Please let me know, if there is a simpler way to perform .img to mapsource conversion!
Thorsten, you don't need to convert any output from mkgmap. You don't need cgpsmapper, and you don't need gmaptool. In addition to the *.img files, mkgmap can output the preview .img file and .tdb file for Mapsource. Just insert in your java command line --tdbfile and --overview-mapname= followed by 8 digits. Then create your registry keys.
Thx Chris. This method is more straightforward. However, I did not provide a family/product-id when converting .osm.gz to .img. Therefore, I tried to use mkgmap on the .img tiles to assign this IDs with $ mkgmap --tdbfile --overview-mapname="mapset00" --product-id=5 --family-id=20 <tiles*.img> Then, I modified the wine registry to use the ID (20=0x0014 => REG_BINARY 14 00) but I had no success (mapsource refuses to start). Then I started from the beginning and again converted from .osm.gz to .img with the family-id and product-id parameter - and still no success. Any hints? -- Thorsten
