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.
