Andrew You could open both img files with GpsMapEdit (www.geopainting.com --for Windows only) to combine them, save as Polish Map Format (.mp) and then compile the result with cGPSMapper (www.cgpsmapper.com) and put it back on your device as gmapsupp.img.

For example, this week is the first week a way has crossed 16 tile boundaries (which throws a warning) but since it turns out that it's only someone making a massive box around the NPE zone it's not much to worry about. But other times it's been other things. Excuses, excuses Cheers, Andy ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] OSM on Ubuntu UK podcast
Hello, I know the answer ;) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin This is the description how to make your own maps for the garmins http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download Here are ready to use maps for the garmin units. Simply copy the gmapsupp.img into the garmin-folder on your GPS. Sometimes you need to rename it from some other name into gmapsupp.img. If you want an up-to-date very small area you can use the export function of the slippy map at www.openstreetmap.org. Select a (rather small) area as your view, click on export, select OpenStreetMap XML data. Save the file, process it with mkgmap. upload to your GPS be happy :) ciao Florian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:52:27 +0100, Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists) wrote: Another podcast that 80n and I did at LugRadio live, this time a really great quality audio from Ubuntu UK podcast. http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/2008/07/31/s01e11-blowin-in-the-wind/ One of you talks of a means of uploading a vector? map to Garmins. This is just the thing I need in order to locate areas on my travels which aren't mapped yet. Is there a numpty's how to for getting, say, the SE of England onto a Garmin 76csx? Or is this more for the newbies list?

There's a page on the wiki devoted to this[1], someone produces a map for the UK[2] already but it looks like it isn't as frequently updated as you might like, I certainly appreciate getting daily changes when I'm mapping a given area over a period of a few days. I generate my own maps of Iceland daily and publish them online[3] and you could do something similar if you'd like, just get the OSM file for the UK from download.geofabrik.de and turn it into an .img file using mkgmap. You can see it all working in this flickr set [4] which shows a 60csx, it's equivalent to your 76csx except for the casing. 1. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin 2. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download 3. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Garmin_map_of_Iceland 4. http://flickr.com/photos/avarab/sets/72157606321727527/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
