Re: [mkgmap-dev] NSIS option for Basecamp
Hi Diego, > I create different tiles setting the Splitter to 1.600.000, then I add > clipped contours and DEM with Mkgmap. Does your map have layers, like tiles with mapping data and tiles with contours only? If yes, then maybe MapInstall can't select tiles correctly. -- Best regards, Andrzej ___ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
Re: [mkgmap-dev] NSIS option for Basecamp
Hi Diego, Further to Eric’s comments regarding a NSIS installer: On a windows machine if you use the gmapi option a folder with a .gmap extension is created with all the information regarding the map and tiles. This type of map does not use the registry, to get this map to show in Basecamp you need to copy or move the complete folder to "C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps". C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder so you will have to select ‘Show hidden items’ under ‘View’ in Explorer. Or you could use JaVaWa GMTK from this site https://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html to install a .gmapi file by browsing to the created . gmap folder. The program is no longer supported but still works fine, it will also flag up errors in your maps, such as duplicated Family Ids, and repair some of them.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] NSIS option for Basecamp
Hi Diego, First question: did you create different tiles? I don’t know how, but it’s possible to create a “one image map” (to be installed on device). To verify: select and view - installation - folder and count the number of tiles (*.img files). Maps are not installed by BaseCamp but by MapInstall. Latest version: 4.2.4. Changes made from version 4.2.0 to 4.2.1: "Fixed installing 3rd party maps". Procedure: - BaseCamp: Devices, select device, “Install Maps on ...”. - MapInstall: Select Map(s). - Advanced/Partial Install (bottom left side). - Zoom (-) to see all tiles. - Select tile(s): left mouse click. - Deselect tile(s): right mouse click. - Bottom listbox: “(192 Selected HIKE_Benelux)” or select different map (and select tiles). - Install: only selected Maps will show in list of “Installed Maps” (not number of tiles “Selected”, not “partial” or “complete”) Eric -Original Message- From: mkgmap-dev On Behalf Of Gerd Petermann Sent: woensdag 1 februari 2023 06:46 To: Development list for mkgmap Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] NSIS option for Basecamp Hi Diego, not sure how you transfer small parts of the map to the device.
