Mkgmap

Mkgmap is a program for PC that can help you transform OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into maps compatible with Garmin devices. Convert .osm files into .img format to load custom maps directly into your GPS, at no cost. This way you can ensure you always have access to updated maps designed according to your specific needs.

Generate Garmin maps from stored data

One of Mkgmap's strengths relates to its ability to generate maps directly from saved files, JOSM, or extracts from the main OSM database. What's more, this Windows tool allows you to process multiple .osm files with a single run. This will come in very handy when you have to manage large volumes of data to create detailed maps of different areas.

Compatibility with other tools

Another useful feature of Mkgmap is its compatibility with programs like MapSource. As a result, Mkgmap can generate maps that can also be viewed in other tools. At the same time, the tool allows you to create a gmapsupp.img file that you can then copy directly to an SD card to use on your Garmin device.

Customize maps as needed

Thanks to Mkgmap, you can adjust the OSM mapping to map elements specific to Garmin. You can even control the levels of zoom and specify a character set for supported devices.

If you are a Garmin user, download Mkgmap for Windows to take advantage of this complete program that offers you all the tools you need to make the most of OpenStreetMap data.
