I am attempting to create a routable, transparent map of footpaths to overlay on a separately drawn transparent contour map which shows hydrography and land cover.  Those two maps would lie on top of a proprietary road map.

 

The Windows batch file I use to call the compiler follows:

 

java.exe -Xmx512M -enableassertions -jar "c:\program files\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar" --route --net --transparent --product-id=53 --mapname=07250732 laurels8.mp

pause

 

To generate the TDB file I then run:

 

java.exe -Xmx512M -enableassertions -jar "c:\program files\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar" --max-jobs=4 --tdbfile --product-id=53  07250733.img 07250732.img

pause

 

My problem is that if laurels8.mp contains a full set of contours, hydrography and land cover my 6324000.img file shows a corresponding 07250732 quadrangle, but if laurels8.mp consists only of ways, there is no quadrangle for 07250732.  Therefore, while I can see the ways in MapSource, I can’t use MapSource to select the ways only maps to combine with my other maps.

 

I get the same result if I compile laurels8.osm directly from a JOSM file.

 

If this isn’t the right forum for this question, I’d appreciate a link to the right one.

 

Thanks in advance.
