<p>Hi Brendan</p>
<p>More just a remark.<br>
</p>
<p>I was also interested in rolling my own mkgmap at
one stage, but I also use the DEM/topo (SRTM)
information and refreshing the OSM data is kind of
expensive over a mobile network!</p>
<p>My biggest pet peeve was that the Garmin device
doesn't show road surface (like as a dashed line),
but will happily exclude unsealed from routing
decisions. I have been using it to make
route/OSM/imagery update decisions as I wander
around.</p>

<p>OSMand can be set to show surface. It can also
display access. I have it set up that way for my
walking.</p>

<div dir="auto">Thanks for the suggestion, but OSMand is for
Android. For Garmin it has to be added to the styling rules
during file processing.</div>

<p>There is a version of OSMand for iphones... may not be as good as
the android version.</p>
<p>However it does demonstrate the capability of rendering road
surfaces, and access. It does nothing for smoothness nor incline.

<div>We used to have <a

and in my opinion that was the best OSM Garmin
map data for AU. Frequently updated, good clear
carto on Basecamp, and clear map on GPS unit
with decent file size. Sadly that site broke in
June last year and looks unlikely to return.<br>

You can still get a map from them .. but it has to be
the entire country.</div>

<div dir="auto">That was the case intermittently last year, with
the last AU country file rendered June 2020. If you check the
site today it just shows an Apache server message only.</div>

<p>Looks to be up now. And, yes, the date is mid last year. <br>
