OK, I now also tried to modify the command line, feeding mkgmap individual tiles, plus the overview-map.img of each layer, too. Now all layers are present in the gmapsupp.img, but I lost all layer names, .TYP files and the search index.
You should include just the individual tiles and the typ files, but not the overview files or the mdx,mdr files.
The --index option will create the index.
That doesn't work - no index seems to be created, the search function on the device doesn't work.
Are you sure that mkgmap builds the index when the input files are .img? I tried again with fewer tile, and other options, but nothing seems to have an effect.
For me, mkgmap --index --gmapsupp will generate a working index out of individual *.img tiles, but only if they belong to a single family-id, generated from splitter output using the default style. If I try to combine multiple map layers (the other layers cover the whole Finland, for various route relations using the route-* styles), I get a non-working index (no streets found). To be more specific, if I edit the osm2img.sh script at http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/ so that I just add --index before --gmapsupp, it will not work. If I only pass the 63240*.img to the command, it will work. By the way, --index is very useful for data validation. I already corrected a few name=?, name=xx and name=fix* and some typos in non-Finnish street names, searching for names starting with b, c, d, f, g, q, w, x, z. Marko
