And because the gmapsupp.img file can contain multiple sub-tiles, you can’t add it to the MapSource program using MapSet Toolkit trying to do so will only make a single sub-tile visible. ![]() The problem with Garmin map data in this format is that you are limited to having only the data embedded within that single file loaded into your GPS you can’t combine it directly with other Garmin mapsets. The Garmin data comes as a gmapsupp.img file, which you can copy directly to the SD/microSD card of a compatible Garmin unit see this post for more info. CloudMade is developing APIs to deliver the OSM map data in web and mobile format, but these are currently in alpha and limited to developers. The latter two are a bit lacking in data now, to put it mildly, but presumably will grow in size with time. Broken down by country/state, you can download: CloudMade now has this data freely available for download as well, but not just in shapefile format, and not just Europe, but every continent (including Antarctica). A while back, I posted on GeoFabrik’s repository of Open Street Map (OSM) data in shapefile format, covering mainly Europe and parts of Asia. ![]()
