When invoking mkgmap, instead of giving it all those *.osm files, you  
just use "test-map:all-elements" as the input file name. This is a  
virtual file so to speak and will generate the test map. Normally it  
is centered around London, which might be not what you want. By  
setting the *environment variables* BASE_LAT and BASE_LON you can  
place the test map at any coordinate you like. How you set environment  
variables depends on your operating system. On a Mac (using the  
standard bash shell) and also on Linux with the bash shell you can use  
"export BASE_LAT=..." and "export BASE_LON=..." to set it in the  
terminal. You'll have to use the same terminal to start mkgmap,  
because the environment variables are separate for each terminal.
