Hi! This is my 1st post after 'discovering' OSM today :-) I almost became totally frustrated that I'll be force to use my Garmin GPS (which I plan to buy in a few days) only with proprietary tools. :-/ Fortunately, there is OSM project and possibility to contribute back :-) Ævar> .tdb is to tell garmin mapsource which .img files makeup the Ævar> mapset. You don't need it unless you're using mapsource. Soon enough I've encounter problem when attempting to use QLandkartdGT which does not import *.img files but only *.tdb files. (old version of QLandkarte was importing *.img files.) I was able to create my 'own' map by downloading *.osm data and using mkgmap with --tdb option in order to load the map, but I've found some free pre-made Garmin maps available as compressed gmapsupp.img and author of QLandkarteGT suggested to use Windows app for splitting the map (I've found it by Googling as GMapTool.exe), but for me it does not make sense writing native Linux software and requiring to use Windows applications to load the maps :-/ So, I'm interested if mkgmap can do the same job as GMapTool (http://www.anpo.republika.pl/download.html) and split the *.img file so that one can then use: mkgmap --tdbfile --gmapsupp map1.img map2.img ...map2.img in order to get *.tdb file and be able to import the map into QlandkarteGT?
