I have an OSM map already loaded in the computer, downloaded from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/.
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 “OSM generic routable already installed…”.
Is it possible to install a second OSM map when one is already installed on the computer?
thanks
Gavin
@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 PID’s or FID’s you can better use the txt file in your mkgmap parameters, because mkgmap automatically correct them with the internal typ compiler.
ligfietser,
I normally extract a map from Lambertus site using the mapnik style map - but could I replace the mapnik TYP file with the TYP file you list on this page - http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Ftyp%2Fosm%20generic
From what I can gather this TYP file (and the mapnik one) does not render historic=Ruins?
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 you’ve changed them (GMTK can do this I suppose).
It does not have a particular symbol for historic=ruins but it should be rendered with a default garmin poi.
See http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/wsvn/mkgmap/resources/styles/default/
points file:
historic=archaeological_site | historic=ruins [0x2c02 resolution 24]
Type 0x2c02 is a “Museum” poi
polygons:
historic=archaeological_site | historic=ruins [0x1e resolution 21]
Type 0x1e is rendered as “Park”
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.
Hello,
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 “generic routable maps are already installed”, 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 it’s possible with different maps purchased from Garmin? Or do I have to download an .exe file e.g. which contains all countries of Europe?
Thanks and kind regards
Stefan
Oh, ok… thanks for the hint. I checked the FAQ before posting, but somehow managed to overlook the answer…

No problem, perhaps I should improve the wording…
Lambertus, please update the TYP file 2000.typ (wrong product ID). I also updated the Lite styles, see your e-mail.
I’m sorry Minko, yes, I’ve 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 morning…
I understand 
Maybe can you give my access to your server so I can upload the styles myself?
Both map generation machines were unreachable yesterday due to a core router being overloaded (it had nothing to do with this project). The website was also not responding as a result to that. So if you’re wondering what happened, now you know.
Yes, I think that’s OK, although when I changed things so that the styles can be updated using a single ‘svn update’ command this won’t take much time anymore.
I’ve tried downloaded some tiles I selected but I don’t get any e-mails about them. This has been going on for two days now. And yes, I’ve checked my spams. This used to work flawlessly previously.
I’ve tried two different e-mail addresses to no avail (one of them being my gmail address which has worked OK previously in this respect).
Downloading directly works without a problem, though.
Thanks for reporting this problem. I’ve restarted the nullmailer daemon (the service that sends the emails) and it appears to work normally again. A lot of emails that were queued have now been sent. I think this was a result of the core-routers being overloaded as reported earlier:
Typ and styles are updated. I’m using ‘svn checkout’ now so that future updates are easier.
I’ll send you an email regarding server login, I have to talk to the server owner first.
As long as you update the styles automatically from http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/ then I only have to make sure they are up to date there, so no need for a user login on your server, right?
I see you uploaded the wrong typ file… 
The correct one is on http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/trunk/typ/osm%20generic/
Oeps, I’ve now replaced the ‘mapnik’ directory with the ‘osm_generic’… Thanks.
Another bug has been reported on the gps.nl forum:
http://forum.gps.nl/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=38751&p=321574#p321574
Because the OFM Lite and the OSM generic routable share the same img names this can lead to problems when sending both maps together (with the same tiles) to the GPS. Remedy: use unique names for the OFM Lite (eg 6344*.img instead of 6324*.img).
