To expand..I use a Garmin with Mapsource and have Memorymap.
What I really really want is OS or similar maps loaded onto the Garmin so
that my exact location at any time when out and about can be shown.

========================
When I said "this is not possible" I was referring to "OS or similar maps
loaded onto the Garmin"
===========================
After saying that someone mentioned to me Fugawi software...I'm currently
trying to find out if that would download onto GPS. Any one have info on
this?

Fugawi is OS raster based along with MemoryMap and Anquet. The only OS
mapping that you can upload to a Garmin GPS is Gamin's own topo maps
which are in the required vector format.
