I was meaning to write a message about this for a while and since the thread for drive-on-left/right has brought this up already today and since it is a mkgmap birthday (8 years!) this might be a good time to set the ball rolling.
Happy Birthday mkgmap! And a big thanks to all developer who made this possible, mkgmap and the OSM maps for GARMIN are really a big plus for me.
+1. While I have gone a little inactive, mkgmap is still useful. The USB data transfers on my Edge 705 died some years ago, so I cannot use it for mapping. (But I do not update OSM that much either, given that it already is good enough for me.) I have been using OsmAnd on a smartphone. In some ways, the old Garmin is still better.
I am sure that it can be done, but it is a large task and will need more than one person working on it. If there is any interest I shall outline my thoughts tomorrow.
I would be very interested in this.
Me too. It would be nice to have properly shaped polygon around the map of Finland that I still update every now and then. Marko
