I compared the output from gmapi-builder with that produced by Garmin's MapConverter program: they appear to be identical.

Perhaps you could do the following to help isolate the problem:

- Run Garmin's MapConverter on the map which you created on your Windows machine.

- Install the resulting gmapi map on your Mac OS machine.

- Does the problem still occur?

If so, it may be a general problem with converting maps to gmapi format, or (perhaps more likely) it could be a problem in Garmin's Mac OS programs (MapInstall, Basecamp, etc.).

- Which versions of MapInstall and Basecamp do you have on your Mac?

Cheers.
