mkgmap style for OSM hiking maps

Style rules and TYP definitions for making a hiking map from OpenStreetMap data for a Garmin GPS using mkgmap. The cartography is adopted from hiking maps by Asker Skiklubb and a symbol standard from the Norwegian Mapping Authority.

Build the TYP file from hiking_typdef.txt with cGPSmapper. Then build the map file using mkgmap:

sty=$mkgmap_style_folder/hiking
mkgmap="java -Xmx1536M -jar $java_home/mkgmap.jar"
$mkgmap -c $sty/arguments --style-file=$sty $osm_data_folder/*.osm{,.gz}
$mkgmap -c $sty/arguments --gmapsupp $sty/ID984.TYP [0-9]*.img

For large areas you'll need to use a splitter.

An example map file covering Oslomarka is available at http://www.vidargundersen.com/hikingtrails.img To install, simply copy it to the Garmin folder on the GPS memory card. Rename to gmapsupp.img on 60CSx.
