Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I only log on to respond to PMs nowadays, so will miss any of these messages.
Regarding OSM, yes I found out later that you can download and use OSM maps, I have it now with one of my freebie street navigation programs on my tablet (Navigator Free), should I need it, but I didn't find it as effective for off-road use as for street use. It's much the same as Google maps in this respect, as you need to zoom in very close to see tracks.
