Hello guys, I'm trying to create a garmin map of australia. I splitted the downloaded extract from GeoFabrik and used this template.args to compile: family-id=4421 product-id=1 family-name=AU Base draw-priority=25 transparent=no charset=latin1 code-page=1252 style-file=..\mkgmap\styles\ style=default name-tag-list=name:de,int_name,name:en,name remove-short-arcs overview-mapname=63000000 generate-sea=multipolygon series-name=AU Base tdbfile=yes mapname: 63000001 description: AU Base input-file: 63000001.osm.gz mapname: 63000002 description: AU Base input-file: 63000002.osm.gz [...] mapname: 63000011 description: AU Base input-file: 63000011.osm.gz But what I get now is a big mess-up. It looks like almost the continent is flooded :) Is there a workaround to make that look better? Perhaps another generate-sea option? If not, do I have to leave out the generate-sea option and be happy with just the coastline drawn as a pure black line? Best regards

Is there a workaround to make that look better? Perhaps another generate-sea option?
You could try generate-sea=polygons but note that you then need a rule in your polygons file to generate a land polygon. e.g. natural=land [0x010100 resolution 12] and a corresponding polygon defined in your TYP file Hope this helps, Mark

I forgot to say, that for a quick test you could use an existing polygon type for the land polygons. The map would look weird but at least you could quickly tell if the land/sea interface is good. Cheers, Mark
