<br>
I'm interested in building custom mtb-oriented maps using mkgmap (so<br>
that I can create a small map of my area with additional "TO EXPLORE"<br>
ways, based on past GPS traces.<br>
<br>
I've looked at <a href="http://openmtbmap.org" target="_blank">openmtbmap.org</a>, but I am unable to follow the process<br>
described on <a href="http://openmtbmap.org/tutorials/render-maps-mkgmap/" target="_blank">http://openmtbmap.org/tutorials/render-maps-mkgmap/</a>:<br>
<br>
- the style file is not provided anymore (I'm surprised it was not<br>
merged into mkgmap?), and provides some additional info (e.g. relying<br>
on the mtb:scale tag)<br>
<br>
- some customizations seem to have been made to mkgmap. For example, in<br>
openmtbmap maps, the name of ways reflects the type of ways (grade1<br>
track => named "G1 TRK"). That is quite nice, but I could not find how<br>
to do that in mkgmap.<br>
<br>
I've tried contacting Felix Hartmann (openmtbmap's author), but you need<br>
to donate to get support, and he did not answer my private mail.<br>
Overall, I find it a bit worrying that people rely on <a href="http://openmtbmap.org" target="_blank">openmtbmap.org</a>'s<br>
maps if Felix Hartmann is the only one able to generate those maps due<br>
to the use of private patches. What if he suddenly decided to charge an<br>
insane amount for all maps downloads?<br>
<br>
Has anyone else tried to create mtb maps using mkgmap?<br>
