mkgmap Description

An Open Street Map to Garmin format converter Mkgmap is a converter that takes map data from the Open Street Map project and outputs img files that can be used in Garmin GPS devices.The program does not send the created maps to the GPS unit. This can be done with another program such as sendmap or qlandkarte. If your GPS device has a removable SD card, then you can just create a gmapsupp.img file and copy it to the cards in the Garmin directory. Here are some key features of "mkgmap": · Generates a map directly from a file saved from JOSM or from an extract of the main OSM planet file. · Converts several .osm files in one run of the program to create a map tile set. · Creates a .tdb file and an overview map that can be used to view the maps in MapSource or QLandkarte. · Creates a gmapsupp.img file that can be copied directly to an SD card. · Can also combine previously produced .img files into one gmapsupp.img file. · Create a .tdb and overview map from previously produced .img files. · The mapping between OSM features features in the Garmin map can be customised. · Transliteration of characters to ascii where that is possible to enable viewing on low end devices or for international maps. · Character set can be specified for display on capable GPS devices. · Control over the zoom levels that any feature appears at. Requirements: · Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment What's New in This Release: · Shields are displayed on highways. · Extended/Marine types have been added, providing more line types. · A new option, make-cycleways, to synthesise cycle ways on roads that have a separate cycle lane has been added. · There are many bugfixes and routing improvements. · This will be the last release that works with Java 1.5.
