Uhuh
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.
No worries Seldom, we know when someone blushes, with or without the correct smiley
BTW. Power is back and the website is accessible again.
Ah I see you added a donation button on the new site!
So everybody who appreciates this service is welcome to send tips!
Yes, I used a rainy Saturday afternoon to figure out how PayPal works and create an account. I had nothing better to doā¦
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).
You can find more about the instructions how to use the map at http://www.openfietsmap.nl/tips-tricks
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.
Contours are not included (yet).
Donāt take the (yet) as: that I will add it later for sure. Iām not.
I will take it under consideration only
- if there is a (scriptable) method of retrieving and splitting and handling the whole planet and
- if I can find the storage space to host it. This is probably not a real problem.
Where did you find the Dutch readme file?
Correct. I think it will be better to move to a numerical one.
You shouldnāt if you previously had not needed it for the generic routable map. Why do you ask?
/me just back from an exhausting MTB training trip
Edit: Ah, weāve got crossing posts.
Iām hoping someone will find figure it out too
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).
I will.
That might work on a linux server, assuming that gmt.exe will run on Mono, but it requires a complete rewrite of the script.
This will be the least problemā¦
Anyway, Iām parking this (worldwide contours) for later.
Iām currently working on fixing bugs in the new toolchain and adding documentation to the OSM wiki.
There is a Linux version of gmt available, no need for mono.
Thorsten
Oh, cool
Still, as it stands right now, contours arenāt high on my priority list.
I have a request for Mac OSX users: can you please test a gmapi version from the new website and report if you encounter problems or not? Thanks
No problems, only three remarks:
- The name of the download file: RoadTrip is obsolete (like I said before)
- The name of the map: āGeneric routableā isnāt very descriptiveā¦
- The test can be done on Windows too; if it works there, it will work on the Mac.
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.
Iām able to load the .gmapi file into Garmin MapManager, but when I connect my Garmin Montana and open Garmin MapInstall to load it onto the GPS unit, MapInstall crashes. When I uninstall the .gmapi from the new site, MapInstall launches correctly again. When I install a .gmapi from the old site, no crash occurs.
Which version of MapInstall do you use? Did you choose a predefined country, or a custom selection? Maybe there is a conflict with another installed map; you can check that with JaVaWa GMTK: http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html
Iām using MapInstall 4.0.0, the latest version. I chose a custom selection on both the old and new sites: a single tile, MX-Agua Prieta. JaVaWa GMTK says:
File error: Faraday:Users:jonathan:Library:Application Support:Garmin:Maps:Generic routable.gmap:OSMTiles:63240000
Errors recoverable: No
Edit: downloading generic_tiles.zip and converting with JaVaWa MapConverter results in a .gmap file that I can install without causing any crashes or errors.
