DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mkgmap command.

mkgmap is a program that converts OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into a map that can be loaded onto a Garmin GPS device. The mapping between OSM features and the features in the map can be completely customized by writing what we term a "style".
