Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

On the Dutch forum I just published a small dos batch script that can combine Lambertus gmapsupp's into one single mapset for Mapsource or Basecamp:
http://mijndev.openstreetmap.nl/~ligfie … _Combi.zip

The readme.txt file is written in Dutch but since you understand some of the basics of mkgmap its not too hard to understand how this works.

For Lambertus Maps you only need to change the typ file in the mkgmap.bat file (set typfile= (empty for none, or mapnik.txt) because the default is for my OFM maps). You can also change the FID (default is 20122) and mapset name to your choice (default is OSM_combi). You can also add gmapsupp to the resources\mkgmap.args file to make one gmapsupp file of the whole combined mapset (please note that the last line in this file must be an empty line!).

In the Input folder you put the different gmapsupp's that you want to combine. Gmt.exe will unpack these and put the single img's in the Map folder.
You can also put the single tiles in the Map folder but dont include the index files there. After the gmt process mkgmap.jar will create the index files (and a gmapsupp if specified).

Installation of the mapset in the Map folder can be done either by running/compiling the nsi file (with nsis) or Mapsettoolkit or Javawa's Mapconverter.

This method can also be used for including contour lines on Lambertus maps, but in Mapsource the contours are not always visible, in Basecamp the rendering is better.
Also other layers are possible, like hiking or cycling route layers, which can be downloaded from other osm sources (Note: both typ files must be compatible!)

Have fun!
