Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

The bug is caused by place=locality, 24000 nodes in that problematic tile alone, made the index crash.
So better avoid also the OFM Lite version of Spain until further notice.

More bugs have been found by Egbert:
When selecting a custom OFM Lite mapset, the map is generated without the typ file 2011.typ
Have to check if the custom generic maps with typ file have the same issue (checked, is fine)

The OFM Lite styles are now updated and the index bug hopefully corrected in a next update.

Thanks. I’ll check that later. I don’t have good internet connection this week.

Will do an svn update too when I check on the custom map server.

Lambertus, the OFM lite Version 29/10 has still the old buggy TYP file…

Sorry, I think I updated the wrong path on the server. Updated the styles now and stated a new update. I’ve also cleaned up some old test directories to prevent this confusion in the future.

Ligfietser, with the new style files and Mkgmap version r2337 I get:

Error in style: Error: (polygons:85): Stack size is 2
Could not open style ofm_lite

Probably caused by a “0” in line 84, didn’t know how it got there :roll_eyes:
http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/diff?spec=svn83&r=83&format=side&path=/trunk/styles/Openfietsmap+lite/polygons

It should work now with r83?

Yes, it seems to be working again. Will have to restart the update though…

Don’t worry, it’s not good cycling weather anyway :wink:
Have you fixed the issue of the custom maps without the type file too?

Custom openfietsmap_lite maps now have a type file as well.

Thanks, looks ok now, except the typ file should be updated as well: http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/trunk/typ/Openfietsmap+lite/

Can you perform an auotmatic svn update in your scripts next updates to the typ file too?

I could locally as well as on the other server(s) … if all directories names were consistently named, but that is part of the cleanup effort.

A problem has been reported that, using Chrome/Chromium (and perhaps Internet Explorer, but I did not check that), it was not possible to choose the OpenFietsMap lite map. This has been solved.

I used an onChange event in an HTML form element to detect when a user selected a map (Generic or Openfietsmap lite). This works in Firefox but aparently this event is not implemented in Chrome so now I’m using the onChange event on the individual HTML radiobutton input elements.

Have been using Garmin products since 2000 and contribute to OpenStreetMap and upgraded to Windows 8 10 days ago. Whilst I can download as usual maps tiles and install for MapSource as usual. The system does not like changes being made through Mapset Toolkit 1,77 to the name etc. If it accepts the change the map does not appear in MapSource. I find the only way is to use Mapset Toolkit to install the maps hte long way around then all goes well.

Palm Desktop doesn’t like Windows 8 so I have to use my XP verion to HotSync. Anybody found a solution?

Try JaVaWa’s GMTK tool to check for registry problems and repair installed maps.

First off, thank you Lambertus for your efforts. I bought a Garmin a few years ago, and I’ve been using your site ever since.

Recently, someone tagged the island I live on (Vancouver Island, http://osm.org/go/WDzgVj-) as place=island. The tagging’s fine, that isn’t the problem. The problem is that now when I generate a map from your site, the place=island layer seems to cover up some other items, like parks, golf courses, and cemeteries, so these don’t display. With the Mapnik TYP, I was able to edit it to either remove that layer or re-order it so it’s underneath, but I can’t do that with the default, no-TYP style, which I prefer. Would it be possible for you to change the settings so the place=island layer doesn’t cover up other items? Sorry, I’m not very familiar with the map generation process, so I really don’t know how involved this may be.

Thanks in advance
Andrew

I think there are two options, either remove place=island from the mkgmap polygon style (which seems plausible, because the shapes can be rendered with multipolygons now perfectly without this island tag) or leave it as it is and render the maps with a typ file (which can be customised like you have done). BTW, with a typ file editor you can edit the mapnik typ file and make the map appear as the map without a typ file by deleting the unwanted objects.

I have used the downloaded maps in Mapsource and now Basecamp for some time and have been very pleased. However the latest UK map download (02-12-2012) appears distorted in both Mapsource and Basecamp, the horizontal distances are shrunk and the whole map looks taller & thinner than it should be. The map looks OK on my Garmin Legend though!
I have not changed any setting in Mapsource or Basecamp and they both display the previous downloaded version OK.
Any thoughts about why this is happening?
Thanks
Ken

No idea why it happened, but you can try Ctrl-Alt-A in MapSource to reset the projection angle

Thanks for the reply. I used Ctrl-Alt-A in Mapsource and chose “let MapSource choose the projection angle” and restarted MapSource but there was no difference.
I then chose an angle of 50 degrees, when I restarted MapSource the map looked OK. I then started Basecamp and that looked OK as well.
I reset the MapSource angle to “let MapSource choose the projection angle” and it reset both MapSource and Basecamp to the thin display.
I then chose an angle of 85 degrees, both MapSource and Basecamp changed back to an acceptable view which does not look any different to the 50 degree angle?
I’m not sure what changing the angle does, why the 50 degree looks like the 85 degree, why the default looks so thin and why changing it in MapSource automatically affects Basecamp but it is much better so I guess that I will use it as it is :).
Thanks once again
Ken

PS A bit of searching showed that the projection angle change is written to the registry which is why changing it in MapSource also changes it in Basecamp.
