Does anyone know if you can put OS maps on an edge 530?

Was given a 530 for Christmas to replace the 12+ year old Garmin Touring I have. The touring has full OS maps on an SD card - can these be transferred to the new 530?

I don't think it is possible...and I'm guessing it is storage capacity being the biggest issue.

I don't think it's possible, but check out the talkytoaster maps - similar to OS in style, and cheap

I had the full UK at 1:50k on a micro SD card. I managed to get it on my 530 but can't recall how!

What I can recall, is being disappointed with the OS mapping on the 530's screen. I soon reverted to the standard Garmin mapping and, later, upgraded to a 1040. The wife is still using the OS mapping on her 530. So, it definitely can be done!!
