Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Lambertus · 2011-09-12 10:05:17

The new site seems ready for it but afaik the custom server isn't yet. I would like to have the new site running privately and reasonably tested first before throwing it out there.

When can we expect the next build?

It's uploading, hopefully without problems.

Lambertus · 2011-09-19 09:03:31

Well, there was a problem: the custom server was not online at the critical moment in the update process, so I had to finish the final steps manually. But a new version is finally online.

jorisbens · 2011-09-20 14:36:38

Is it possible to download the mapnik typ file seperately from a predefined country?

Oops, thanks a lot!

Is it actually a new version? Any changes since at least September 6 aren't reflected in my area (Victoria, BC, Canada). I'd appreciate it if you could check and make sure the right version got uploaded.
Thanks

I'm sure the current version is not a copy of the previous one. But it's possible that the incremental process that keeps my planet copy updated is sometimes missing changes. I'll download a fresh planet and run a new update this weekend.

Hi, I am new here and have one question, I downloaded several .img files from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ for the USA; now I put this on my SD card and put this into my Garmin Nüvi 350, but I cannot see the maps of the selected states; what am I doing wrong? Do I still need to do something? For any help I would appreciate it; next Tuesday I am going to the US and hopefully by then I have got the system working ;-) , BR A-G

Lambertus · 2011-09-24 12:08:49

Separate .img files cannot be read by your GPS. They need to be combined into a single container (confusingly also named .img). Some devices support multiple containers though.

So you need to combine the .img files into a single container .img (usually named gmapsupp.img). There are multiple ways and applications that can do this for you. Selecting the tiles on the website and request the server to make them into a map is one such way. You'll receive a download link from which you can download the gmapsupp.img.

But, since you're going to the US, you can also download large portions using Dave Hansen's work who has done the work -as described above- for you:

Hi Lambertus...

I've been trying to download a custom set of tiles for the last day or two but when I enter my email address and click the button I receive a server timed out error. I just thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware of the problem. Many thanks for this invaluable service!

Lambertus · 2011-09-25 12:10:06

Yes, it's unfortunate but the custom map server appears to suffer from a hardware and/or software problem which causes it to freeze up regularly. The administrator is trying hard to find a solution, but it's not fixed yet. If the connection to the server times-out then the server is almost certainly in a freezed state. Perhaps it's wise to check the server status below the slippy map before attempting to request a custom map.

It should be accepting requests again since this morning 08:00 CET (GMT+1)

Roy73 · 2011-09-25 21:55:11

I'm probably not the first one to ask this question, but I can't find tha answer. When I download a map of for example the Benelux for mapsource it is called osm_routable_mapsource.exe. installation works fine and I can work with the map in mapsource. Next I downloaded a map of France, the filename of the download has the same name as the other map and during installation it overwrites the map of the Benelux. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Wombatus · 2011-09-26 06:12:40

If you search on OSM with the term "Duncan Rd, Sarsfield" the results show, correctly, "Duncan Rd, Sarsfield 3885, Victoria, Australia", and described as "Unclassified Road". However if I look at Duncan Rd on OSM in Edit mode, it is described as "Tertiary Road". What is more interesting is that if I request the tile that contains Duncan Rd (AU-Albury) and install it to Mapsource, Duncan Rd is not visible at all, even with Map Detail set to highest. All other Tertiary Roads nearby show up OK.

Can you advise what is going wrong.

Thanks

csdf · 2011-09-26 09:42:16

I suspect that because it is also tagged as an administrative boundary, the maper of your Mapsource map isn't processing it correctly and so the road tags are not making it through to the final map.

All maps use the same Garmin Product and Family ID so they overwrite each other. The website lists a manual -below the slippy map- that describes how to install multiple maps.

That's right, although I'm currently only removing the very lowest administrative borders (from the top of my head: levels 9 & 10), which might include roads that use the same OSM ways. Very unfortunately indeed. I think the upcoming changes will fix this.

I have since found that the OSM routable maps that I had loaded to my GPS60Cx earlier this year which contained the AU-Albury tile, did show Duncan Rd, Sarsfield. So something has changed since then to make it not show up in the maps I . Can you advise when the upcoming changes you refer to will take effect?
Many thanks.

jagspeed · 2011-09-29 07:17:43

Great Program..

Would like to ask some help on this matter. I have tried to down load both (several and alternatively couiple of maps) but after running the .exe file, the Mapsource shows a bland map where the selected maps are located?

Would this be a corrupt download or is the Map-source the wrong version?

Well, I don't know what caused the road to disappear if it was still visible early this year because, afaik, the boundary filtering is applied for longer then that. But the boundary filtering is still the primary suspect, which should be fixed when I release the next website update. For that to happen I need to make sure that both map servers are updated as well. I'm still working on the custom map server, the country map server is ready.

If the .exe ran without problems then it's something else (the .exe has built-in sanity checks). Providing a MapSource version number would be handy

Normal MapSource procedure is (after installing the map):
- select the map from the dropdown menu
- zoom out to 3000 km
- look for a small yellow blob on the screen
- zoom in on the blob
- below e.g. 1km you should really see roads

If not, press ctrl+g twice to clear the MapSource cache and try again. I don't know what's wrong if it still doesn't work after this.

jagspeed · 2011-09-29 11:17:03

Lambertus

You are the Guru.

Mapsource 6.16.3

The "ctrl+g"twice worked perfect. All the map details came out so its working now.

Thanks so much, I been trying to get workable OSM into my GPS for 2 weeks from splitting to MKGmap to everything. I can sleep once again.

Hi!

Have several suggestions for generated maps...
1)-- removed, seems that only I have that problem...

2) it could be great to see building numbers at the map:
file points
mkgmap:housenumber!=* & addr:housenumber=* { set mkgmap:housenumber='${addr:housenumber}' }
file polygons
mkgmap:housenumber!=* & addr:housenumber=* { set mkgmap:housenumber='${addr:housenumber}' }
building=* | man_made=* | amenity=* | tourism=* {name '${addr:housenumber}'} [0x13 resolution 22]

I suppose the first lines are from default style of new mkgmap to support map indexing... only last line is enough.

3) still would be good to have option to generate map with "code-page=1251" parameter... Like enabling Mapnik style is done

Convenient shortcut for this procedure is to press "Ctrl -".

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but the ocean in the UK gmapsupp is missing around Liverpool.

freewave · 2011-10-05 19:28:48

Is it normal for woods and wetlands to show up as lines in mapsource and basecamp? I suspect its because there is no typ file but I really dont know.
