The answer to my question is if I try to "route" a long distance (Germany to Hawaii) it is too much data for the GPS to calculate. The nice lady at Garmin also indicated that GPSFileDepot maps should work with no problems as long as the maps are "selected" in the GPS settings. I will test the maps later this month in LA and Hawaii. 

Newbie to my Oregan 650T. I have downloaded & installed U.S.OSM Routable map from GPSFileDepot. I physically live in Germany and from there I searched and selected a Geocache in Hawaii. The GPS started its' calculation - then I got this error message " map does not have routable roads in this area". I assume I got this message due to the fact that there are no trails or roads from Germany to Hawaii. Can anyone confirm or verify my assumption? I was trying to test the GPSFileDepot map as routable and usable for my up coming vacation. I hope I don't sound too stupid but wanted to verify the maps as a good alternative to other much more expensive options. Thank you in advance.
