[mkgmap-dev] understanding mapsource registry

Fri Mar 27 14:10:44 GMT 2009

I created a contour map using the following lines in mkgmap

java -Xmx512m -jar mkgmap.jar --tdbfile --gmapsupp --latin1
--country-abbr=PHI --country-name=PHILIPPINES  --family-id=439
--product-id=478 --overview-mapname=30000001 --mapname=20000001
--gmapsupp --transparent --description="Contour Elevation" *.osm.gz

To view it in mapsource I need to make a registry, I found a sample
registry which I then modified like this:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\30000001]
"ID"=hex:7f,02
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\30000001\2a6]
"LOC"="C:\\CONTOUR\\"
"BMAP"="C:\\CONTOUR\\30000001.img"
"TDB"="C:\\CONTOUR\\30000001.tdb"

Looking at the sample registry here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_MapSource#Tech_stuff

It looks different.  And I don't what the hex here means:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\30000001]
"ID"=hex:7f,02
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\30000001\2a6]

What would be the minimum registry entries and what values should I
place?
