As a further check, I just downloaded a new map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
and tried that. Still not working.

If I try to navigate to a waypoint, it says that there is no routable
map available. But if if I try to visit a recent find, it finds a
route and mentions road names and the like. Not sure whether that is
coming out of some cache, or whether some aspect of the routing is still
working.

The log and licence files from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ do not
mention the version of mkgmap used. 
The map is at pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic/10-11-2018/387c09aab3ba73bbc48e657f6290d60e for the next 4 days.

I selected Generic Routable version without a TYP file for simplicity.
The previous version which failed was "Generic Routable".

As before, my contour maps are working. I thought that they had been
generated with mkgmap, but I might be wrong.

As before, there is nothing displayed on the screen: only the contours,
waypoints, photo icons and so on. Just noything from the OSM enabled
map.

Is there anything simple that I can do to help debug the problem?
