OpenStreetMap
highlighting and Marking Unnamed streets on Garmin ??
Posted by Anna_AG on 6 November 2009 in English.Okay - so I have been a bit busy trying to map kaduna. The ariel imagery was great and little has needed to be added, though I am collecting all my GPX traces for upload on my return to the UK.
What I have been adding is tags, local details, banks, hotels and street names etc.
When I downloaded the Nigeria map for Garmins ( IMG format ) from Cloudmade all the unnamed streets were highlighted in red which was really useful.
This download understandably is only updated weekly and I am currently completing nightly builds of Kaduna OSM, saving that ( from JOSM ) and using MKGMAP to convert to an IMG.
My question is, does anybody have a tool that will allow me to mimic Cloudmade's OSM to IMG tool and highlight streets in Red making my life a bit easier?
cheers bri

Have a look into http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/export/garmincyclemap/preprocess that might help

I use GroundTruth with a simple rules file to build a transparent overlay of unnamed roads (unclassified & residential only). The rules look something like this:
|-
| ResidentialRoadHighZoomNN
| {{tag|highway|residential}} and not {{tag|name}}
| 22
|
|
| "NO NAME"
| {{GroundTruthLineColor|#ff0011}}
| 3
|
|-
I use MapSource to upload my maps.

The osm.wiki/All_in_one_Garmin_Map has this, too.
Ok, unnamed streets are blue not red :-)
