Hi All
As promised/threaten? a new version of Ent_World has been released. Actually two. The version called Ent_World_r3118.img is been generated with the latest version of mkgmap. The latest version of mkgmap promises smaller file size and improved routing so should be the one to use. But for "safety" sake I have generated the standard named version with the older mkgmap generator. Now, be aware that only one version should be loaded on your GPS, as otherwise they will conflict in strange ways. If you are going to use the new version then rename it and remove the _r3118 part and copy it straight over the older version,if you have already installed that.
Now for some feedback. Actually any would be appreciated.
Within the user group we have found the point of interest (POI) search is rather broken on the Rino 650 but works (if slowly) on the 62s. Good news, is it work apparently well on the Oregon 450. Also the routing, used to calculate distance to go, on the Rino 650 can be highly imaginative on what it comes up with as you walk along, but better on the 62s. Again, it apparently works well on the Oregon 450.
Anyway, have fun. And for the, living proof of Darwinian theory types out there, it is a home rolled mapping system that relies on numerous contributors, of varying ability and accuracy, combined a reverse engineered OSM to Garmin map generator, so it has no claim to accuracy and working ability. It should not be your primary navigation tool, and is at best a useful, but possible misleading guide.
Cheers
