It's a Garmin Montana which I load from a programme called "Tracklogs" , the originating company of which went bust a couple of years ago, but I had paid a lot of money for the OS maps and it works well.
For not a lot of money - £25 or so a year, you get get 1:25000 and 1:50000 OS maps, along with several others, from the Ordnance Survey.
I can plot a route on these, and download to the Garmin's 1:50000 contents.
The OS's route planning is a bit clunky, not as good as Tracklogs.
But the OS will work on your phone, and display both sets of maps and can be used as the satnav, anyway. As, probably, could your tablet, though I haven't tried that.
I believe other programmes are available, some said to be better than the OS, but I am used to the OS formats.
