[mkgmap-dev] r2306 and r2307: gmapsupp.img not visible in BaseCamp

Sun Jun 24 09:26:42 BST 2012

Hi All,

I just started creating my own Garmin maps using mkgmap [1] and noted 
that the generated gmapsupp.img files work fine with BaseCamp (Version 
3.3.2.0, on Mac OS X) when using:

mkgmap-r2179
mkgmap-r2274
mkgmap-r2294
mkgmap-r2298

However, those generated with r2306 and r2307 are simply not visible 
under "My Garmin Devices". Not that I have a problem (as I am simply 
using r2298). I just thought it would be worth mentioning.
