I do not complain about that - I understand, Viking also had to close
support for Google maps recently.

Well, can you point me at some other great source of open-source maps
which I miss?

I've found them - that's how I learnt about mkgman and found pre-made
Garmin maps.

...or, at least, being able to import maps created from OSM (see my
reply to Oliver).

Give be a 'break...otoh, I'm not into C++ any longer, (maybe) Haskell or
Python script only ;)

Don't understand?

http://www.osm4you.com/ provides Garmin maps which cannot be imported or
loaded into Qlandkarte. Why is support for that bad-engineering?

PDFs can also be annotated, what to speak that Adobe sells product to
edit them...what a bad engineering ;)
