Something is definitely not ok with that tile. I've seen this behavior (only POI's but no roads) before, but I haven't been able to understand why that happened. Can you post the tile number (73240xxx.img) which shows only POI's and post the download URL? Thanks. Greg Troxel wrote:
I'm new to trying to deal with maps for garmin. I have been been adding/fixing OSM data in my town and am trying to get OSM data onto my Garmin GPS V. This is a serial device that was one of the very earliest ones to support mapping.
I went to http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php and asked for the single map tile that covers my area (Stow, MA, US 01775).
I unzipped to get
-rw-r--r-- 1 gdt users 158720 Apr 10 11:09 gmapsupp.img
which seems pretty small. If I run strings I can see POIs, but I wonder if there are roads.
I used
$ sendmap17Lstatic /dev/gps -u gmapsupp.img
to upload, and the GPS receiver shows that it has the map, and I can see POIs, but I see no roads, even when I'm sure they have been in OSM a long time. Also, when I had asked for multiple tiles, I got a 2MB .img, but my GPS V seems to think it only has data in a small subpart of that.
I am running the linux binary of sendmap17Lstatic, but doing so on NetBSD (which has linux emulation). It seems to run fine, but I thought I should mention this.
So:
Do people think mkgmap maps work on a GPS V?
Are the na1400.info maps ok (generated today)?
I am on the verge of buying a Vista HCx. Will that work 100% ok with mkgmap? It seems so, but I thought I'd ask.
Any other hints?
