creating a fool-proof mapsource installer across different versions
Hi, Somewhat off-topic with mkgmap but closely related, I have been receiving numerous reports of mapsource install error of my OSM-PH garmin maps I create mapsource installer using winrar's sfx version, for details: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/diy-garmin-routable-map-from-openst... My mapsource version 6.11 and it installs OK. Problems persist on other versions like 6.13 and mostly 6.15.6. Any advice in creating fool-proof install for MapSource? My registry key is like this: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\40000001] "ID"=hex:7f,02 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\40000001\678] "LOC"="C:\\OSM\\" "BMAP"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.img" "TDB"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.tdb" mkgmap syntax: java -Xmx512m -jar dist/mkgmap.jar --code-page=1252 --tdbfile \ --gmapsupp --latin1 --country-abbr=PHI --country-name=PHILIPPINES \ --road-name-pois --add-pois-to-areas --no-poi-address --family-id=639 \ --family-name="OSM_PHIL" --product-id=678 --overview-mapname=40000001 \ --route --description="OSM_PHILIPPINES" /path/to/your/osm/file/philippines.osm - - cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------
For my installer I use the product registry key and it works fine if you install only one map from http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php. The installer is NSIS (which can also make Windows executables under Linux). The script to make the executable is included in the download directory if you request a custom map build, e.g.: http://planetosm.oxilion.nl/~lambertus/garmin/routable/13-05-2009/6fd91a7e76... I have no idea how to use the family registry keys properly, so for my installer I chose to use the product key only. I'm also interested in some explanation on how to make a proper family install. maning sambale wrote:

Don't use --product-id this let's Mapsource crash most of the time or you can't even start a map after install On 26 May 2009, at 14:05 , maning sambale wrote:

Strange, I have about 200 people downloading maps per day. Most of them will use the MapSource installer which uses the product-id to register the map and I never receive complaints about MapSource crashes. Apollinaris Schoell wrote:

It doesn't happen all time. Since I dropped it it never happened again ... On 26 May 2009, at 15:25 , Lambertus wrote:
