Usually Iām trying to update every week or so, but OSM is moving to new license and this might cause a temporary reduction in map quality. Iām 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 (Iāve 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A newer version of the map is available for the new version of the website but the custom map server is currently down so I wonāt provide a link yet. The custom map server will be serviced on Monday, I hope.
Housekeeping note: moved-off topic discussion to itās 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 donāt have any embarassed icons, or Iād use one. Guess my Gymnasiumdeutsch doesnāt 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 canāt see any contours in BaseCamp.
I canāt figure out how to translate the Dutch readme file.
I notice the TYP file is named ofmlite.TYP. Iāve 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 canāt download the mapsource installer openfietsmap_lite_mapsource.exe to install the map?
I donāt know where you have found a Dutch readme file?
Typ file with names should work (as long as it doesnāt exceed 8 characters or digits).
If contours arenāt 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 havenāt 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. āRoadtripā is now everywhere updated to āBaseCamp/RoadTripā (as has MapSource) and the filename is changed to _macosx.zip.
Ok, but then the map is a generic one. āRoutable worldā as the original map is named isnāt really suitable anymore as the Openfietsmap lite is also world routableā¦
Please forgive my glaring ignorance, but I canāt find anything about how to test a gmapi file on Windows (or Linux).
At least you could put āOSMā in the name Since the name of the map is defined in the TDB file, it should be possible to define it at generation time so that it reflects the map selection the user madeā¦ It would be a lot easier for users that want to use several maps.
BaseCamp and recent versions of MapSource support the new gmap format as well. You have to put the gmap folder inside the gmapi folder (itās not a file, although it appears to be so for Mac users) into the folder C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps (Vista/W7); then BC and MS are able to use the map. You could also install the gmap(i) with JaVaWa GMTK.
