[mkgmap-dev] Incompatibility after recent changes?

Sun Jun 4 12:26:15 BST 2017

Hi,

since the mkgmap website invites to ask any question:

I am currently trying to find the reason why my Garmin does not accept
maps generated with mkgmap anymore. I am not too familiar and too deep
into mkgmap details. I'm using an etrex 30 (and used an older etrex
before), and I am using a self written script to generate maps from
openstreetmap with the mkgmap tool chain. I used that script for years
and plenty of trips, and it always worked, but now the garmin simply
does not offer that maps in the map selection menu anymore.

What my script does is

 1. Get
    http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/reunion-latest.osm.pbf  
    store as Reunion.pbf

 2. [ combine several pbf files with osmosis if needed, but not in this
    case , problem occurs in both cases with and without osmosis]

 3. splitter --mapid=63241001 --output-dir=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g
    --geonames-file=/opt/Geo/data/cities15000.txt
    --write-kml=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/splitter.kml Reunion.pbf

 4. mkgmap  --gmapsupp  --index  --x-split-name-index  --route 
    --precomp-sea=/opt/Geo/data/sea.zip  --generate-sea=multipolygon 
    --add-pois-to-areas  --add-pois-to-lines 
    --location-autofill=is_in,nearest  --housenumbers 
    --output-dir=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g  --mapname=Reunion 
    --description=Karte Reunion 04.06.2017  --country-name=Testland 
    --country-abbr=TLD  --region-name=Testregion  --region-abbr=TRG 
    --area-name=Testarea  --series-name=Testseries  --drive-on=right 
    --latin1  --read-config=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/template.args 
    --family-name=HBOX

 5. copy the resulting /tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/gmapsupp.img as
    reunion.img in the Garmin folder of the etrex 30

This worked for years, and since I am never issuing the commands
manually, but always with my script, I believe that the commands have
always been the same.

But now, the etrex (same firmware since last trip, where it worked) does
not recognize the map at all and does not offer it for selection.

Can anyone hint me what I am doing wrong?

regards
Hadmut
