2. At least you could put "OSM" in the name 😉 Since the name of the map is defined in the TDB file, it should be possible to define it at generation time so that it reflects the map selection the user made... It would be a lot easier for users that want to use several maps.

Yes, I could add OSM in the name somewhere, however "OpenFietsmap Lite" doesn't have OSM in it either...

I can also make the name user configurable, but why not make more things configurable , like the product id or series id? I would like to, eventually, if this is possible with precompiled tiles. But it would be yet another project and to be honest I'm currently not looking forward to implementing it...lot's of points of failures to handle.

3. BaseCamp and recent versions of MapSource support the new gmap format as well. You have to put the gmap folder inside the gmapi folder (it's not a file, although it appears to be so for Mac users) into the folder C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps (Vista/W7); then BC and MS are able to use the map. You could also install the gmap(i) with JaVaWa GMTK.

I installed BaseCamp a few days ago on a Windows VM and it didn't seem to recognise the gmapi folder as something it would happily read so I didn't really try any of the files in it's subdirectories. I'll try again.

Edit: I've got a command line Linux version of JaVaWa MapConverter...

Interesting 🙂 Terms of use are...?

Edit: Ah, found the 'voorwaarden' button on your website. I don't see any problems for using MapConverter for the maps, correct?
