The transfer rate between a garmin and a pc or mac is abysmal. Much better to download and use openstreetmap to your mac and use that map to plan routes.

Here is a link for you. the map selected is the uk. You will need " Map installer for BaseCamp / Mac OSX platform."

thanks for this. You mention download, but if I google download opestreetmap for Mac there's no indication of an application. I'm fine using it on http://www.openstreetmap.org, by the way.

your suggested way of working is drawing a route on osm, export a gpx, add is as a track on etrex/basecamp. Right?

The etrex can diferentiate between gpx tracks and gpx routes unlike the edge series.
Generally for on road you are probably better with a gpx route. Basecamp can produce both.
