README.examples for mkgmap

This file contains a number of examples of how to run mkgmap.  It does
not attempt to label any way correct, but rather to give a number of
situations and goals and show ways that people think are useful for
that situation.  It is formatted to enable reasonably easy cut and paste.

* OSM maps for use on garmin

This example is for the goal of producing a maximally usable OSM map
for Garmin, intended for use rather than to assist with mapping.

# Split the Massachusetts osm file (from cloudmade).
java -Xmx2000m -jar splitter.jar massachusetts.osm > OUT.01.splitter 2>&1

# Create the map.  Family-id is arbitrary.  Use the areas created by
# the splitter.  Create an overview map and a tdb file.
