[mkgmap-dev] Feature Request: mkgmap able to create gmap archive (BaseCamp)

Sat Dec 3 13:22:37 GMT 2016

Hello together,

I'm wondering if it would be possible that mkgmap is able to 
create/convert maps also in the gmap (gmapi) format used for BaseCamp on 
Windows and Macintosh.

Allthough the old image directory style format is still supported at 
least on Windows BaseCamp with fiddling around in the registry having a 
gmap directory is much more convenient.
As the gmapsupp format can be created already with mkgmap the only 
missing format would be gmap format to have the complete chain covered 
without any external tool.... and this would be very much preferable and 
appreciated.

Any chance ? I'm happy to test whatever is needed.

Cheers
Patrik
