I'm a bit surprised to hear you say that. I'm aware that the options are processed in the order I list them, but surely mkgmap knows what they are to be applied to. ie the .OSM file & not the .IMGs that are part of the --gmapsupp option?
You're also mixing pre-existing IMG files with OSM files, which I'd avoid if I were you. Better to create all the IMG files seperately, then compile them into your ultimate gmapsupp.img in one step at the end.
I'm following instructions from the mkgmap wiki:
*--gmapsupp* Write a gmapsupp.img file, possibly joining previous gmapsupp.img (you need to copy in the Mkgmap's working directory), that can be uploaded to a Garmin device in USB mode.
java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp corsica.img cyprus.img mallorca.img malta.img tenerife.img
Are you saying this is to be avoided? The wiki only describes combining IMG files together, whereas you appear to be both combining IMG files whilst also processing OSM files, in the same step. Like I said before, I'd recommend you do all the OSM processing first. Then combine IMG files in a second, separate step. I'm not saying that you can't do it any other way, just that this way works!
