Hi all, thanks for the input. I still have no idea what this size value might be but I agree that it doesn't seem to have an influence on the crash. I also tried changing several other of the unknown fields and found no change. I also tried to change the tdb to version 411, no change reg. crash. I do now try to reproduce the problem with tiles that have the same coordinates as those in the Garmin map.

It seems that mkgmap writes some constants that might be important, e.g. MapDetailBlock.java contains //01 c3 00 ff os.write4(0xff00c301); os.write(0); os.write(0); os.write(0);
I've just looked at this. No idea where any of those came from :) I think those 7 bytes should be: 1 byte: unknown to me 1 byte: Maybe index into block 'S' (0x53) 1 byte: index into block 'R' (0x52) or zero if no block 'R' 4 bytes: a size that is generally related to the size of the file. cgpsmapper and gmaptool set this size to 256 (and previously to 255) Block R has the following structure: 1 byte: index number, starting from 1 n bytes: zero terminated string There is probably only ever one of these. Eg "Europe guide v1" Gmaptool appears to create one of these with the name "All". Block S has the following structure: 1 byte: number, probably index into block R 1 byte: number index in this block, starting from 1 n bytes: zero terminated string name eg: 1,1 "Region 1 - Aus/Switz/N.Italy" 1,2 "Region 2 - France" 1,3 "Region 3 - Germany/Czech Republic" ... Unfortunately I think they have nothing to do with DEM as maps without DEM have these. There are lots of unknown entries in the TDB header, there could be something there. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
