[OSM-newbies] Garmin IMG files / mkgmap (was "Conversational gambit: New to OSM?")

[Chris Hunter]

I have an ESRI shapefile of hiking trails that I've run through Shp2OSM.
I've contacted Cloudmade and they have a rep that's helping me get it
licensed, to import into the main map, but in the meantime I'm trying to
compile it into an IMG (and eventually whatever other GPSr formats are
available) as an example on how to use different OSM tools.

Here's a copy of the Shp2OSM rules files I've built, but when I run the
output trough the default mkgmap rules, it isn't parsing the trails.  I also
tried groundtruth, but it's output crashes MapSource.
