[mkgmap-dev] Combining img files to a single map

Tue Nov 1 13:09:31 GMT 2022

I'm had problems combining different maps to a single file with mkgmap 
(latest version but this has been a long term problem)

What are the requirements for combining? I seem to not find any 
documentation about it other than that mapname should be different on files.

I'm generating multiple files, all with different family-id, product-id, 
mapname and map description. They all use different typ-files matching 
the file family/product-id of the compiled map.

Combining with gmaptool (command-line on linux) has been successful with 
"./gmt -jo gmapsupp.img basemap.img fixme.img oneway.img". (Using a very 
old 2015 version, just because I have had it installed)

Combine attempts with like "java -jar mkgmap/mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp 
basemap.img fixme.img oneway.img" give very small files and I get 
warnings like "WARNING (global): Could not copy MAKEGMAP.MPS 
uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.FileExistsException: File MAKEGMAP.MPS already exists"

What is the correct way to go? (Only my basemap has routing information, 
other files are overlay info like fixme marking, oneway arrows and similar)
