Yeah, by Garmin, I didn't mean car GPS (although, I do still think they make them!) but more bike computers and fitness watches, which include route mapping, tracking, etc. They offer OSM and Google Maps, depending on your preference. 😀
Those small details are what makes a map more useful, so keep at it! I use OSM Go! for quick stuff while on the run, since most other solutions seem to take more time. When possible, I also snap a photo (with a GPS tag) and later add whatever it is that I saw, if it's a more complex feature.
I'm glad that so many tools exist! It really does make things easier for those who map.
