Europe Wanderkarte (walking-trail map) topo map for hiking

@Ballebar

Yes, MS flag is 0 in IMG-file - this was the first I checked.
When starting BaseCamp the progression bar for Wanderkarte is red and it stays red till the message comes, that it is not a valid Garmin chart. BaseCamp works some seconds (~ half minute) for this.
I have many other charts on virtual floppy drive working with BaseCamp very well.
I will try it with other 'Wander- & Reitkarten' - maybe it works with 'Inselkarte' and report results here.

Other question according to the Mapsoruce Flag (Ms=1 or Ms=0).
When You use this method to see a map from the openstreetmap-community (velomap, openmtbmap, openfietsmap etc.) and You change the Ms(=0) you can see the map in Basecamp which is on gps or sd-card (connected to PC). So Far So good.
But in Basecamp is also a Global Application Basemap (v2 for the latest Basecamp 3.2.2.). It looks like the gmapsupp.img is transparant because You see the Basemap together with Your gmapsupp.img. (example: You see the highways double). Gmapsupp.img from Garmin (created with MPC ?) don't have this.
You can change the transparency of the osm-gmapsupp.img, but that has no effect. Osm-maps are normally made whith Mkgmap. Maybe that's the problem but maybe also the solution.
Somebody recognize this "problem" and have the solution/answer the solve this or can give a parameter which is maybe wrong in a gmapsupp.img (and can be changed by Gmaptool).

@Edit : latest version of Mkgmap (30/11/2011) should solved this problem. Just wait now for the new maps with this version.

To make the Mac version work, you need to use Gmapi Builder.app to convert the img folder. It works great, once the massive download is finished.
