Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Hi!
I have two questions:

Good questions 🙂

1. Is it possible to compile a TYP file into gmapsupp files by default? I requested a map and it uses internal garmin styles which look quite ugly (and don't render sea areas for example).

Yes, it's possible but there are no good public generic TYP files (afaik, although one is mentioned/developed on this forum, but I haven't looked at it yet). The sea is not rendered because Mkgmap could not produce a good quality sea, at least not until shortly ago. It has become better but, again, I haven't really looked at it yet.

2. Maybe this idea was mentioned before but I missed it - how about pre-generating most popular countries maps and upload them to file sharing service like hotfile or rapidshare? It would certainly free a lot of bandwidth, disk and CPU usage from your server.

Good idea, but I want things to be fully automated, because otherwise it costs me way too much time. So I'll check it out and see if things can be scripted.
