Just bought a second hand garmin 705 and the basic basemaps were Awful I've found some maps that are a big improvement and included steps on
installing below but does anyone have any better links or even just file names I could search for to free OS style maps or img files for Ireland ?
Many Thanks Bill
All the steps are here as the file locations may change so jumping to the second link might not always work.
Click link below and just select Ireland from the Europe drop down menu and click download map

It should bring you to here

Download osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip and unzip it to your "Garmin" folder on your gps then disconnect your garmin and go to settings and maps and to check the new map called "OSM generic" is selected and then you should see a much improved map.
