Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Thank you for this information. The From address does really exist (lot’s of people reply to the email asking questions) but the hostname of the server that sends the email differs from the address that people should reply to, so I’ve now changed the From header to the sender email address (the custom map server) and added a new Reply-To header.

Can you check if this works for you?

Hi Lambertus,

I sent you an E-mail with some info.
Did you receive this?
It does not work jet.

Kind regards

Yes, sorry for not responding yet. I’m uncertain how to proceed to solve this and are looking around for a solution. I will come back to you whether I find a solution or not.

No problem.

for myself I know how to solve it.
Just temporarily switch off the SAV control If I want to download.

Kind regards

Hello Lamertus, Many thanks for your great service. I have just come back from holiday in Turkey, Dalaman to Antalya area. We covered 700 miles. I used your maps and they were great. The only problem I encountered was Mapsource was not able to calculate a route between two points using roads except very short routes. It just produced a straight line. I had to create waypoints, tranfer these to my gps (Garmin Quest) and get the gps to do the route calculation. I am using Ver. 6.13.7 Mapsource. Have I read somewhere that Ver. 5.?? works better? Thanks again. Regards. Chris.

I’ve uploaded the Turkey map to my GSPmap60CSx, created a new route between the places Dalaman and Antalya, enabled demo mode and routing went fine (using the D400 highway for most of the trip). The same worked find in MapSource. I do notice that most streets in Antalya don’t have a name yet, but that doesn’t matter in this case.

No idea if it’s the GPS difference (Quest vs GPSmap60) or some settings.

In this test I used MapSource 6.16.3. I never heard about a MapSource 5.x version let alone that it is better then 6.x so my advice would be to stick with 6.x.

Hello !

I would like a complete EUROPE map with a “osm_routable_mapsource.exe” file for MapSource, but i can´t download all Tiles in one file.

Has anyone made that file, or what do i do ?

Anyone ?

Hi Henrik,

I suggest you download the tiles for the countries only. You can then use MapSetToolKit to install them into MS.

Regards,
Peter.

Peter >> Yep… but i can´t make cross-border routes with each country in seperate files… :frowning:

Tiles should have unique 8 digit names. See if you can get MapSetToolKit to give the same Product Name and 4 digit FID to each mapsets. If that doesn’t work use mkgmap to create a TDB file for all IMG files.

Hello,
I downloaded a few tiles from california.
I can install, see all details in mapsource and download easy to my nüvi2360.

In mapsource I can see all streets and details, select country and city, but when searching for a street, it tells me that the street is not valid in this map-product, even if I see it in the list and in the map.

Inside the GPS, the map is visible and selectable from the cards menue.

If both city navigator (installed Europe) and OSM map (California) are selected, I can not enter “USA” or alike in the “country” field - only european countries are available. If I deselect the citiy navigator map, the device tells me that no map is available.
I am sure the map is installed, but I have no clue how to access and use it.

Retried few days later with a single tile containing San Francisco, same behavior.

I searched a lot but was not able to find a similar post here or in other forums. Do you have a clue?

Thank you for the great service and regards.

I installed California in MapSource and searched for a few streets and every one of them worked well. Can you provide a streetname and cityname so that I can try to replicate the problem?

But unfortunately address search is still very problematic. On some older devices things work a bit better then the newer (e.g. Nuvi’s) but still not perfect. Improving this has been a slow process and there is not much I can do about that.

See e.g. Mkgmap wiki page and the Mkgmap mailinglist

I’m going back to the stable version (r1867) for the next update and it would be nice if you can test if things are any better.

Aha! That explains why I have to put via points into my routes.

If you are running the latest mkgmap now then there is a regression bug as well, that was fixed recently: amenity=shelter is rendered as camp ground. Must go and try that out.

Regards,
Peter.

Well not the latest, but one of the latest at least (can’t check now which one exactly).

A new version is up, this time rendered without powerlines and with an older Mkgmap version. This probably means that the Mapnik TYP file won’t work. Perhaps Ligfietser can give an indication of the usability of the Mapnik TYP file at this point.

I plan to continue to use the newest Mkgmap version with the next update if the problems mentioned in a few other topics on this forum still appear.

Typ file should work, altough maybe a few items have changed since r1867. You only have to take caution is that the nsis installer has been changed a lot since rev 1882 (?) so if you change it back to an earlier version of mkgmap I don’t know if this has an impact on uninstalling the osm maps.

Ah yes, good points. The newer nsis installer automatically uninstalled previous installations, the older one used to copy and overwrite only. Anyway, this is only for one week hopefully.

Update: I’m upgrading the storage for the custom maps during which the site will be disabled.

Storage for the custom maps has been enlarged from 300GB to 64TB. Yes, you read that right: sixty-four terabyte!!!

The sad thing is that only 14TB is free because it appears there are other users who use the same storage as well. Pfff, not fair I say. I’ve even been threatened not to use all the available storage, failure to adhere to this demand will likely result in receiving a visit by several people… Do you believe that? :expressionless:

Alas, I think we have to help ourselves with a mere ~10TB.

Oh well, guess it could have been worse. :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley: :smiley:

Thanks anyway…
