There are various programs around for printing out the stuff in IMG
files. I have a hacked version of imgdecode that is somewhat more
useful than the original and there is always the "display" code written
by Steve.

I am simply using cmp -l to do a byte-for-byte comparison of
the files generated by various runs of mkgmap and then using imgdecode
and display to locate where the differences reside.

Cheers,

Mark
