Unfortunately, their FAQ is not too informative. I was trying to get the India map. Though I could download the build source, I couldnt get any further - just opens in a large wordpad document. How does one proceed thereafter? Some of their maps do open as an image - how is that converted to a file compatible with/downloadable into garmin GPS units? :confused1: Cheers, Arnob |
The 'build' is in 'Polish Format' and is, as you have found, in plain text, like C code ... or HTML .. but it is easier to edit with an editor set up for the particular format .. I use Mapedit .. but there are others ..
The 'image' is in garmin format .img .. but you need to let mapsource know about it ... that needs a .tbl file, an .img file .. and you need to adjust the registary entires They normally list 4 entries on that site .. an 'Image' - the garmin format, a build - Polish format - a well defined public sourced format. http://cgpsmapper.com/ for the conversion from .mp to img program See the links for front ends that will do many good thing to help make maps.. There is a lot out there on making maps .. http://www.malsingmaps.com/wiki/inde...:Map_Authoring The India map - is all one level - meaning unless you are zoomed in all the way - it gets very cluttered ... I'm working on it to get a few levels in there ... but it is a big place and it will take some time to do. |
