Thanks for the help I have also discovered that MKgmap can convert mp files to a limited extent

I use seperate maps on my GPS so no problem there. I think the problem is that I am using MSTK therefore cgsmapper to combine the mkgmap with cgsmapper maps and make the TDB files etc so how do I produce a map from a shp file for use with mkgmap as the compiler and also how do you produce a tdb file and overview map from a collection of img files with mkgmap? if this is not possible what steps are needed to get OSM PBF files into cgpsmapper? I have researched on the internet but have not found the answers to these issues yet.
If MKGMAP and CGPSMAPPER img files are different how does the Garmin software and GPS'S cope with the different types I would have thought that an img file was set to a standard.

I have used OSM data for GB and used splitter and mkgap to make the img files and then MSTK to install in basecamp which works however when I try to add an img of Forestry Commission forest blocks made from an open data shp file with gpsmapper and installed with MSTK the forest blocks do not show on the map. the img can be installed on its own and work and I have tried assigning different types to the polygons and a different draw order in the type file but cannot get the forest blocks to show in basecamp. can anyone help please.

Has anyone been able to load the free GB250000 KMZ from the garmin website into basecamp I have not found any other application that will load it either, if you inspect the doc.kml file it refers to  jpg images which are not in the archive eg images beginning with L1,L2,L3 only L7 images are present I have contacted Garmin support but they are being rather stubborn and refuse to look at it until they are given an error message to look at for some reason.
