Just following up on my post from a few week’s ago. Is this something you are able to change?
I don’t maintain my own stylesheet for Mkgmap because I really don’t have the time to do that, so I’m using the default stylesheet that comes with Mkgmap. Therefore I sent an email to the Mkgmap mailinglist to address this, but I admit that I haven’t been following it up properly.
If you have a patch to move the boundaries to a higher zoomlevel, then I can post that on the Mkgmap mailinglist.
Hi,
A quick note to say thanks!
Great work!
I just want to apologize, as i accidentally made a request for all of Canada. Where i should have just saved those IMG files for each tile, then i could have made my own garmin installer from it. I think the zoom would work fine.
Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel it, but it shoudn’t happen again.
Anyway, once the installer is loaded, i think it shoudn’t be much trouble to re-compile it with Inno Setup & mapsettoolkit.
Best,

BTW, im using the Openmtb.org style sheet, and it looks AWESOME!
You don’t need to apologize at all. If the server accepted your request then that’s just fine. The tile limit was built-in because there were too many people who requested either all of the world or most of it, which is a user case that is not targetted by this service. Ofcourse downloading your country should not be a problem (unless we’re talking about the USA, which is the exception to the rule).
Yes, it’s a very nice stylesheet. I’m planning to have a few stylesheets selectable.
Can you please setup a “predefined map” for “Australia & NZ”:
Maps:
* 63240003.img
* 63240006.img
* 63240007.img
* 63240008.img
* 63240009.img
* 63240010.img
* 63240011.img
* 63240012.img
* 63240013.img
* 63240018.img
* 63240019.img
* 63240020.img
Thanks
Hi,
the maps also work for Linux (with qlandkartegt software), but you have to unpack the
.exe first on a windows computer.
So maybe the img-Tiles could also be provided as an archive for linux (no .exe) ?
Thanks
Christian
Its possible to extract the files from the .exe on Linux using p7zip. You need to use the “7z” command, which is part of the p7zip-full package.
Though a standard zip file with the img tiles in would be easier and more convenient.
Great initiative,
tried to use Mkgmap, but with no succes it’s too hard for me.
but since google realesed mapmaker data added by the community, a lot of data where uploaded to OSM, and refreshing the servers data, will be a great thing. hope to see new fresh data soon
Do you say you’ve uploaded data from Google MapMaker to OSM? This is a huge violation of our policy that only your OWN data or public domain data or data that that has specifically been allowed to be imported in OSM is imported. You should remove the Google MapMaker data from OSM as soon as possible!
This denies the use of MapMaker data in OSM!
OK !!!
thats ok, i hade marked for delete the roads upladed, but i had kept on OSM, all what i had done before Myself on GMM, all the nights spent on GMM before i discovred OSM.
and what about the refreshed Data to generat Garmin rootable maps in http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php
i’ll love see what i hade done for my nighboorhood

Sorry that you had to delete the roads which you worked on so hard. But the license of GMM says that Google owns the roads that you worked on instead of yourself, so it really isn’t allowed to import GMM data that you created into OSM. Sad but true.
I have been on holiday so I haven’t had time to start working on improving the garmin maps again.
The maps are far better than the alternative I have and I would like to help fill in some of the blanks but I cant get the map to transfer to my GPS.
I am using only Mac computers and a Garmin Nuvi 265WT I have garmin Roadtrip, Garmin Mapinstall, Garmin Mapmanager and garmin POI Loader.
I downloaded two blocks that cover the Philippines and Hong Kong (I have homes in both places)
Garmin RoadTrip shows the Map on the Mac OK except the sea and land are all the same color.
When I use the Philippines Routable map from another source and use RoadTrip to transfer WayPoints it normally asks if I want to transfer the map but It does not ask when I am using the OSM World Routable map and does not send it to the GPS.
Even if I change the preferences to always transfer the map it just sends the waypoints but no map.
I am stuck. Can anyone suggest what to try?
Thanks
ok, everything done,
Now waiting everyday that you make the new OSM data avaible for download
while waiting i’ll try to learn how to do it my self.
(if you have any tutorial to make this happens, please share it)
Let the force be with you
Problem solved.
For the benefit of other Mac users here is what I did.
I double clicked the Garmin disk on the desktop to open it. Then opened the Garmin folder and there was a gmapsupp.img file so I changed the name to keep it as a backup and copied the downloaded gmapsupp.img file to replace it.
I then checked the GPS and the new map was there but not showing most of the details and roads were incomplete. I figured the map maybe too big for my little GPS so I downloaded only the Philippines block (The top is chopped off but that is not important to me). I then replaced the gmapsupp.img file again and checked.
The new map is there complete with all the details.
Many thanks
I tried to so something similar to Skywolf: I asked for two discontiguous map sets: part of California and all of Thailand. I downloaded this as a Garmin MapInstaller (OSM World Routable.gmapi) file. But, MapInstaller was unable to render a gmapsupp.img from this file.
I tried downloading the two maps separately, but MapInstaller would only install one of them. I tried renaming one of them, but that wouldn’t work either.
Is there some way to download two separate maps from Lambertus’ nice site and have MapInstaller install both of them?
The reason I want to do it this way is that I have other maps which I want to keep on the device (eTrex Vista HCx).
If you download two sets of maps with the same map product and family id’s then it’s no wonder that MapInstaller can’t make anything out of it. It’s the same with MapSource under Windows. I plan to make the product and family id’s configurable so that you can make sure that they are different when requesting different maps, but I haven’t had time to do that yet. So you have two options: use a tool to combine the downloaded maps yourself. Or request the California and Thailand tiles in the same request so that they will be combined by the server.
The problem is that when I requested the California and Thailand tiles in the same request MapInstaller was unable to generate the image file. It crashes every time. If I ask it to install either the California tiles only or the Thailand tiles only, it works, but crashes if I ask it to install both sets.
I’m having trouble using the Thailand tile. Although it displays (mostly) fine in Garmin RoadTrip on my Mac, Garmin MapInstall crashes before displaying the list of installed maps on the system.
Hello Lambertus,
I was wondering if you plan an update of your world map in the near future…
Thanks,
reinhold
Done.
I have no idea what causes the crashes, but please make sure you do not select red tiles if you plan to use the maps with MapInstaller or Garmin RoadTrip on Mac OSX. Please let me know if that helps.
The update is currently running. I hope to be able to upload it tomorrow.
Edit: Err no, I just realized that the current update is going to cause a lot of red tiles in Europe. I’m going to need some script changes before I can deploy a new update which will be next week hopefully.
