[mkgmap-dev] success with roadtrip, gmapibuilder

Fri Jul 31 23:41:15 BST 2009

I have been trying for a while to build my own maps with mkgmap, and was
getting bad maps into RoadTrip.  I figured out what I was doing wrong
and thought I'd share it.  I had run the splitter and then mkgmap,
creating a gmapsupp.img overall map file in addition to all the tiles.
I ran gmapibuilder with the gmapsupp.img instead of the individual
tiles, and this produces a totally broken gmapi.

I spiffed up the caveats section under command line to try to warn others:

Here's what I'm doing now, and it seems to work except routing is broken
on my vista hcx, perhaps due to some messed up ways in the mass data.

#!/bin/sh

INPUT=$1

if [ "$INPUT" = "" ]; then
    INPUT=massachusetts.osm
fi

cd $HOME/OSM || exit 1

if true; then
    rm -f 6324* 40000001.* areas.list template.args
    java -Xmx2000m -jar splitter.jar \
	--max-nodes=500000 \
	$INPUT \
	> OUT.01.splitter 2>&1

    ed template.args <<EOF
g/^description:/d
w
EOF
fi

# --net is implied by --route

ls -lh gmapsupp.img
