I am trying to make a map which shows ONLY LA state wildlife management area boundaries for use in conjunction with an existing La State Topo. My efforts are thwarted at the second-to-last step: Making the preview file in Mapset toolkit (v 1.77 Beta). I get a "convert failed" message.
I have the shape file to start the process, and I followed the process for converting the area data into line data, using How To Create Garmin Topo Maps - Part 7 - Borders . I think I am getting through this part of the process OK, but it should be noted that instead of converting a single area to a line (a single state border in the tutorial), I am working with multiple areas as one file. In any case, I am able to save the converted .shp.
I then move on to How To Create Garmin Topo Maps - Part 8 - Combining Data, where I successfully build an .mp file. One thing I am doing when I create the MP is I am selecting "all loaded data", instead of limiting to some Lat/long for the Export Bounds. I am also NOT using any gridding; just one data file. I am using the template and all of the suggested scripts.
Next, I create the image file using How To Create Garmin Topo Maps - Part 9 - Compiling Data Of course, there's not much to compile, as i am only using a single data source for the .img. This step seems to work fine. Then I open Mapset toolkit (v 1.77 Beta), and the interface looks quite different than the one on the tutorial. (I don't see any place to download anything BUT the Beta at the Mapset Toolkit site). And I do hit "START", not "compile". That is when I get the convert failed error message.
Obviously, there is more detail. If someone want's to PM me with an email address, I could send some screen-shots of various settings.
Any thoughts
Much appreciation,
Steven
