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.
