[Talk-us] Another shot at a whole-US Garmin map

[Dave Hansen]

I decided to try another approach.  I used the tile picker from here:

	http://ulrichkuester.de/OSM/CoordinateToOSMTile.html

and got the tiles from here:

	http://osm.ammit.de/osm/latest/img/

with a little wget and a bash script.  I then used the mkgmap commands
what Lambertus talks about here:

	http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=2625&p=10

java -Xmx2048M -jar mkgmap.jar 
    --series-name='OSM World Routable' 
    --latin1 
    --code-page-1252 
    --description='OSM World Routable' 
    --product-id=53 
    --tdbfile 
    --gmapsupp *.img

The result is here:

It looks quite a bit better than the previous one that I posted.  I
think those tiles have a bit more detail and don't have the error
annotations that the Cloudmade ones do.  It still doesn't want to do
real routing on my Nuvi, but at least the map looks OK.
