[mkgmap-dev] Routing issue to POI

Sat Mar 30 15:17:59 GMT 2013

If I go to Tools->Settings->Map->Map Info only the OSM map is enabled.

However I believe the basemap - if I understood correctly what the
basemap is - is always enabled
by default since when zooming out I can see mountains and (high)ways
outside the tiles I used for my osm map.
I tried by renaming gmapbmap.img to gmapbmap.iii and restart the
device, the result is worste since it can't route to most POIs/address
now.
By the way this also means that gmapbmap has some relations with
routing on the osm map... confused!!!

Do you have a second map installed and active, for example the basemap?

This looks like as if your map does not have routeable ways in the
near and the Garmin jumps to the basemap. At least this is what
happens if I see such a "broken" routing.

Solution: Disable the basemap.
