Mkgmap can go direct from .osm to .img Presumably the .osm file you have is too large for a single tile so you will also need the splitter tool they provide
It's then a case of the following pseudo-code java -jar splitter.jar australia.osm java -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 *.osm.gz If you get errors with heap space when running mkgmap try the following java -Xmx1024M -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 *.osm.gz The value of -Xmx can go to 2048M on 32 bit or higher on 64 If you want extra options (including experimental routable maps) then a suitable command line might also be java -Xmx2048M -jar --latin1 --gmapsupp --route --net --code-page=1252 --country-name="Australia" -- country-abbr=AUS --tdbfile --tdb-v4 *.osm.gz Be careful with wrapping on the above It may also be quicker to gunzip the files manually before running them through mkgmap Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Morris > Sent: 24 February 2009 09:29 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [OSM-newbies] OSM -> Garmin > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hello everyone, > I have tried in vain to generate Garmin maps from OSM data > (specifically, the australia extract of planet.osm). > I am using osm2mp to convert to Polish format, then I have > tried cgpsmapper to go from .mp to .img and hit problems: > error R011: NODID points cannot be closer than 5.4m > > I tried using mkgmap but ran into problems that way too (I > forget the details). > > 1) Am I doing it right? > 2) Can a Garmin map be built from OSM easily some other way > (preferably Linux, but Windows if I must)? > 3) Is there a free (as in speech) program equivalent to > cgpsmapper (specifically to go from Polish to Garmin)? > > Thanks for any tips. > > - -- > Tony Morris > http://tmorris.net/ > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFJo73EmnpgrYe6r60RAuLpAKC6+cyKm/ZVVyUQ40u5DPuA1gzfrwCgvJdE > 8N+O5tBOlU6NtAiVricOoaY= > =rHrQ > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > _______________________________________________ > newbies mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies > _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
