The Generic Routable style is a default mkgmap style which can be found here
Generic Routable (testing new style) and Routable Bicycle (Openfietsmap Lite) you can find here
I’m thrilled to announce that users of the new generic map (testing) should be able to search and use housenumbers with map version 11-03-2013 and later. This also applies to the Openfietsmap Lite version.
As a bonus I merged the BAG data in my local copy of the OSM planet file. The BAG contains all housenumbers for the Netherlands and is made available as a separate download by OSM user Gertjan Idema and with a bit of help from OSM user ligfietser.
Outside the Netherlands, searching housenumbers only works when available in the OSM data, so if housenumbers in your area aren’t mapped in OSM yet then quickly go outside and map them so everyone can enjoy house to house routing in the Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap 
Hi,
First thanks for the maps. They really make mapping my surroundings real fun and actually usefull.
However I noticed this weekend on a trip to Utrecht that a piece of the A2 is missing east of Vught. This was with the maps from 24-2. Today I downloaded the 11-3 map for the Netherlands, but it seems to have the same problem. Is this a known problem?
Jeroen,
They are probably busy with that road? I see it is rendered as a road under construction (new generic style).
On osm: construction = minor, highway = motorway.
If those constructions are finished, construction tags should be removed from OSM.
And I’ll have a look at the style files not to render those minor constructions.
Here is a reply to a previous post on the same issue:
I use MapSetToolKit. It is a simple tool to use for your purpose. It is a free download. What I did was to first come up with a Family ID for each of the countries (or in the case of larger countries, provinces). I used a system that assigns the following block of numbers:
1000-1999 = Africa
2001-2999 = Asia
3000-3999 = Europe
4000-4999 = North America
5000-5999 = (Spare)
6000-6999 = Oceania
7000-7999 = South America
For North America, I use 4000-4399 for Canada and 4500-4999 for USA so that for a map of the state of Alabama has a family ID of 4505 as I simply assigned the states a number in alphabetical order in increments of 5, e.g.:
4500 North America USA
4505 North America USA AL ALABAMA
4510 North America USA AK ALASKA
4515 North America USA AS AMERICAN SAMOA
4520 North America USA AZ ARIZONA
Since the OSM generic maps from this site install with a Family ID of 2000. I never use 2000 for any maps. I install the maps into specific folders, for example, Australia goes into C:/Garmin/Maps/Oceania/Australia. After it is installed, I then run MapSetToolKit and select the map just installed into FamilyID 2000, click the edit button and change the Mapset name to OSM Australia, the registry name to OSM Australia and the family ID to my choice of 6050. I apply the changes and that is it!
Cheers,
Peter
Family ID in range 1 - 3000 is already used by commercial maps. Better use bigger values to avoid conflicts.
Are you still updating the traditional style?
I use these maps on my Oregon 550t and the new mapstyle hides alot of information (like abandoned railway beds) and they are important in an outdoor unit.
I hope the old stle has not been dropped yet
Yes, I’m still updating the original but it failed the last two updates. Please add feature requests for the new style sheet to this topic.
I’ve been discussing with ligfietser about the future of the generic map and how the new stylesheet fits into the picture. So far we agreed on the following:
- The original generic map will continue as a generic light map (no buildings, fewer landuses, small tiles) for those who either need small tiles (old GPS devices) or a very large area.
- The new generic map will become the normal generic map which looks good and has the most features and larger tiles.
- The OpenFietsMap Lite may be replaced by the full OpenFietsMap map.
Additionally we’re discussing adding altitude profiles to the generic and OpenFietsMap map by default with global coverage (starting with Europe and perhaps North America).
I’m interested in what all of you think of these ideas.
If you notice some features that are missing in the new style, please report it in this topic:
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=13257&p=6
It is correct that I removed abandoned railways from the new map because it was rendered as “path” and it shouldnt.
If the former track is now in use as a path, it must be added on osm as highway=path, footway, cycleway etc
If there is nothing, it should not render on the map as ‘highway’
I am thrilled as well Lambertus. Brilliant man who deserves enormous thanks from us freekies. I am English but live in France where many properties do not have numbers or street names. My road had ten houses with the same non address. Now all communes are having to give names to roads and numbers to properties for practical and emergency reasons. I have done all the roads in Chazelles, Charente and gradually adding the numbers. Mind you I do get some twitching curtains.
Ha! Yes, I know about that, it feels a bit funny taking notes while staring at houses looking for housenumbers knowing that the occupants and others are staring at you at the same time. Worse, I’ve once been chased off a trailer park by fat guys in trainers who didn’t like my inquisitiveness. Luckily I can cycle faster then they can run… 
Have fun!

Do you mean contour lines? If so, that would be great. Very useful for walking, cycling etc, with either the generic map or OpenFietsMap.
Yes 
Maybe make it possibe to install several mapsets?
We could think of using the ISO 3166 country code for each country mapset in the family ID.
For instance the FID for the generic map for the Netherlands will be 20528.
Suggestion for the Family name will be OSM_Generic(NLD), the series name (which is displayed in the map list in Mapsource) will be OSM_Generic(NLD_2013-03-17)? The new style generic will get 21xxx and the Family name OSM_Topo(NLD)?
For the custom mapsets maybe just OSM_Generic with a fixed FID?
See http://www.javawa.nl/mapids.html and let Javawa know if you know more map ID’'s.
My suggestion for using 20+iso country code for a unique generic map FID per country could only collide for an Antartica map 
and My Openfietsmap Light (FID=20010)
Hoi,
Ik ben een beetje confuus: wat is precies het vershil tussen de kaart op http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl
en de kaart op http://www.openfietsmap.nl?
Een van de verschillen is blijkbaar dat de opnefietsmap geen busstops bevat.
Waarom worden die niet meegenomen?
En gedurende welke stap in de map-making procedure worden die eruit gesloopt?
Hartelijke groet,
Peter
Sorry: didn’t notice in time that the language is english.
/P
OpenFietsMap Lite is great for cycling with older gps-es like Edge 705 (which is quite much used).
If this one is replaced by the full version it’s not available in a larger area version anymore I suppose?
That would really be pity.
Or will the old Europe version be refreshed?
@Peter - cyclist normally dont use buses so I skipped them 
@GRI the old Europe will be replaced in a few days - I have to finish the documentation on my website first with some pretty screenshots
I understand. But hey, I’m a hiker and apparently abusing your map 
How easy is it for me to modify your procedures to get them in again?
