do you intend only to update the tile in your area while keeping the gmapsupp.img? Theoretically it's possible, but requires some manual work. > I am about to try mkgmap on gmapsupp.img and some fresh osm-data, but I > have no idea whether this will produce any sensible result. > > Does anyone have more insight into this? mkgmap is relatively simple to use. Why not do the following: * Rename gmapsupp.img on your device to something like gmapsupp-germany.img * Create a new one using your data and mkgmap * Copy this data as gmapsupp.img to your device * Go out mapping * When back reactivate the previous gmapsupp.img (if desired) Cheers, ce _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
