Hi,

...

Please have a look and correct if there are errors or a better way in doing it.

Good write up.

I noticed that the options all begin with a single dash rather than two. So should be like this:

java -Xmx512m -jar mkgmap.jar --code-page=1252 --tdbfile \ --gmapsupp --latin1 --country-abbr=PHI --country-name=PHILIPPINES \ --road-name-pois --route --description=”Openstreetmap Philippines” \ /path/to/your/data/philippines.osm

Did some trials to find a working combination. these options worked for me. I use MapsetToolkit to install/uninstall maps for Mapsource. tile splitter --mapid=41000001 mapid must be a 8 digit number, last digit should be 1, multiple tiles will be numbered with increasing numbers, mkgmap will then use the same number for .img files mkgmap options to use maps in Mapsource, don't use other options like mapname, product-id .... - series-name should be set to identify multiple maps in Mapsource when selecting them. If not used all maps are name "OSM Map" - family-id must be set to different values for multiple maps to make them available in parallel in Mapsource - overview-mapname must be 8 digits otherwise Mapsource crashes. optional but nice to name the overview map same as map tiles. mkgmap default is to name 1st tile xxxxxxx1 ... and overview map xxxxxxx0 - family-name, description are optional, not sure where this info is used, maybe on the device. tdbfile family-id=41 family-name=OSM_xxxx series-name=OSM_xxxx description=OSM_routing_map overview-mapname=41000000 On 7 Mar 2009, at 6:57 , Paul Ortyl wrote:

Hi,

staying on the topic of how-to I have another question, for which I have not found any working (form me) example. That is, what map/product IDs and/or other options must be passed to splitter and mkgmap to allow many parallel OSM maps within MapSource/Garmin. I would like to see somewhere on documentation or how-to document an EXAMPLE for generating two maps which may be seen within MapSource. I suppose, that is is as simple as using different MapIDs, but it still did not work for me.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
