I copy a shortcut to the gmap folder to the maps folder rather than the whole thing. That saves C disk space. On Mon, 27 Feb 2023, 09:43 , <mkgmap-dev-request@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> wrote:

Rather than having to edit the registry use the –gmapi option in mkgmap which will create a folder with a .gmap extension. Copy or move this folder to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps and the map will be visible to Basecamp. Note ProgramData is a hidden folder.

This avoids having to edit the registry or create reg files.

Hello I need some help with this email from Eric sent here on the list some weeks ago:

*If you are creating mkgmap tiles and you do not need to distribute your map to others, then the NSIS installer is not required.*

*Initial installation requires importing registration data (.reg file).*

*Creating an NSIS installer takes time and then installing setup.exe <http://setup.exe> also takes time.*

*For instance:*

*Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00*

*[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families\BIKE_Benelux]*

*"ID"=hex:4a,9c*

*"IDX"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.mdx <http://40010000.mdx>"*

*"TDB"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.tdb <http://40010000.tdb>"*

Is there a way to create the REG file with Mkgmap, or do I have to create it by myself after generating the map ? If so, what is the meaning of the ID value and how do I choose the right one ?

Cannot quickly create a gmapsupp.img with mkgmap. Export of gmapsupp.img with MapInstall is slower while some other things are just different. It's more complicated to find bugs with multiple maps (if for example you do not move them by hand but by Garmin Mapinstall - and then some maps are in user and some in general folder. There are actually several folders that are possible to be used). I personally really prefer the old format and using registry vs and info.xml and gmapi format. Best of both would be if you could .img format together with info.xml instead of registry. Sadly that isn't possible.
