Thanks for your answer. Better Overview map sound good, because it was 
not yet really correct.

Could you look into the issue that for big maps like germany.osm.bz2 
index creation happens "there is not enough space in a single .osm img...."
Garmin City Navigator 2009 _mdr.img is 407MB big, so there are some 
limatations that are not needed for mdr.img
