If you would like to support this website and the Garmin Compatible Maps produced, here are a few ideas;
OpenStreetMap
https://www.openstreetmap.org & https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/
OpenStreetMap can be easy to update / improve if you follow the guidelines - have a read of the wiki, and please help us to update and improve the map. It’s worldwide, so improving the area you are familiar with is a great way to help.
One of the easiest ways to update the map is using an app on your phone. I would recommend StreetComplete, which is an ideal way of updating existing data quickly - I use it on a regular basis. StreetComplete is an ideal way of updating the sizes of gateways and barriers - adding this data improves the Trike map, and the results can be seen on the next, monthly, version of the Barrier map.
Donating to OpenStreetMap is another way to help - please visit https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/.
All of the Garmin Compatible Maps offered here are derived from OpenStreetMap.
Donate to the Charity “Shine”
https://www.shinecharity.org.uk/
Shine specialises in supporting people with Spina Bifida &/or Hydrocephalus. The effects of either of these conditions can become apparent before birth, or may become apparent much later in life.
As a charity they have supported our granddaughter who was diagnosed as having spina bifida before she was born.
We weren’t really aware of either condition, and their website helped enormously to explain in terms which we could understand, what the conditions are, and the effect they were likely to have. Our daughter also spoke to their staff, receiving support, information, and guidance in enormous quantities. They have specialists such as physiotherapists who contact and support the local NHS staff, giving them the information they need to provide the best possible care.
