[mkgmap-dev] Setting up a test environment for mkgmap routingtests

Tue Apr 28 16:10:33 BST 2009

did some experiments and found the overview map mast be an 8 digit  
number. this seems a limitation of mkgmap. this is not a mapsource  
requirement. mapsource is a bit strange. for me it never worked with -- 
product-id
try  just --family-name --family-id --series-name
I don't use mapsource anymore since gmapi-builder supports the direct  
conversion to Roadtrip. And Roadtrip is way more stable :)
