I'm happy to report that I've updated my splitter and mkgmap, and have created my gmapsupp.img from australia-oceania.osm.pbf without using osmosis at all. I note however that mkgmap spat out this one warning: SEVERE (LineSplitterFilter): 63240017.osm.gz: Way (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/143243495) has a max dimension of 32767 and is about to be split (routing will be broken) I haven't got to the bottom of what's going on there.

FWIW recent splitter and mkgmap versions should work OK with pbf files, I think. (although I still convert to .osm myself, using osmconvert: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmconvert ) Cheers, Andy ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] I feel like such a newbie
Hi Brett, You've made remarkable progress in a very short time! I'm a Linux user rather than Windows, so I can be of limited help there. I can add to Steve's reply. Firstly, you need to convert that pbf file to an osm one. You use the osmosis program to do that. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis Here's the Linux script I run to turn the pbf file I download into the Garmin gmapsupp.img file. It's a routable "road" map for my Garmin nuvi car GPS unit. I also create a cycling-orientated map for my Garmin 60CSx. #!/bin/sh cd $HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/work /usr/user/osmosis-0.39/bin/osmosis --read-bin $HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/australia-oceania.osm.pbf --write-xml australia.osm /usr/bin/java -Xmx1400M -jar /usr/user/splitter-r181/splitter.jar --cache=/tmp --output=xml australia.osm rm australia.osm /usr/bin/java -ea -Xmx1400M -jar /usr/user/mkgmap-r1995/mkgmap.jar --remove-short-arcs --style-file=$HOME/OSM/mkgmap/style/roadrte --route --gmapsupp -c template.args mv gmapsupp.img $HOME/OSM/mkgmap/road rm *.* cd I hope it hasn't wrapped, and still makes "Unix-sense". I've inserted blank lines for readability just in case. Note that I need to use the splitter because my australia.osm file is so large. The splitter creates a series of manageable (smaller) osm files.

Where Java.exe will be will depend on your version of windows, and which version of Java you installed. You'll probably find it somewhere like here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_32\bin or here: C:\Windows\SysWOW64 Although (as somebody else mentioned) you can download pre-built Garmin maps of various types, if you want to combine various bits of data you'll need to roll your own at some point, and you might as well start now. There's a bit of useful info on the OSM help site: help.openstreetmap.org/search/?q=mkgmap&Submit=search&t=question If you get stuck, you can also ask a new question there.

Hi Brett, Could you give us a bit of context what you're trying to achieve? Are you playing around with generating maps for the fun of it - if not, there might be easier ways to get the maps you want using existing online services (like hikebikemap) or whatever. You could also ask on the general mailing lists (t...@openstreetmap.org) if it's not specific to Australia. > > java -jar mkgmap.jar --route --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --index > --gmapsupp *.osm.pbf > > Now this is were my newbie status shows in spades.

If Java is installed but isn't in the path, do this: 1) Press windows key+Break 2) Advanced tab 3) Environment variables 4) Modify "path" variable to point to the bin directory of your Java installation. > The idea is to create a MEM (Middle Earth Map for an Ent) just for Tassie at > this stage with the zoom levels optimised for bushwalking.

There really are lots of other forms of Garmin maps that you can download from other places.

Hi Ok thanks to John I am starting the first baby step to using mkgmap so I have installed Java. It think it works as I am using JOSM and that worked.
