Super Easy Transformation of OSM Mapfiles to Garmin GPI

Prerequisites

you will have to install the follwing external tools:

"Installing"

make filter-nodes executable
move/copy it to a directory of your choice that is on your PATH or add your desired directory to your PATH
now you can run it from anywhere using filter-nodes
NOTE: the directory you're running the script from is going to be your working_directory

Steps to use:

1. Download desired area as `*.pbf` mapfile from https://extract.bbbike.org/

2. Customize `POIs.yaml`:

The file has to be in your working_path
Define POI categories
Define a radius (in meter) around each POI in which other POIs of the same category are deleted. Set this to a really really large number to keep all POIs
Define keys and valuess of Map Features that you want extract from the map

3. Download POI-Icons as `*.bmp` (for example from this website)

The icons have to be named the same as the categories and be placed into {working_path}/Icons

4. Run the script with `filter-nodes` in your `working_path`

You don't need to specify the *.pbf file if there is only one in the directory. The script will automatically choose the first *.pbf file in the directory, if there are more than one present and no -pbf argument was given.

Done!
