Apparently, the HTTP request is so large that it is split into multiple packets. This can confuse some HTTP proxies and firewalls performing certain protocol checks:
.VoilĂĄ, that worked. If anyone else with a SonicWALL firewall encounters the same problem, this is the workaround:
I tried to create a containing germany, austria, switzerland and some parts of italy. While submitting the request I get the following error:
Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at osm2.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de Port 80
I think this because the request is sent as as HTTP GET request, which is limited by size. Would it be possible to accept the request as a HTTP POST request, which dies not have a limitation of size. Or is this limitation to prevent to large requests?
I hope thatâs it ligfietser. Although I pretty sure the --index parameter was left out for a reason but, alas, canât find it anymore.
Iâve started a new update, letâs see what it does. Thanks!
Great, Iâm glad you worked it out yourself
I think Iâll rewrite the submit to use an http post method, that would solve the server (and proxy) limitations. Maximum tilecount checks are also performed in the code and will let you know when you request too many tiles.
Edit: The request has now been rewritten as a POST request (and will now also open in a new browser window/tab).
Your welcome. It will hopefully also solve the âproblemâ of receiving the same email multiple times for people who leave the ârequest acceptedâ tab open when restarting their browser/computer.
Next development will be permalinks for easy selection of the same areas/points, e.g. the Alps, Benelux, Andes between map updates. These permalinks can then be shared on e.g. a wiki page or stored as a browser bookmark. Iâm currently thinking of using the WKT format which is easily readable. This will probably be a long awaited and exciting development for many although the current mousedrag-select feature already comes a long way.
I used JaWaVa GMTK to change the FID and all the map names.
I have downloaded another OSM map from the same site and using the windows installer have tried to install but get the error message âOSM generic routable already installedâŚâ.
Is it possible to install a second OSM map when one is already installed on the computer?
@Gavinx I suppose you could run the uninstaller because it only removes the previous uninstaller (if you renamed the FID and map names I dont think it will delete them)
@Lambertus, running GTMK I see there is a mismatch in the product code of the TYP file (it still uses PID=3 instead of 6). I have changed that in the typ file, you can grab it here. If you are using other PIDâs or FIDâs you can better use the txt file in your mkgmap parameters, because mkgmap automatically correct them with the internal typ compiler.
Gavin,
You can replace it, it should be the same typ file (apart from the product code which was wrong). Make sure you have to adjust the FID/PID codes as well if youâve changed them (GMTK can do this I suppose).
I noticed that the current version (23-09-2012) only contains data up to September 12 due to changes in the way OSM distributes incremental updates. This has been fixed so the next update should contain changes up to September 25th.
at first I want to thank you for this great service!
However I have a problem with installing the maps in MapSource on Windows. The installation works allright, but I have multiple installation files (.exe), e.g. for Germany where I live, and for various countries where I go for holiday (e.g. Italy). Whenever I install one of the exe files, I am told that the âgeneric routable maps are already installedâ, and I have to deinstall e.g. the Germany maps when I want to install the Italy maps.
Is there a way how I can have the maps for multiple countries at the same time, with the possibility to switch between them like itâs possible with different maps purchased from Garmin? Or do I have to download an .exe file e.g. which contains all countries of Europe?
Iâm sorry Minko, yes, Iâve seen your email and I will update them asap, but my real life and other OS projects workload are way over my head at the moment. Perhaps I have a bit of time Saturday morningâŚ
