Hi, <br>
<br>
since the mkgmap website invites to ask any question:<br>
<br>
I am currently trying to find the reason why my Garmin does not
accept maps generated with mkgmap anymore. I am not too familiar and
too deep into mkgmap details. I'm using an etrex 30 (and used an
older etrex before), and I am using a self written script to
generate maps from openstreetmap with the mkgmap tool chain. I used
that script for years and plenty of trips, and it always worked, but
now the garmin simply does not offer that maps in the map selection
menu anymore. <br>
<br>
What my script does is<br>
<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Get
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/reunion-latest.osm.pbf">http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/reunion-latest.osm.pbf</a>
store as Reunion.pbf<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>[ combine several pbf files with osmosis if needed, but not in
this case , problem occurs in both cases with and without
osmosis]<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>splitter --mapid=63241001
--output-dir=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g
--geonames-file=/opt/Geo/data/cities15000.txt
--write-kml=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/splitter.kml
Reunion.pbf<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>mkgmap --gmapsupp --index --x-split-name-index --route
--precomp-sea=/opt/Geo/data/sea.zip
--generate-sea=multipolygon --add-pois-to-areas
--add-pois-to-lines --location-autofill=is_in,nearest
--housenumbers --output-dir=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g
--mapname=Reunion --description=Karte Reunion 04.06.2017
--country-name=Testland --country-abbr=TLD
--region-name=Testregion --region-abbr=TRG
--area-name=Testarea --series-name=Testseries
--drive-on=right --latin1
--read-config=/tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/template.args
--family-name=HBOX<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>copy the resulting /tmp/d20170604-30580-1rnxv7g/gmapsupp.img
as reunion.img in the Garmin folder of the etrex 30</li>
</ol>
<br>
This worked for years, and since I am never issuing the commands
manually, but always with my script, I believe that the commands
have always been the same. <br>
<br>
But now, the etrex (same firmware since last trip, where it worked)
does not recognize the map at all and does not offer it for
selection. <br>
<br>
<br>
Can anyone hint me what I am doing wrong?<br>
<br>
<br>
regards<br>
