You can convert Open Street Map format to Polish format or Garmin format to use with VGPS. Steps to clip and convert OSM to Polish format: 1. If you don’t have JDK 5.0 in your PC, you can get it from the Sun Java site. Download “JDK 5.0 Update 12” from here Download JDK 5.0 Update 12 install JDK 5.0 to c:\program files\java\jdk1.5.0_12 folder in your PC 2. Create a folder osm in your PC c:\osm 3. Download planet.osm from here Download planet.osm unzip it to c:\osm folder (To unpack the file on Windows use 7-zip uncompression tool. On Linux use bzip2) 4. Download osm2vgps.rar from here Download osm2vgps.rar unzip it to c:\osm folder 5. Open file bounds.txt in c:\osm folder, change minLat, minLon, maxLat, maxLon to your city’s bounds. Save the bounds.txt file. 6. Open file osm2vgps.bat in c:\osm folder, change the parameter planet-070725.osm to your new planet.osm file download from step 3. Save the osm2vgps.bat file 7. Open command prompt window and change directory to c:\osm folder 8.

You can convert Open Street Map format to Polish format or Garmin format to use with VGPS. You can follow Stevez’s guide to convert OSM to garmin format, replace australian’s lat/lon with your city’s lat/lon: To create these garmin img files, I first download an extract of the OSM data that includes the Australian landmass. This is done using the OSM XAPI using the command :- wget –timeout=0 “http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[bbox=110,-44,156,-9]” -O australia.osm Once I have the Australian data, I then use a perl script to extract the different states. planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox -37,140.971,-28,154.500 australia.osm > NSW.osm planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox -39.4,140.2,-33.7,151.5 australia.osm > VIC.osm planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox -29.3,137.5,-10,155.5 australia.osm > QLD.osm planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox -44.16,142.47,-39.16,149.706 australia.osm > TAS.osm planetosm-excerpt-area.pl -bbox -39.5,127.35,-25.62,141.965 australia.osm > SA.osm planetosm-excerpt-area.
