NAME

       mkgmap - Generate Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap data

SYNOPSIS

       mkgmap [options] files.osm ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the mkgmap command.

       mkgmap  is  a  program that converts OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into a map that can be loaded onto a Garmin
       GPS device.  The mapping between OSM features and the features in the map can be completely customized by
       writing what we term a "style".

OPTIONS

       --help <filename>
              Use  this  option  to get alist of the built in help topics.  In particular calling --help=options
              will list all the available options and is always up to date.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       This project is almost entirely based on the file format specification document written by John  Mechalas
       at the SourceForge project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/garmin-img.
