Mkgmap is a command line utility that converts OpenStreetMap data into vector maps that can be loaded onto a Garmin GPS device. It does the conversion in one step without depending on any other program. Mkgmap only supports the OSM map data format.
Mkgmap main features
- Creates maps for Garmin GPS devices using OSM data
- Full control which OSM data is integrated into the map (style system)
- Full control how POIs, streets and all other elements are displayed (TYP file compiler)
- Full address search support
- Routing support
- Many options for fine control over the map creation process

Features
- Generates a map directly from a file saved from JOSM or from an extract of the main OSM planet file.
- Converts several .osm files in one run of the program to create a map tile set.
- Creates a .tdb file and an overview map that can be used to view the maps in MapSource or QLandkarte.
- Creates a gmapsupp.img file that can be copied directly to an SD card.
- Can also combine previously produced .img files into one gmapsupp.img file.
- Create a .tdb and overview map from previously produced .img files.
- The mapping between OSM features features in the Garmin map can be customised.
- Transliteration of characters to ascii where that is possible to enable viewing on low end devices or for international maps.
- Character set can be specified for display on capable GPS devices.
- Control over the zoom levels that any feature appears at.
