[mkgmap-dev] Commit: r868: Implement routing for .osm input files.

Wed Feb 11 10:14:25 GMT 2009

Hi,

I tried the latest snapshot:

mkgmap-latest.tar.gz 	Feb 11 	01:41 	mkgmap-latest.tar.gz

And tested in my Garmin, I generated the img with this:

java -Xmx512m -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 --gmapsupp --route philippines.osm

The file is 4.5 MB, my previous routable map from mkgmap-route-r806 is 8.5 MB.

The city search is working but cities have the following label:
i.e. Las Pinas, GBR

AFAIK GBR is for Great Britain

The routing defaults to the Garmin supplied map and not the OSM mkgmap output.

Any idea why?
