Ik ben nieuw op OSM, en heb mij netjes geregistreerd, maar als ik probeer mijn eigen map aan te maken en selecties (3) maak, krijg ik geen verbinding met Duitsland waar alles vandaan komt; waar ligt dat aan?
Groetjes, Karel
Edited by Lambertus: Karel, this is an international forum please continue the discussion in English, thanks!. To answer your question: the custom map server -which is located in Germany- is currently down. I hope it will be serviced by the administrator on Monday.
Usually I’m trying to update every week or so, but OSM is moving to new license and this might cause a temporary reduction in map quality. I’m also working on a new version of the website with some new features and a second map specifically for cyclists. These two topics have caused the lack of updates in the last month.
For everyone out there who is concerned about the lack of updates (I’ve received quite a lot of emails on this topic lately): I have no intention to stop providing the maps.
A newer version of the map is available for the new version of the website but the custom map server is currently down so I won’t provide a link yet. The custom map server will be serviced on Monday, I hope.
Housekeeping note: moved-off topic discussion to it’s own topic.
Update: server downtime is caused by complete powerloss at the datacenter.
In English to lie or to lie is the same but with different meanings, in Dutch Lieg = lie (not to tell the thruth) and lig = lie (lay down, recumbent).
Fietser comes from fiets (bicycle) which seems derived from the German Vize Pferd (vice horse, the first bicycles were seen as replacement for horse)
Too bad you guys don’t have any embarassed icons, or I’d use one. Guess my Gymnasiumdeutsch doesn’t translate too well into Dutch. To the east of you guys lieg means to lie, as in horizontal.
English speaker needs help.
I just downloaded Openfietsmap Lite for Utah, USA.
I can’t see any contours in BaseCamp.
I can’t figure out how to translate the Dutch readme file.
I notice the TYP file is named ofmlite.TYP. I’ve normally seen this as a 5 digit file name.
Do I need to install something with MapSetToolkit or JavawaGMTK?
Thanks.
Contours are not included.
You can’t download the mapsource installer openfietsmap_lite_mapsource.exe to install the map?
I don’t know where you have found a Dutch readme file?
Typ file with names should work (as long as it doesn’t exceed 8 characters or digits).
If contours aren’t included, its showing correctly.
The installer worked fine.
The Dutch ReadMe was from an old download I left on my computer.
It showed up in a search and I thought it was with the Lite download. Sorry for the confusion.
Too bad about the contours. I was hoping you guys had figured a way to blend in SRTM on demand.
Lambertus, maybe take the FID for the name of the typ file: 20011.typ
About contours: Thorsten Kukuk has made a set of USA contours, see http://tk-osm.thkukuk.de
You can merge them with my osm combi tool (http://www.openfietsmap.nl/downloads/osm_combi) somehow
but I haven’t adapted my scripts to the new openfietsmap world wide lite version yet (which means that it will omit the 6344*.img index files automatically, so you have to do it yourself).
Indeed you have and I forgot, sorry about that. “Roadtrip” is now everywhere updated to “BaseCamp/RoadTrip” (as has MapSource) and the filename is changed to _macosx.zip.
Ok, but then the map is a generic one. “Routable world” as the original map is named isn’t really suitable anymore as the Openfietsmap lite is also world routable…
Please forgive my glaring ignorance, but I can’t find anything about how to test a gmapi file on Windows (or Linux).
