Hello,

I have also been writing a program to convert OSM data to a Garmin map. It
works in one step, taking a .osm file and producing a .img file directly.

It has only been working as of two days ago, so there are a number of
limitations where things are not finished, but it meets my purpose of
knowing where mapping is needed just fine already.

It is released under the GPL and does not claim additional licensing
restrictions on the maps produced, so might in the future be suitable for
creating a web service from; indeed I'd had thought of doing just that.

I'd not wanted to release it yet, but if anyone wants to take a peek,
then it can be found at http://www.parabola.me.uk/mkgmap/
