[OSM-newbies] OSM -> Garmin

[Paul]

Mkgmap can go direct from .osm to .img

Presumably the .osm file you have is too large for a single tile so you will
also need the splitter tool they provide

It's then a case of the following pseudo-code

java -jar splitter.jar australia.osm
java -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 *.osm.gz

If you get errors with heap space when running mkgmap try the following

java -Xmx1024M -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 *.osm.gz

The value of -Xmx can go to 2048M on 32 bit or higher on 64

If you want extra options (including experimental routable maps) then a
suitable command line might also be 

java -Xmx2048M -jar --latin1 --gmapsupp --route --net --code-page=1252
--country-name="Australia" -- country-abbr=AUS --tdbfile --tdb-v4 *.osm.gz

Be careful with wrapping on the above

It may also be quicker to gunzip the files manually before running them
through mkgmap
