Sad news. Best maps that don’t cost a fortune for my Garmin.

Fortunately http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ is still a thing!
No it isn't.

Contrary to doing the right thing in such a situation as Ben is doing with OpenMapChest, the operator of garmin.openstreetmap.nl went incommunicado years back, but refused to hand over it to anybody else or at least shut it down. Given that it is nearly always broken, not a good state of things.

The last few times I used it, it worked fine for loading maps onto my Garmin Edge 800.

There' also https://www.userbeam.de/ and https://speichenkarte.de/, which make the process easy for the interested user.

Not only garmin.openstreetmap.nl, but also the OSM forum (which thankfully was handed over to OSM Foundation to run on their servers).
