You can download data. I update my local planet file at least once a day with all changesets for my maps. They are only not in the old directory anymore, but in a new path. And if the license bot did run, the directories will change again.
I’m using “osmosis --read-replication-interval” for this task.

Hi Folks
First of all i would like to thank Lambertus for this outstanding service! I’ve discovered his website while searching for Maps of Namibia… I was travelling around this beautiful country this March, with a Map of Namibia on my Garmin 60CSx. I was able to find all my hotels and Lodges in MapSource and even the routing worked perfect… I’m so happy with this service that i tried to do the same with a map of Iceland. Now i have the Map installed in MapSource - but i’ve lost my Namibia Map too, because the both maps have the same name “OSM World Routable” followed by the date… Same if i re-install my Namibia Map - i’m loosing the Iceland Map. I’m wondering now if it’s possible to install more then one Map from Lambertus in MapSource. Sorry but i did not read all of the 59 pages of this forum thread and i don’t know much about creating maps for garmin devices… But i’m happy with links or howto’s 
thanks and stay tuned, tinoo
Lambertus, exactly what i’m looking for! Thanks a lot!
Status: Working on an update. Will take a while though… downloading 21 GB and then applying some 30.000 diffs 
Lambertus does this mean the site will be updated?
PS: I appreciate your hard work in making the OSM data easily available to the general GARMIN user community. Great presentation through the clickable world map too.

Thanks 
Yes, an update is underway. I just found another tool: osmupdate, which is able to update a planet using the redaction period change files. I couldn’t find out how to do this using Osmosis, but this new tool did it just fine. Update is published only on the new site.
Thank you very much, Lambertus.
Does that mean that the ‘old’ site will no longer be updated and go away soon?
Yes
Any problems with that? 
Hey, I don’t know if the data update is complete, but I noticed a new map version date on the site so I requested a map for my area (SE corner of Arizona, bootheel of New Mexico) and it seems to be missing… well… almost all detail. In my immediate area there are only tiny fragments of roads occasionally remaining. I can’t imagine it’s a licensing issue, because I know for a fact that some of the roads were created originally by me from scratch and I agreed to the updated licensing terms a year ago or more, but they’re nowhere to be seen in the generated Garmin map anymore.
Aside from that, I also wanted to thank you for offering this service. It’s really great to be able to easily use OSM data on my GPS unit, as there is literally no other map that’s remotely accurate for my area. I’ve been showing the resulting map to some of my hiking companions and they’ve also been appreciative of how nice it is to have a GPS map that shows roads and trails where they actually are. Garmin’s official and expensive map, which I bought, is so inaccurate in comparison that it’s sad.
Well… uhm… yes … I guess something went wrong 
Investigating…
Edit: The updated planet file is larger then the planet from April 1st, but the initial split resulted in only 94 tiles when it should be around ~1500.
Not at all, but I thought that the new site will use the old address, so the links all over the net won’t be outdated.
Regards,
Peter.
Correct: the old page will be removed and the new one renamed to the old.

For info, I have just tried downloading the PK-Kerachi Map (http://osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic/04-06-2012/63240120.img) from the new site and once loaded on my GARMIN it looks to be an OSM delta with no coast.

Hi,
I downloaded a map (gmapsupp.img) for Germany, including the Mapnik-Typ File but I see no
effect on my GPS device. So the map looks the same as w/o Typfile.

Thanks for the report Chris, will look into that.
Bah, I’m having a streak of bad luck 
First the problems not being able to maintain an up-to-date local OSM planet copy, now somehow the pre-rendering result of a new update has vanished into a black hole while being moved to the public website. No sign of wat went wrong, just that everything is gone, lost, foetsie, disappeared, vaporized etc. No trace of ~8 GB data to be found anywhere.
Don’t worry, this is just a preview of what happens on 21st of december 2012 with the real planet… 
Perhaps. Unlike a possible end of the earth I can simple start a new update of the map, much the same way the Mayans started a new calendar when their old one ended.
I’ve restarted the update which, if it finishes successfully, will have used the data from the last available planet of May 8th unlike all previous updates since April 1st which used the data from April 1st. After the update is finished I’ll proceed with my quest in trying to maintain a locally updated version of the OSM planet.
