routing around Boston Massachusetts gave me a remarkable result.
A bunch of ppl have been busy trying to get a bicycle route up and have partially succeeded, northern strand community trail. http://www.biketothesea.com/
On osm.org the trail has been drawn and access is allowed for foot and bicycle.
However basecamp with a just freshly generated map refuses to route over the trail, not with any of the walking or bicycle options.
spot where I tried to route http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.43040/-71.04287
it is an old train track and i did say partially succeeded
Still I think there is no setting on osm.org that would make basecamp not route over that trail, yet it does not… scratch that I think I just found the issue, there are no nodes on the intersection:rolleyes:
Well, the reported waits are not always accurate, unless I don’t understand how to interpret the information. I requested a “custom” map of Alaska the other day and it was ready in a few minutes despite the fact that the wait specified on the website was about 3 days. A while ago I made a similar request and had to wait a couple of days for it.
What do those numbers mean? Is it true that a request for a “Country” has a shorter wait than for a state?
“US state” = “Country”. If you select a state and don’t change any tile selections, it will run in the country queue and will normally be quite fast. If you change the tile selection from what is automatically selected to cover the state, it runs in the custom queue.
The delay times are based on an estimate of 6 minutes/map. The last time I watched my request move through the queue, it was taking 2 minutes/map so you could divide the estimate by 3 now to get the “real” delay.
I just downloaded the latest map for Denmark (Generic Routable New Style), and noticed, that paths around where I live are now only rendered as ‘line’ (barely visible, and only gives the text ‘line’ when I mark it on my GPS).
Some other tracks are rendered just fine as tracks…
I really can’t see why one type is rendered while another one isn’t… the paths that are rendered fine are tagged as highway=foot and foot=designated or highway=path or just highway=path - http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/146487806 (connects to another cycletrack that isn’t rendered)
A track that isn’t rendered correctly is tagged like this: highway=path, foot=designated, bicycle=desgnated, foot=designated - http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/127223911
Another track that isn’t rendered correctly: highway=cyckletrack, foot=yes - http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/195057632
As I understand it ‘designated’ basically means the same as yes… but what I don’t understand at all is why the cycletrack and the tracks with foot/bicycle=designated aren’t rendered correctly.
Will try out the old style now, but I am pretty sure it works fine there (… or at least it used to - given that I can’t remember which style I used when I could see the local paths).
Oh yeah - the area I am looking at is: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/55.91618/12.49536 - and yes, I am aware, that for a proper bicycle map, I should choose another style, but ‘it used to work’ and some tracks are shown fine.
Cheers and thanks for the good work!

EDIT: Quick update, I just grabbed the ‘old style’ DK-map and here the troublesome paths are rendered as ‘ally’ and the trails that were rendered correctly before are still rendered as ‘trail’. They can be navigated to when selecting bicycle in routing options… (… and ehr… when using car navgation too, which has caused confusion to some users…)

The tiles for Alaska haven’t been updated since June 13th. This used to happen more often, on the order of 7 days. Is there an abnormally high user load these days or is there some other issue that’s slowing this down? I’m not complaining, just asking.
I’m trying to download the “Routable Bicycle” map but it seems that the one tile I need in Northeast Ohio, United States is red and cannot be selected. Am I out of luck? Is there an older version I can grab? “Generic routable” has the missing tile, but I’d prefer the Bicycle map if possible. Thanks!
The updates are started manually and only maintained by one person (Lambertus). Some people think there is a whole company behind this site but its all voluntary work. No idea why this tile is missing or why the gps version of Russia is empty, you’ll have to wait for another update until Lambertus is back from holidays.
That is correct, Bill: there are two queues, one for countries (or states) and one for custom maps.
The time per map is just a rough average, some maps are quicker to build then others.
In the generic_new typ file a section start (one line) was missing and that caused Mkgmap to exit prematurely. This has now been fixed for new maps.
The gmapsupp.img is missing because the newer Mkgmap versions are stricter regarding the map description length (max. 50 characters). Maps with long country names exited prematurely with the result that the gmapsupp.img is missing. This has now been fixed by replacing the full country name by it’s ISO three-letter abbreviation.
I was on holiday the past two weeks and didn’t bring my laptop (and loved being without it :p).
For some (as of yet) unknown reason this tile didn’t compile or split. There is no older verison available so you’'re indeed out of luck if you really need the bicycle optimized map.
Once again I need advice. I downloaded the generic routable map for Italy using the instruction I got last time. My wife took it in our Garmin Nuvi to Italy where she travels in a car with the family. She complains, however, that the device cannot be used (she ended up buying a new GPS in a local store) because it always sends her to rural roads (sometimes even closed for car traffic) instead of freeways. It appears to me that there is a default setting for bikes. How can it be overwritten? I assume the generic maps can be optimized for cars.
Thanks!
