I think you need to include the --transparent argument in your mkgmap command line. I don't know about the Oregon, but it works on a 60CSX. The following Windows XP batch file lists all the command line options available to a particular version of mkgmap to a text file called mkgmap_options.txt. It should be on a single line until the pause. java.exe -Xmx512M -jar "c:\program files\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar" --help=options > mkgmap_options.txt pause _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
