You're very brave to think of translating kml into osm - in theory it shouldn't be a problem as both are txt files ; it may be that ignoring authorship/timestamps etc can affect the creation of an img file ; perhaps start with one node ; the bounds tag are essential for defining the area limits so you would have to work out the max and min lats / longs from your kml data. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dave F." <davefox@madasafish.com> Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 3:10 PM To: "mkgmap" <mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> Subject: [mkgmap-dev] Which .osm nodes/elements/attributes does mkgmap use &ignore?
Hi
I'm trying to convert a .kml (google earth) to .osm so I can use mkgmap to convert to .img.
In the .osm file I've noticed that mkgmap appears to ignore the <bounds> tag.
To simplify my conversion, are there any others that aren't utilized?
For instance, in the <node> node does it need to have the user, usid, version or changeset attributes?
Is there a wiki page that I've missed, that lists this info?
Cheers Dave F.
