prevoius research
Around 2003-2005 the mapsend format yahoo group did a lot of analyses on Magellan (fka Thales) Mapsend tool and it's used map files.
Their approach on generating custom maps is:
- generate Shapefiles of desired area OR
- use Mobile Mapper Office 2.7 to save a .IMG map file
- use magsendtool to extract shapefiles out of Magellan maps
- use Mobile Mapper Office 2.7 with patched .INI configuration files to build
- MMOconverter makes maps compatible with Magellan GPSr again
