[mkgmap-dev] creating a fool-proof mapsource installer across different versions

Wed May 27 04:21:41 BST 2009

So it should be:
 mkgmap syntax:
 java -Xmx512m -jar dist/mkgmap.jar
--code-page=1252 --tdbfile \
--gmapsupp --latin1 --country-abbr=PHI
--country-name=PHILIPPINES \
 --road-name-pois --add-pois-to-areas
--no-poi-address --family-name="OSM_PHIL"
--overview-mapname=40000001 \
--route --description="OSM_PHILIPPINES"
/path/to/your/osm/file/philippines.osm

omitting family-id and product-id

registry key should be:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\40000001]
"ID"=hex:7f,02

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\OSM_PHIL]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\OSM_PHIL\1]
"LOC"="C:\\OSM\\"
"BMAP"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.img"
"TDB"="C:\\OSM\\40000001.tdb"

I'm a bit perplexed with the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\40000001]
"ID"=hex:7f,02
