I have been using OKMap to make a trail map.
I have an aerial photo on which I plot gpx tracks.
This works perfectly.

I would like to create a Garmin custom map using the tile facility.
This works, except...I can only tile the aerial map but I haven't been able to figure out how to include the gpx tracks.

The end result I would like, is a Garmin custom map that shows the aerial view plus the trail tracks.
Is this possible?

you can follow two ways:
1. (the normal way) save your tracks into one or more GPX file (menu File - Save - All waypoints, routes, tracks). Connect your GPS to the computer using the cable provided by Garmin. Then copy the saved GPX file(s) (that contains your tracks) into GPS in the right folder (see the GPS user manual). Some GPS firmware neeed to mark the tracks as “visible” on the map (see GPS user manual).
2. (an alternative way) save the image of your map into a JPG file (menu: File – Save – Map image at zoom level). Remember to set the zoom factor to 100% before saving the image. Then rename your original map image with another name and rename the saved image file with the original name. Now your map contains your tracks burned into image and you can tile it.
