There are some users reporting in the Q&A Forum and myself also have no success.

Which site? This Forum? I have no problems with FF18.

Hi,
was already repaired by Lambertus.

I've been informed that the server is currently not reachable because of network maintenance work. Please be patient, the server should be back in a few hours.

Hi,

since Saturday I am trying to download a map with some Asian tiles.
I am able to select the regarding tiles and submit the request, but I do not get any mail. No confirmation and no mail containing the download path.

What can I do?

Regards wwgkn

Lambertus · 2013-01-14 15:10:55

Thanks for the report. I think the mail service has stopped because of the network maintenance. The mail service has been restarted and verified that it's working again. I don't know if you'll receive the old messages, but you can simply request your map again in case you don't.

wwgkn · 2013-01-14 15:19:36

Thank you.
I now received all mails of the previous tries of map generation.
I started to download the relevant files. However it seems that I am not the only one who is doing this now.

But this is a minor issue and will disappear, soon.

Best Regards wwgkn

Lambertus · 2013-01-14 15:23:03

It's possible that many people are downloading now. If they all do at the same time then the harddisks will be having a hard time providing the proper bytes and everyone will have much reduced download speeds. If you don't need your map immediately then you can try again in a few hours and enjoy a much faster download

Edit: Yup, the custom map server is quite busy:

Lambertus, can you check if the lite version uses the parameter --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background?
I suspect it uses somehow natural=land as background (0x27) which covers almost everything because I use it for other purposes in my typ file (islands in a lake for instance).

The OFM Lite background is still not in order. I can't find any OFM Lite options on the server, only one build.php that redirects to a general one. There is one build.php.old that contains the generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background options so there might be something wrong in the scripts. Can you check this Lambertus?

Lambertus · 2013-01-14 22:30:00

Indeed, there is currently only one build script for both maps which includes a config script that is map-specific. I messed-up while extracting the config from the old (individual) build scripts, somehow the generate-sea option was lost during this process which I only noticed after you mentioned it. I've added this option to the config last weekend and a new update is running.

BTW, the previous update failed because the planet update script generated (the osmupdate too actually) a corrupt planet somehow. There are so many steps where things can (and do!) go wrong... sigh

ligfietser · 2013-01-14 23:56:49

Lambertus, you remind me of this guy:

In your config.inc.php I still see some options that are not correct:

" --reduce-point-density=4",
" --reduce-point-density-polygon=8",
" --make-opposite-cycleways",
" --link-pois-to-ways",
" --precomp-sea='/home/lambertus/garmin/utils/sea'",
" --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background",
" --show-profiles=1",
" --add-pois-to-lines",
" --index",
" --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest",
" --latin1", // implies code-page=1252
" --ignore-maxspeeds",
" --remove-short-arcs",
" --min-size-polygon=10",
" --merge-lines",
" --add-pois-to-areas",
" --preserve-element-order",
" --route",
" --name-tag-list=name:en,int_name,name:zh_py,name:engels,name"

Can you also add
--copyright-message: Map data © openstreetmap.org, Map layout © openfietsmap.nl

And update the styles and typ file?

Sorry Ligfietser, I must have been deprived of enough blood sugar when creating those config files

ligfietser · 2013-01-16 13:20:03

No worries, the only tag that could lead to routing issues is --make-opposite-cycleways
I have my own solution for this in my styles so this one isnt needed.

GRi · 2013-01-16 23:13:48

Just installed the new OFM. This seems to be ok. Both with the included typ file and with my own 2, adjusted ones.
Question for ligfietser: do I have to check my own typ's agains the included one? Are there important or interesting changes?

Good to hear everyting is fine now. You can check the differences in typ files on ati.land.cz or check the revisions in the OFM typ file here:

Hi Lambertus,

Thanks for the easy to use Garmin map download facility.
It has become a lot more userfriendly and versatile since I last visited in 2011. OSM is unstoppably moving forward!

I'd love to see two additions though:
- some readymade maps for download. Navigation map of Europe or Benelux would be my first idea, but maybe you can see in your logs which are the most frequently requested maps.
- The ability to select multiple countries in the country dialog. For me I would like to select all tiles for Netherlands, Belgium and Germany for instance.

Kind Regards and thanks for you great work.

Bert

Lambertus · 2013-01-18 10:35:44

Hello Bert, thanks for the compliments, they are shared with many others who contributed

some readymade maps for download. Navigation map of Europe or Benelux would be my first idea, but maybe you can see in your logs which are the most frequently requested maps.

I've previously dreamed about a functionality like this. I guess the best option would be to provide a polygon in Well Known Text format as url parameters and then match+select tiles. Something like:

http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl?POLYGON((30 10, 10 20, 20 40, 40 40, 30 10))

This would allow people to provide permalinks to areas that are independent of map versions. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement, but time is in short demand.

The ability to select multiple countries in the country dialog. For me I would like to select all tiles for Netherlands, Belgium and Germany for instance.

That's a nice idea, something like hold the shift-key while clicking on a list item to add another country to the selection?

I guess that's why the typ file and mkgmap configuration developed by Minko and me hasn't been implemented yet. Anyway, I appreciate the time and effort you put into this project. I have now figured out how to drag and drop make my own maps.

Lambertus · 2013-01-18 11:24:45

Beddhist, shame on me for I not implementing the stylesheet yet, you guys put a lot of time into that. Is it possible that you investigate what changes in Mkgmap parameters are needed to get the stylesheet in use?

Beddhist · 2013-01-18 11:49:21

I'll try. First, let me know your current params. I don't think I have ever changed them, though.

Regards,
Peter.

ligfietser · 2013-01-18 15:51:43

Lambertus, I see you use --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background also for the generic map but since natural=background is not a tag (with correspondent garmin ID) in the default style so either this would be ignored (which I hope) or the map will have issues. Only use this tag for the OFM Lite.

What does max_size = 8*1024*1024 do? I assume it's an internal parameter for your tile scripts or is it a mkgmap option?

Lambertus · 2013-01-18 16:35:17

Ok, the generate sea option is gone. The max_size is a parameter for the scripts, the generic map is created with tiles which are no larger then 8 MB so that older Garmin device users can use them.

Beddhist · 2013-01-30 08:39:07

These options look fine to me, although I'm no mkgmap expert. Just give it a whirl.
