It would be great if you could simply set (Garmin ) USB - Mass Storage. Most people are on newer units anyhow by now.
Then there would be "no more" work to do, than implementing the file system structure. Another great addition could be to integrate mkgmap.jar in order to create gmapsupp.img with a graphical tile selection. Handling mkgmap.jar would be quite easy (only parameters to set would be short-mapname, long-mapname, and a tickbox on index creation, plus maybe copy forward the typ-file selector window (however current typ-file to be use would be fine too, and a box to enter the amount of avaible Ram if index creation is activated for Java). Right now besides Mapsource and Basecamp I know of no program, which is able to select tiles. (but it won't be more than 1-2 years, until an osm mkgmap created map of Germany or France, will break the 4GB barrier I expect). (mkgmap call would be: java -jar -Xmx%RAM%M mkgmap.jar--family-id=%read_from_map_by_qlgt% %index yes/no% %--show-profiles=1 yes/no ---if contourlines available% --description="%short-name%" --series-name="%long-name%" --family-name="%long-name%" --gmapsupp %"selected .img tiles"% %.typ-file% ) However more basic and important than sending maps, would be integrating the usb file structure of newer garmin GPS.
