It sounds like you are trying to double-click, or otherwise open, an .img file intended for a Garmin GPS.

You shouldn't do this. Double-clicking tells your computer to "find the program that will understand .img files, and open this with it". But this .img file is not meant for a program on your computer. It's meant for your Garmin GPS unit. Assuming you have an SD card installed in the card socket for your Garmin, simply do this:

Connect your Garmin to your computer via a USB cable.
Put your Garmin in USB Mass Storage mode. (On an eTrex, this is typically done by going to the menu screen, then Setup -> Interface -> USB Mass Storage.)
The Garmin should show up as a removable disc (like a USB stick) in the usual place. On a Mac, for example, this will be on the desktop.
If there isn't a folder on the Garmin called 'Garmin', create one.
Into this folder, copy the .img file that you downloaded.
Rename it to gmapsupp.img if it's not already called that.
Eject the Garmin as you would a USB stick. Again, on a Mac, you do this by dragging it to the trash.
When your Garmin reboots, you should now have the OSM map displayed.
