[mkgmap-dev] address index broken on GPS (etrex 30) again - only when sent with Mapsource or Mapinstall. Working if gmapsupp.img created by mkgmap.

Mon Jan 14 12:35:42 GMT 2013

So here comes the promised report. I cannot find a real recession, and 
am a bit buffled, that the change below works. But so it is...
.exe can be unpacked with 7zip or other unarchivers that understand 
lzma2 (not lzma !!!).

First the links to the files:
openmtbmap.org/gmapsupp_broken.img
& openmtbmap.org/veloslovakia_broken.exe

openmtbmap.org/gmapsupp_working.img
& openmtbmap.org/veloslovakia_working.exe

Actually if you install them in Mapsource, you will notice, that the 
"working" one is displaying as "openmtbmap". That's due to a typo on 
doing the change.
I noticed that plain maps consisting of .img files created during one 
mkgmap run, are always working (so mapsetx.... files are working in both 
maps). mapsetc files however, are somehow broken in the broken.exe. This 
only happens if gmapsupp is created with Mapinstall/Basecamp or mkgmap. 
If mkgmap creates the gmapsupp.img they are as said always working. So 
here is the change in procedure of making the map (the change is that on 
the first run of mkgmap, I included the 7*.img --- If I include the 
7*.img on the .img files, then the created mapset files are broken for 
Mapsource/Basecamp):

However actually the above produced map is make with the following 
command (but that shouldn't matter - only some things are changed in 
order, and I missed a blank space before --series-name):
