Hello, I know that mkgmap does not include the index in the gmapsupp file. If you want this you have to use MapSource to build the gmapsupp. Is there any plan for mkgmap to support this? What are the technical limitations that prevents it to do it? Thanks, N.

It does save the index file in the gmapsupp. I also had some problems making it working. I found the answer somewhere on the internet. what I do now is to run mkgmap twice. In the first run it generates the routable maps. In the second run it combines them in a gmapsupp and builds the index. This way I can search for an address and let my garmin route me to it. Simon

Can you give more Infos or perhaps your script ? Thx 2010/3/4, Simon Siemonsma <simon@siemonsma.name>:
