Title: .mp file has route, but .img file doesn't
Post by: fienny on June 08, 2017, 10:38:20 PM
I created an .mp file which has shown routes on GPSMapedit, then I convert it into .img file using the same program, however, when I run it inside the Mapsource, I cant do routing. Is there any specific format for .typ file so that the .img file coupled with it is able to route?

.typ files have nothing to do with routing, they only affect the appearance of the map.

GPSMapEdit is an editor only, it doesn't compile maps. It is able to invoke cGPSmapper for compilation but if you are using cGPSmapper Free, then it doesn't support routing. Maybe try mkgmap.
