Hi I'm am forwarding this email, with permission, in the hope that someone can help before I able to look at it at the weekend. ----- Forwarded message from Valentijn Date: Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:47:43 +0100 Subject: OpenStreetMap e-mail - mkgmap bug report Hello Steve, Marvellous piece of work, mkgmap! Incredible, really. Although, naturally, there are a few glitches and here's one of them. It could be that there's glitches between the connections between two parts of a map (as I'd guess that the position is somewhere between two sub-maps), but I'm not 100% sure of that. This http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/?zoom=17&lat=52.01375&lon=5.11781&layers=B00000... is the position on OSM, and this http://valentijn.sessink.nl/temp/CIMG7132.JPG is how it shows up on my Garmin Nüvi 250, while what I did follows shortly. Please note that I did not use "remove-short-arcs" before, I added it *because* there were a few of these unconnected roads in this region and I thought that --remove-short-arcs would fix that. Now I'm not so sure anymore ;-) I'll be happy to test new options and I hope this will help to improve mkgmap (if not, please ignore ;-) Best regards, Valentijn Sessink #!/bin/sh memory=1700m kaart=`mktemp -d` cd $kaart echo 'Downloading Netherlands...' wget 'http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/netherlands.osm.bz2' bunzip2 netherlands.osm.bz2 echo "Downloading mkgmap.jar... wget 'http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/snapshots/mkgmap-latest.tar.gz' tar -zxf mkgmap-latest.tar.gz # this turns out to be mkgmap-r1080 echo "Downloading splitter...
