Re: [talk-au] osmaustralia.org website and Garmin .img files - current status ?

2016-05-05 Thread Matt White
My apologies - fixing that process has been on my list for a long time 
(years...). The computer it runs on for some reason just shuts down 
randomly, so I often boot it up at work and let it run, but it doesn't 
stay up long enough to get through a generation run.


I moved most of the scripts off the old computer today onto a newer 
machine, and rebuilt them, but got side tracked at work and only got 
some basic testing done. I have upgraded the mkgmap version as well, so 
hopefully a few of the newer features will appear (I've got to 
experiment with a few of the settings, and I need to clean up a couple 
of the tpy files)


I'll try and finish it tomorrow hopefully - just got to cleanup the zip 
and upload process and we will be away.


If anyone wants the various scripts I use so they can run the whole 
thing themselves (it's on Windows not linux, so it's a little bit of 
batch file fun, although I was going to port them to powershell for 
fun), email me - the new file/folder layout I put together today makes 
it a little easier to manage the various files, and easier to add in 
other areas to generate.

They used to be updated roughly weekly, but haven’t been updated since 
February.


(I use these files to update my Garmin GPS with the results of my (and 
everyone else’s) OSM updates.)

Re: [talk-au] osmaustralia.org website and Garmin .img files -, current status ?

2016-05-05 Thread Ian Bennett

Ian,
I haven't used that site for ages.
	I get the australia-oceania pbf file from geofabrik.de (updated daily) and use splitter.jar and 
mkgmap.jar (both from www.mkgmap.org.uk) to create my own gmapsupp.img file (I'm still using a 
GPSMap 60CSx).

I do this mainly because I can merge contour lines from Shonky Maps 
onto the final img file.
	The whole process took a little over an hour on my old P4 running at 2.66GHz with 2G RAM. Haven't 
timed it on the new rocket ship yet ;-)

Happy to pass on my process if anyone is interested.
