+OpenStreetMap data can be downloaded to a Garmin GPS:
+ * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin
+
+Some areas already have this done for you:
+ * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
+
+Download the data for the area that you're interested in.
+
+Easiest way for small areas is using JOSM & save it as filename.osm
+
+For larger files use http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmxapi
+
+Calculate the bounding box (Decimal degrees, S & W are negative. Use GoogleEarth's 'Grid' View to help)
+{{{
+wget -O filename.osm http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[*=*][bbox=min_long,min_lat,max_long,max_lat]
+}}}
+e.g. for Tanzania:
+{{{
+wget -O tanzania.osm http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[*=*][bbox=29,-12,41,-1]
+e.g. for Liberia:
+{{{
+wget -O liberia.osm http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[*=*][bbox=-11.5,4.3,-7.35,8.6]
+
+or get a planet.osm file from:
+ * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm
+
+This may need to be cleaned-up using UTF8sanitizer (needs to have Cygwin1.dll present):
+ * http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/planet.osm/C/UTF8sanitizer.exe
+{{{
+UTF8sanitizer.exe <filename.osm >fixed.osm 2>errors.txt
+}}}
+
+Use mkgmap to convert this to be usable on the Garmin:
+{{{
+java -jar -Xmx512M mkgmap.jar fixed.osm
+}}}
+
+This will produce a file called 63240001.img.
+This can be copied to the CF card as Garmin/gmapsupp.img
+(Put the Garmin into 'Mass Storage' mode to get it to act as a CF card reader)
+
+For more help see: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mkgmap/help
+
+If you get :
+{{{
+Error at line 216, col 6
+Bad file format: c:\Temp\cut\63242591
+}}}
+then open the file & remove the repeated header from the file!
+
+If you just get:
+{{{
+Bad file format: c:\Temp\cut\63242591
+}}}
+then open the file & convert to UTF-8 (Format menu in notepad++, if too large & it crashes, then use Cygwin/Linux:
+{{{
+iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 filename > output)
+}}}
+
+If downloading the whole of the UK (from http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/downloads/planet/) then this is too large to process in 1 go, so do this:
+{{{
+UTF8sanitizer.exe <uk-*.osm >fixed.osm 2>errors.txt
+md cut
+java -Xmx1024M -jar osmcut.jar 2 fixed.osm cut
+}}}
+cygwin:
+{{{
+for i in cut/*; do iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 "$i" > "${i}.utf8"; done
+}}}
+
+{{{
+java -jar -Xmx1024M mkgmap.jar cut/*.utf8
+java -jar -Xmx1024M mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp 6*.img
+}}}
+
+To update a gmapsupp.img, rename it as e.g. old.img, & build the new .img via:
+{{{
+java -jar -Xmx1024M mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp latest.osm old.img
+}}}
+
+The map can be made visible in MapSource using a .reg file like this one (copy the 6*.img & the 6*.tdb to c:\garmin\osm):
+ * OSM.reg (attached)
+NB MapSource 6141 - 6156 are broken - use 6137 for now
+ * see threads: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/15660, http://www.poi-factory.com/node/20054
+
+To split off a smaller area from a larger osm file, use Osmosis:
+ * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmosis
+{{{
+java -jar -Xmx512M osmosis.jar --rx horn_contours.osm enableDateParsing=false --sort --bounding-polygon file="sudan2pts.txt" --wx sudan_contours.osm
+}}}
+(2pts.txt files available from http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/)
+
+To add Contour lines to the .osm files before converting to .img:
+ * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Srtm2Osm
+e.g. for Liberia:
+{{{
+srtm2osm -large -cat 500 100 -bounds3 "http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.47&lon=-9.35&zoom=8&layers=B00FT" -o liberia_contours.osm
+}}}
+e.g. for Tanzania:
+{{{
+srtm2osm -large -cat 500 100 -bounds3 "http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=-6.89&lon=30.59&zoom=6&layers=B00FT" -o tanzania_contours.osm
+}}}
+e.g. for Darfur:
+{{{
+UTF8sanitizer.exe <sudan.osm >fixed.osm 2>errors.txt
+iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 fixed.osm > sudan.osm
+srtm2osm -large -cat 800 200 -bounds3 "http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=11.75&lon=27.37&zoom=7&layers=B000FTF" -o darfur_contours.osm
+}}}
+e.g. merge Kilimanjaro contours into Tanzania OSM:
+{{{
+srtm2osm -step 50 -cat 1000 250 -bounds3 "http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=-3.2&lon=37.2&zoom=9&layers=B00FTF" -merge tanzania.osm
+}}}
+e.g. merge Table Mountain contours into South Africa OSM:
+{{{
+srtm2osm -step 20 -cat 250 100 -bounds3 "http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.93&lon=18.917&zoom=10&layers=B000FTF" -merge south_africa.osm
+}}}
+
+Can also merge data afterwards using Osmosis:
+{{{
+java -Xmx512M -jar osmosis.jar --rx darfur_contours.osm enableDateParsing=false --sort --rx sudan.osm --merge --wx outfile.osm
+java -Xmx512M -jar osmcut.jar 3.5 outfile.osm cut
+for i in cut/*; do iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 "$i" > "${i}.utf8"; done
+java -jar -Xmx512M mkgmap.jar cut/*.utf8
+java -jar -Xmx512M mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp 6*.img
+}}}
+http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Topographic_maps_for_garmin_devices
+
+Alternative method for creating Contour maps which doesn't use OSM:
+ * http://home.cinci.rr.com/creek/garmin.htm
+
+If in the UK then can use .img files from Scottish Mountaineering Club:
+ * http://www.smc.org.uk/ContourMaps.htm
+To merge these with the OSM data, ensure both Maps are visible in MapSource, select all the segments (using the 'Map Tool') from each in turn, then 'Send to Device'.
+
+The gmapsupp.img from the SD card can then be copied-back to use elsewhere.
+or
+{{{
+java -jar -Xmx1024M mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp osm\6*.img contours\*.img
+}}}
