Mobile Atlas Creator and Garmin Custom Maps

The MOBAC is a very good program for downloading maps from various on-line sources (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, OpenStreetMap, but also, for example, UK OS Maps, etc.) and putting their "tiles" together into atlases that can be used in many different mobile devices. I was using the maps in my Android-based mobile phone with two different mobile applications: Maverick and OruxMaps (the Maverick links has more details about MOBAC).

The Mobile Atlas Creator can also create an atlas as Garmin's Custom Maps. But in my case, the result was disappointing (bad image resolution, maps were not really readable). But perhaps I was using wrong input parameters. I have found a good tutorial that may help to get better results: http://gpsteam.eu/guide/MOBAC_KMZ/MOBAC_GarminKMZ.htm.

Just to remind you how good the MOBAC is, here is a screenshot of a CykloAtlas from the Czech Republic (no, this is not the Garmin Custom map; this is a screenshot from the Mobile Atlas on the PC):
