Hi
I'm trying to convert a .kml (google earth) to .osm so I can use mkgmap to convert to .img.
In the .osm file I've noticed that mkgmap appears to ignore the <bounds> tag.
To simplify my conversion, are there any others that aren't utilized?
For instance, in the <node> node does it need to have the user, usid, version or changeset attributes?
Is there a wiki page that I've missed, that lists this info?
Cheers Dave F.
You could try converting the file with gpsbabel
gpsbabel -i kml -f test.kml -o osm -F test.osm And then see if you are happy with the translation, or if you still need to add more features. At least you will have a starting point on what tags you need. Garvan
