Re: [mkgmap-dev] Help with registry for Basecamp

[Dave Jackman]

Hi Diego, Rather than having to edit the registry use the –gmapi option in mkgmap which will create a folder with a .gmap extension. Copy or move this folder to C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps and the map will be visible to Basecamp. Note ProgramData is a hidden folder.  This avoids having to edit the registry or create reg files.

Its working on all Windows Versions 10 and 11 since i use maps created by mkgmap Am 26.02.2023 um 17:21 schrieb skelter helter: Hello I need some help with this email from Eric sent here on the list some weeks ago: If you are creating mkgmap tiles and you do not need to distribute your map to others, then the NSIS installer is not required. Initial installation requires importing registration data (.reg file). Creating an NSIS installer takes time and                 then installing setup.exe also takes time.   For instance:   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families\BIKE_Benelux] "ID"=hex:4a,9c "IDX"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.mdx" "MDR"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000_mdr.img" "TYP"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010.TYP"   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families\BIKE_Benelux\1] "BMAP"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.img" "LOC"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux" "TDB"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.tdb"   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 ? Thank you !!
