First off I'd like to thank everyone who has been working on this, it's a great addition for anyone using OSM on a Garmin device. I had a go at producing a routable map for my local area but whenever I transfer it to my eTrex Vista HCX it always routes on the in-built basemap no matter what I try. I built the maps with the following commands[0]: * wget -O meonvalley-20081207.osm "http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/map?bbox=-1.2514,50.8892,-1.0928,50.9916" * perl osm2mp.pl meonvalley-20081207.osm > meonvalley-20081207.mp * java -Xmx512M -jar mkgmap-route-779/mkgmap.jar --route meonvalley-20081207.mp The image is then transferred to the Garmin via USB mass storage. If anyone who has successfully built a routable map can shed any light on what I'm doing wrong I would be most grateful. Cheers, Andy [0] I've uploaded copies of the files created in the process to http://www.andystreet.me.uk/garmin/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
