Hi,
this list is said to be suitable for*any* questions about mkgmap.
I'm trying to create my own img files for a garmin eTrex (instead of downloading from the tile server). For some reason it does not work the way I expect, and even by reading all web pages I could find about usage of mkgmap, I did not find the problem:
wget -O muenchen.osm "http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=11.54,48.14,11.543,48.145" java -jar mkgmap-r2232/mkgmap.jar muenchen.osm
produces an img-file of just 9216 bytes, there must be something wrong. The bounding box is really small. The img size is correct for so few data. And
java -jar mkgmap-r2232/mkgmap.jar --index --gmapsupp muenchen.osm
even aborts:
SEVERE (LocationHook): muenchen.osm: Disable LocationHook because boundary directory does not exist. Dir: bounds Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 at java.util.ArrayList.elementData(ArrayList.java:338) at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:351) ...
mkgmap is complaining about no bounds found. I think it should complete compilation though. Try downloading boundaries from [1] and placing them in a directory called bounds in the same folder than mkgmap. Your command worked for me with no errors.
Is there anywhere a step-by-step-introduction? I did not find any hint about what I am doing wrong and what options are really required to generate img files.
You can have a look at [2] as a start point. [1] http://www.navmaps.eu/index.php/developers/bound [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/How_to_create_a_map
