Hello, I tried to generate a map using the mdr version of mkgmap and I am a little bit confused. I use the following command lines: java -Dlog.config=..\logging.properties -Xmx3000M -jar mkgmap-r1260\mkgmap.jar --net --route --description="OSM Detroit area map" --mapname=10000001 Detroit_091003.osm java -Dlog.config=..\logging.properties -jar mkgmap-r1261mdr\mkgmap.jar --family-id=2804 --series-name="OSM Maps" --family-name="OSM Maps" --overview-mapname=Detroit --tdbfile --index 10000001.img First of all, I get some output that I do not quite understand: for section 11, use pointer size of 2 for section 10, use pointer size of 2 for section 7, use pointer size of 2 for section 5, use pointer size of 2 Then I get two img files: Detroit.img and Detroit_mdr.img. If I copy all the generated files to the appropriate directory I set up for MapSource, I can display the map but I have no index. I then tried to rename Detroit_mdr.img to Detroit.img. In this case, MapSource crashes at startup. Any help on what I am doing wrong here and how I can get a working index would be appreciated. Thanks, N.

In this case, MapSource crashes at startup. Thats not an good idea. Leave it like it is created by mkgmap. But you have to make 2 new entrys in the registry. One for MDX file, one for the MDR file. Here an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\WkR_MKGMAP] "TYP"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR9421.TYP" "ID"=hex:cd,24 "IDX"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.mdx" "MDR"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR_mdr.img" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\WkR_MKGMAP\1] "TDB"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.tdb" "LOC"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap" "BMAP"="E:\\Gps_Daten\\Karten\\Fertige_Karten\\Eigene_Karten\\wkr_mkgmap\\WKR.img" cheers Gert
Gert, That looks much better. Thanks for your help. Now an issue that I would like to report (sorry if this is already known): if I go to the Features tab in the Find places window and start typing in the City field, Map Source crashes. In the same place, if I type in the State or Country fields and hit FInd, an error message pops up and nothing is found.o Thanks, N.
