Great, much appreciated. This is a totally different way of accomplishing my goal. I started my country downloads. I will give it a shot today. As a minimum the number of steps compared to my earlier efforts is drastically less. Less to go wrong.
Again, thanks a lot.

Well, success. with a trial. I combined Belgium and Luxembourg and it worked. Routing seems to work as well. My 8 GB and 2GB swap file was not enough, but increasing the swap file to 5GB seemed to have done the trick. I started with the Powershell for the various commands, but it behaves itself weird. Although I changed directory to where my files were located Powershell could not find the files without a complete file path. Instead I went to the old CMD standby and that worked better. I got all kinds of error codes with the bounds / sealatest files when creating the img files, but it did not seem to matter for the end result.
Now off to creating the full NL-Portugal map.
Gerd, thanks a bunch. That was very helpful!!

You probably skipped step b) or f) : Make sure that the sample.cfg contains the actual full paths to the downloaded bounds-latest.zip and sea-latest.zip
Yes, that was the problem. I changed the path in the cfg file, but did not notice the bounds and seas file name which needed fixing. Once that was fixed everything is now OK. I made the Netherlands to Portugal map with no problem. I took your procedure and added more info and details / links / files for my own use for the next time. I also made a batch file so I can do it all in one shot the next time. Once in a while the old DOS days come back into use.
This was soooo much easier then my previous (and failed) efforts.
Thanks for your followup.
Regarding the server problems: in the meantime you can also use the BBBike extract service for garmin extracts, see

Hope it helps and enjoy OpenStreetMap based maps for your garmin device!
Hello people,
I would like to download in Garmin GPSMAP new version of a map that covers Georgia country.
Before I generated it on the garmin.openstreetmap.nl but now this site provide me to waited “The delay is approximately 232.5 days.” 
Can anyone help? 
p.s. Solution by mkgmap.org.uk is not good way for me as I am not a programmer.

Pick a site which works for you from here

Good one. Thanks.
Hi,
Yesterday I went on to your system and created a map request for a UK map.
I received the confirmation email with the link to download the map.
When I follow the link it tells me “This request is #61783 in the queue. The delay is approximately 257.4 days.”
Surely that’s not correct - is it ?
Regards,
Andy
@AndyBurnton Presumably you are referring to http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ ? If so, I would ignore anything that you see there - the site is dead. Instead, please use somewhere from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download (as suggested on many of the 126 pages of the thread there https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=2625&p=126 ) instead.
Здравствуйте форумчане.
Подскажите пожалуйста, почему нигде не указано что можно загружать IMG сразу на флешку или внутреннюю память устройства. У меня GPSMAP64S и гармин нуви 3490, в обоих устройствах делаю так и все работает. ПОЧЕМУ все тут делают загрузку через дополнительные программы гармина? Зачем эти танцы с бубном?
After http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl stopped working correctly I was looking a way to locally generate maps provided by them. I mean, there are other sources of OSM maps but somehow maps from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl visually looked the best, especially openfiest and generic routable (new style). Original style looks awful on basecamp IMHO.
I managed to find styles used by http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl on https://github.com/ligfietser/mkgmap-style-sheets but here was no instructions how to use them (just enabling style in mkgmap didn’t help).
Below are the steps that worked for me:
mkdir garmin-work; cd garmin-work
java -Xmx4000m -jar ../splitter-r645/splitter.jar ../croatia-latest.osm.pbf
java -ea -Xmx4000m -jar ../mkgmap-r4836/mkgmap.jar --family-name="OSM HR Openfiets Light" --series-name="OSM HR Openfiets Light" --route --gmapi --style-file=../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/styles/ --style="Openfietsmap lite" --family-id=1001 -c template.args ../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/typ/Openfietsmap\ lite/20011.typ
java -ea -Xmx4000m -jar ../mkgmap-r4836/mkgmap.jar --family-name="OSM HR Openfiets Full" --series-name="OSM HR Openfiets Full" --route --gmapi --style-file=../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/styles/ --style="Openfietsmap full" --family-id=1002 -c template.args ../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/typ/Openfietsmap\ lite/20011.typ
java -ea -Xmx4000m -jar ../mkgmap-r4836/mkgmap.jar --family-name="OSM HR-SLO-BIH Routable (new-style)" --series-name="OSM HR-SLO-BIH Routable (new-style)" --route --gmapi --style-file=../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/styles/ --style="generic new" --family-id=1003 -c template.args ../mkgmap-style-sheets-master/typ/osm\ generic\ new/2000.typ
Hope it helps…
Openfietsmap Light
Openfietsmap Full
Generic routing (new style)
Original generic routing ugly as hell
The TYP file is what determines the style. It tells the software that if it sees an object tagged as X, then make it look ‘this way’. Without a TYP file, the software would have to fall back on the default Garmin style to determine how an object should be displayed.
help me, i want to download vietnam map.

Just attempted to download a map of Colorado. Received an email with the following message.
This request is #165800 in the queue. The delay is approximately 690.8 days.
What?
