Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Thank you everyone for the help. It appears that, per Beddhist, ā€˜shortest distanceā€™ instead of ā€˜fastest routeā€™ was the culprit.

Iā€™m glad the cause has been found. :slight_smile:

I tracked down what caused the tile of Cleveland did not process. I couldnt download your o5m files but with a small extract from Cleveland I was able to reproduce it.

If I remove -ea it will process normally (thats what I always do).
With -ea, mkgmap couldnt compile the tile.
If I use --ignore-turn-restrictions mkgmap will process the tile, so the bug was in one of the turn-restrictions.

I found out that the problem was this relation http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3490966
My style didnt seem to handle the type=restriction:motorcar very well so I changed the code (for a bike map I want to ignore this restriction, but somehow mkgmap crashed on this). I dont know if itā€™s a bug in mkgmap or in my styles but I think it will pass the next update without errors.

Thanks Ligfietser,

The file access forbidden was a dumb permission problem.

I remember -ea was once necessary to prevent Mkgmap generating broken maps but apparently this is no longer so. If the next update is still giving problems then Iā€™ll remove this option.

There is still a line missing in the typ file for generic_new: https://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/trunk/typ/world/2000.txt

Can you add the following before line 2188?:

[_line]

Iā€™ve added _line, thanks for noticing it.

You can ignore those errors :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Great.

New update running :slight_smile:

The problem with the OFM-lite style seems to be resolved, Cleveland looks normal again.

The generic map still has red-tiles, a better work-around is now implemented and a new version should come online ~tomorrow. A report for Splitter is sent to the Mkgmap mailinglist.

OFM doesnā€™t have those red tiles anymore, but I do see a lot of red tiles in the generic map. I notice the tiles in the ocean are not matched together (because you use --no-trim=true). Any reason for this to use --no-trim? Maybe it helps to solve the splitter problem to leave this parameter out (the generic new map is fine).

Well, I thought the -no-trim option should prevent this behavior instead of provoking it. :wink:

But Iā€™ll try it for the next update (after the one thatā€™s currently running).

I never use --no-trim because it makes gaps in the ocean, so I guess itā€™s better to leave it out :wink:
If I search on the mkgmap dev list, I find this comment from Gerd:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.mkgmap.devel/13701

The problem with the red-squares is solved, also for the generic map. :slight_smile: The script now expects at least 2 tiles from Splitter on each subsplit and when just one new tile is found it will simply render this without further tests. This is a solid work-around that even works when Splitter eventually gets fixed.

Next up: reducing the number of map variants (Windows, gmapsupp, gmapi, tiles) to reduce the CPU load. Especially the NSIS installer for Windows uses a lot of CPU cycles. Ligfietserā€™s OFM map shows that itā€™s possible to combine a small installer with the tiles in a single zip-file, resulting in the need for only one file for both Windows as Linux.

Edit 22:00 CET:
Iā€™m guessing about 40 tot 50 people are downloading at the same time from the country server, the harddisk is maxxed-out and 200+ MBit/s is pumped out the ethernet portā€¦ :sunglasses: :smiley:

Why has my Norton Anti-Virus software blocked this website as a ā€œknown maliciousā€ website, as of this morning?

I think it is a false positive, these things happen. You can check yourself by testing the website using online virusscanners like http://www.virustotal.com

Bodee, please also report it at https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/

Ligfietser, I have a first test map that includes a small installer in the _tiles.zip. BaseCamp shows the map alright. :slight_smile:

Only difference is that this installer does not move+install the map in \Garmin\maps but simply in the directory where you unpacked the zip file. Do you think this a problem for end-users?

I know the tiles are just a random selection, this test is purely about the _tiles.zip file and the small install.exe

I understand this new approach takes a little more effort for the user than just click on the exe installer and let the installer do the job.
As long as we give them good instructions about the changes (perhaps in the wiki?) I dont think its a problem?

The only big difference is that the users need to do an extra step,

  1. unpack it to the location where you want to put the map
  2. look for the install.exe file and execute this

BTW another problem, the install.exe might be detected as false positive by some scanners :confused:

And there was much yayness \o/ :slight_smile:

Hi,

newbee question:
How can I give the maps in BaseCamp meaningful names?

I composed two maps for two trips. Now I get the osm_generic_new_gmapsuppā€¦exe file, I use the Windows Version and execute it. After that I have one map in my basecamp. But now I want to install a second map of a different Region. How can I do this having meaningful names in the Basecamp Dropdown box???

I also installed the map on my Germin device copying the map to a SD Card and rename the .img file, this works fine.

With best regards

Gerhard

PS: Want end up with the tracks of all my trips and having all maps used for that trips in basecamp

You can rename the maps with JaVaWa GMTK: http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html

I noticed that this landuse=reservoir was not showing on my oregon 300 gps it is showing in basecamp.

generic routable new 13-06-2014 greece

The other thing, in basecamp a lot of the islands in Greece are rendered with hatching, If i look at the data in the editor there is not anything defined.
So for instance next to the reservoir there is ā€œnothingā€ while the whole of Rhodes is hatched, including the reservoir.

And something else that i noticed while walking around in the old city of Rhodes with my gps is that those streets are rendered as very thin white lines against a light background on even the maximum zoom in level. Making it almost impossible to see the roads inside the old town.
