[mkgmap-dev] Howto: Installing mkgmap generated maps in Mapsource

Sat Feb 21 11:34:44 GMT 2009

I'm not sure if this is the easiest way, but this works for me:

1. Create the map, tdb and overview:
$ java -jar dist/mkgmap.jar --tdbfile --route map.osm
This creates 63240000.tdb, 63240000.img (overview) and 63240001.img (map).

2. Install the map using MapsetToolkit (s. 
http://cypherman1.googlepages.com/)
See the attached screenshot for the parameters to use, but they should 
be straight forward.

If there are no objections, I volunteer to put this information on the 
wiki page.

The only problem which still remains for me is that mapsources does not 
recognise the map as routable.Has anyone a solution for this or does 
anyone know what the problem is?

Best wishes
Christian
