did some experiments and found the overview map mast be an 8 digit number. this seems a limitation of mkgmap. this is not a mapsource requirement. mapsource is a bit strange. for me it never worked with -- product-id try just --family-name --family-id --series-name I don't use mapsource anymore since gmapi-builder supports the direct conversion to Roadtrip. And Roadtrip is way more stable :) On 28 Apr 2009, at 5:00 , Thorsten wrote:

Hi. I still have no success to install mkgmap generated maps to mapsource (SVN version)
The call I used to generate the map was:
mkgmap --style-file=~/navi/maps/mkgmap.style/ --no-sorted-roads -- net --route --code-page=1252 --country-abbr="EU" --tdbfile -- overview-mapname=20051979 --product-id=1 --family-id=20 ../*.osm.gz
It seems that it has something to do with the .tdb file. If I change only the specific registry entry so that a tdb file of another (independent but working) map is used, then mapsource starts.
Btw. Are you sure that overview-mapname has to be an 8 digit number? It seems that other maps also allow strings.
