There's some documentation on the NOD file in http://svn.parabola.me.uk/display/trunk/doc/nod.txt . That covers the routing graph. I don't think the NET file is currently documented, though i may be missing something. Apart from that, it's in the code for the moment. There's also libgarmin.sourceforge.net (IMG reader for navit) and its wiki.

For simple from-via- to restrictions, this is a matter of writing the code, since that part is understood.

First off I'd like to thank everyone who has been working on this, it's a great addition for anyone using OSM on a Garmin device. I had a go at producing a routable map for my local area but whenever I transfer it to my eTrex Vista HCX it always routes on the in-built basemap no matter what I try. I built the maps with the following commands[0]: * wget -O meonvalley-20081207.osm http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/map?bbox=-1.2514,50.8892,-1.0928,50.9916; * perl osm2mp.pl meonvalley-20081207.osm meonvalley-20081207.mp * java -Xmx512M -jar mkgmap-route-779/mkgmap.jar --route meonvalley-20081207.mp The image is then transferred to the Garmin via USB mass storage. If anyone who has successfully built a routable map can shed any light on what I'm doing wrong I would be most grateful. Cheers, Andy [0] I've uploaded copies of the files created in the process to http://www.andystreet.me.uk/garmin/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It seems you're doing everything right. The gmapsupp.img you generated looks fine to me. Some routing data was generated, at least. Probably the data we're writing is just wrong in your case. One thing you could try is to run mkgmap with assertions and logging: java -enableassertions -Dlog.config=resources/logging.properties -jar mkgmap.jar is what I use, but it's possible you need to be in the dist directory for java to find the logging.properties file.

Interesting, I added the debug options above and it generated a working image. When I get some spare time I'll do some further testing and see if I can nail down exactly what is going on.
