<div dir="ltr">If you use gmapi format there are however also many disadvantages. Cannot quickly create a gmapsupp.img with mkgmap. Export of gmapsupp.img with MapInstall is slower while some other things are just different. It's more complicated to find bugs with multiple maps (if for example you do not move them by hand but by Garmin Mapinstall - and then some maps are in user and some in general folder. There are actually several folders that are possible to be used). <div>I personally really prefer the old format and using registry vs and info.xml and gmapi format. Best of both would be if you could .img format together with info.xml instead of registry. Sadly that isn't possible.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, 27 Feb 2023 at 01:04, Dave Jackman <<a href="mailto:dfjkman@gmail.com">dfjkman@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-8673838494277783946"><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);background-image:initial;line-height:initial"><div id="m_-8673838494277783946response_container_BBPPID" style="outline:none" dir="auto"> <div name="BB10" id="m_-8673838494277783946BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"> <div name="BB10" id="m_-8673838494277783946BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%">Hi Diego,</div><div name="BB10" id="m_-8673838494277783946BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%"><br></div><div name="BB10" id="m_-8673838494277783946BB10_response_div_BBPPID" dir="auto" style="width:100%">Rather than having to edit the registry use the –gmapi option in mkgmap which will create a folder with a .gmap extension.

Is there a way to create the REG file with Mkgmap, or do I
have to create it by myself after generating the map ? If so,
what is the meaning of the ID value and how do I choose the
right one ?</div>
