Hi. I still have no success to install mkgmap generated maps to mapsource (SVN 
version)

The call I used to generate the map was:

mkgmap --style-file=~/navi/maps/mkgmap.style/ --no-sorted-roads --net --route 
--code-page=1252 --country-abbr="EU" --tdbfile --overview-mapname=20051979 
--product-id=1 --family-id=20 ../*.osm.gz

It seems that it has something to do with the .tdb file. If I change only the 
specific registry entry so that a tdb file of another (independent but working) 
map is used, then mapsource starts.

Btw. Are you sure that overview-mapname has to be an 8 digit number? It seems 
that other maps also allow strings.
