Myanmar on Garmin

Download mkgmap and use the following commands on linux. If you use Microsoft Windows you will also have to download wget.

     wget -O mm.osm http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/*[bbox=93.9,15.5,98.0,19.0]
     java -jar mkgmap.jar mm.osm

Then use sendmap to load the resulting .img file into a Garmin GPS device (Sendmap is available from http://cgpsmapper.com/) The informationfreeway server has data about 6 minutes behind the openstreetmap server but it allows much larger bounding boxes to be specified.
