Hallo Tobias,

ich bin gerade dabei das ganze einigermaßen zu automatisieren. Im Frühjahr kommt die D-A-CH Topo OSM und eine BeNeLux Topo OSM

Falls Du die Holländische Küste bis dahin fertig hättest...?

Habe gestern mein Triton 2000 bekommen. Und wollte mal die Tools für die Kartenerstellung zusammensuchen.
Ich habe den MMO 2.7 problemlos gefunden. Allerdings konnte ich die Version 1.0 nicht finden. Hat die noch jemand?

Versuchs mal hier

[wildklux]

Excuse me for writing english, but my german is no good.
I have been following the "garmin to magellan" conversion guide on msh-tools.com and this page.
I have made some moderately good maps using mmo1.0 and mmo2.7. Now im left with the points. I have tried to create poi´s using both POI_DB_creator.exe and MMOfficePOI.exe. With each method I encounter a problem:

POI_DB_creator.exe method:
the mymap_p.txt (csv) created using shp2csv does not contain any info on what kind of point each line is. Am I required to categorize the file manually? This could take some time on a large map..

MMOfficePOI.exe method:
Here i load the *dbf created using gmapedit and ptxt2shp. When loaded this file does not seem to contain the lat/long coorinates. the only options in the source field is LABEL,TYPE and LEVEL.

I would be very grateful for any answers on this problem.

I'll try to answer in english.

Mikahils POI creator has errors and I never got it to work with larger files.

MMO1.0 is the right approach. The issue is your *.DBF file. It does not contain the coordinates, because you use the *.dbf file of a shape file set.

You will need to create an explicit *.DBF file for the POI import with at least following fields:

LAT, LON, POI_Name, POI_Category, POI_Subcateory

you can use more fields, eg. POI_Adress, POI_Tel etc.

Thanks for quick answer!

Im clueless on how to approach from here. Do you know how to create a *.dbf from the original garmin map, which contains the information you mention?

[Sockeye]

This was a little issue. I wrote therfore a little program to extract the POI from a *mp file and create the *dbf.

If you have Microsft Windows and .NET you can also use it. (without .NET it will download and install it)

Once again thank you!

This sounds like a perfect solution. There is only one catch, I cant install the program. Im running windows from parallels on a mac, so maybe thats the problem. The last lines of the install.log file says:

'.NET Framework 2.0' RunCheck result: No Install Needed
Launching Application.
Running command 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\GremlinJack.application' with arguments ''
ShellExecuteEx failed with error code 2
Error: The following error occurred attempting to install 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\GremlinJack.application':
"The system cannot find the file specified. "

Any idea on whats wrong?

[Sockeye]

no Idea. But the tool doesn't really need a install.

try running the application directly. Here are the needed files:http://www.maps4me.net/freemaps/GremJack.rar

Sockeye,

I tried to send this as a pm to you, but it doesn`t work (disabled?).
GJ works fine now btw. Thank you so much for you patience with me, but I still have some questions left..

Some of the objects in mapedit is unknown. Is this normal? I have identified the polygons and polylines through experimenting (time-consuming).
And I know that some of the unknown points is: names on places, houses, factorys, shanty, group of trees and cabins. Until now I have added these points groups to
******;Name(allgemein);Locale in the gremlin.cfg just to make it run. How could I add these groups properly? Im a little confused on what kind of icons/groups that is available on the GPSR.

I understand that export.cfg is the file that decides how things will appear on the GPSR. For each layer I can choose the visibility range, like you describe on this forum. But I can only change the visibility range for all the POI´s together, and not one by one. Is this correct?

Die Fehlermeldung stammt daher, dass MMO Probleme mit der Export.cfg oder der map.ini hat. Bei MMO2.7 führt das dazu, dass die "fehlerhafte" Karte entfernt wird.

Entweder hast du mit Copy & Paste die Export.cfg zu stark geändert, dass die Layernumerirung, Bezeichnung oder Rheihenfolge durcheinander gekommen ist, oder die Layerbezeichnungen sind zu lang. Ich habe mich noch nie getraut so lange Bezeichnungen zu verwenden.

Hallo Sockeye,

zu lange Layernamen sind ein guter Hinweis.

Ich hatte mein Kroatien Projekt nochmal geladen. Dort sind die eigenen Layer mit kürzeren Namen und es lässt sich in 2.7 einwandfrei kompilieren.
Ich hatte den Namen nicht so grosse Bedeutung zugemessen, da ja anschliessend alles über die Nummer des Layers geht.

Ich versuche es nochmal mit kürzeren, danke!

Viele Grüsse,

Titus
