[OSM-talk] generating maps from shapefiles?

[Karl Newman]

www.cgpsmapper.com The program has support for shapefiles, but I'm not sure
if the free version does. Otherwise, you could use GPSMapEdit (
www.geopainting.com) and import your shapefiles, then save it as MP format
and then use cGPSMapper to compile it to an IMG format. (There are some
links set up in GPSMapEdit to send it to cGPSMapper directly, to eliminate a
step).
