If it is not locked easily - you will have to create tdb and so on with 
mkgmap (difficult) or gmaptool (easier) or mapsettoolkit (easiest but 
often not working), otherwise just choose any map from here which has a 
mapsource installer:

I have written a guide on how to start with Mapsource and OSM here on my 
homepage, of course you can exchange the map for any other.
