[mkgmap-dev] creating a fool-proof mapsource installer across different versions

From maning sambale emmanuel.sambale at gmail.com on Thu May 28 03:55:24 BST 2009

This solution work on MapSource ver 61.11 and 6.15.6

mkgmap syntax:

time java -Xmx512m -jar mkgmap.jar --code-page=1252 \
--tdbfile --gmapsupp --latin1 --country-abbr=PHI
--country-name=PHILIPPINES --road-name-pois --add-pois-to-areas \
--no-poi-address --family-id=639 --family-name="OSM_PHIL"
--overview-mapname=40000001 \
--route --description="OSM_PHIL" /path/philippines.osm


registry:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\OSM_PHIL]
"ID"=hex:7f,02

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\OSM_PHIL\1]
"LOC"="C:\\OSM\\"
"BMAP"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.img"
"TDB"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.tdb"

Thanks to all your advice
