[Closed] Garmin question and an apology

First of all this may be an old question and I apologise if so. I've borrowed a Garmin 800 to take to Spain as something I can dump files down to from wikiloc and play follow the arrow. It's to supplement the bikefax book (which is rather good) and any mappage I take. Now I am fairly sure there are some free maps I can download to the micro sd but I can't remember what they are called, have seen and heard them referenced in the past and wondered if anyone would mind jogging my decrepit memory.

Open street maps, I think.

If you Google getting them onto a Garmin 800 there will be loads of guides...

I use the maps from OSM for my edge 705. Spanish mapping is never as good as British OS, but it's usable.

You want the peninsular & islas baleares one.
