Hi Richard, If you're up to XP; why not use Garmin's nRoute plus OSM. Perfect auto-routing moving map. Garmin no longer support or provide downloads for nRoute so have a look at this GPSAustralia post for details: http://www.gpsaustralia.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14411highlight=nroute John

[talk-au] re Coastline rendering in Garmins Mapsource

2010-02-03 Per discussione John Kitchener
Seems Openmtbmap has recently got 'sea polygons' organized. :) Here is a Mapsource Noosa view. It's not 100% for the entire coastline, but it's pretty damn good. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6421/noosamtb.jpg Regards John k ___ Talk-au

Matt wrote: Coastlines (and the inverse islands issues) have been ongoing for ages for the Mkgmap produced Garmin files. There's a --generate-sea switch for Mkgmap that sometimes works fine, other times, not so good. It's hit and miss enough that I've never enabled it for the maps I generate.

I'll be downloading the Oceania file from http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/australia-oceania.osm.bz2 tomorrow morning and making a new Garmin map from it. I'll report back on the status of the coastline anomaly. John H Thanks John John K

[talk-au] Routable maps

2009-12-22 Per discussione John Kitchener
An easy routable OSM source is http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php Once you've selected your tile(s) you get emailed a link where to download the file from with a choice of installation possibilities - VERY COOL. The map tiles are far from perfect and update is monthly (I think). John
