Hi, One GPS user sent me his comments on my OSM Philippines Garmin maps [http://esambale.wikispaces.com/osmphil_gramin].
It could probably improve the mkgmap. - no poi nor city index - severely jagged lines (i know it comes from your compiler...), I had a go at the osm compiler; it's fast! - why a transparent map? sorry-osm compiler. on some units you can't turn off the base map so your map will interfere with garmins base map. - size of 3013 is too high for older garmin units, they won't be able to redraw fast enough - automate installation process to GPS unit. cheers, maning -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: maning sambale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: OSM on Gramin for Metro Manila, Philippines Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:14:35 +0800 Hi, I intend to regularly maintain img file for Garmin GPS for my mapping area (Metro Manila Philippines) [http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat=14.594717284692324&lon=121.03235961646361] I created a page download for this [http://esambale.wikispaces.com/osmphil_gramin]. As I currently don't have a Garmin unit now, can somebody please get the files and test if it works on your Garmin GPS. The first file can be found here: [http://esambale.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/20080102.zip] If some Garmin users in the Philippines can use these maps, maybe they can be encouraged to contribute. cheers, maning _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
