I recently posted a problem that I came across to the OpenStreetMap help forum. Basically it seems like one-way streets tagged with “-1” are rendered in the incorrect direction. I don’t think this affects routing. More details are in my post on the help forum:
Any thoughts on what may be causing this problem? I’m happy to dive in further, just wanted to check here first to see if anyone could provide me with a pointer about where this may be occurring.
my english in not my first language. If you open http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ there is just one entry “Choose a predefined country”. You can select one under Africa and one under Europe, only last will show. Bug, or not? Would be nice if I can select multiples countries?
I too am unable to select multiple predefined countries from the drop down boxes.
The only way I can add to the initially preselected predefined country is by enabling manual tile selection and select further tiles individually or by dragging over several tiles.
I expected this to be the normal behaviour.
I am using an imac 10.10.2 and have tried firefox, chrome & safari.
I just tried this again. If I am very quick and click a country before the map has loaded then it will fail. If you have a slow connection then this might be happening to you.
This is a problem on your side unfortunately. Clearing the browser cache might fix this or you may need to wait a bit longer for the site to load properly.
Yes, that is the normal behaviour, there is no option to select multiple predefined countries.
Yes, multiple things are loaded asynchronously after the initial opening of the website. It is wise to wait a little when you’re on a slow connection (or when the website is slow).
The last update is still running and appears to stuck in a loop for over a week. I’ve killed it. Will update to the latest Mkgmap and restart the map update.
Edit:
A bit of digging revealed that the long runtime is caused by an error in the style file:
Error in style: Error: Unknown filter 'not-contained'
Could not open style default
From looking at the Mkgmap commit history I guess this is fixed by using the latest Mkgmap version.
I’m pretty new to openstreetmap and use Qlandkarte and Qmapshack on Ubuntu. After I downloaded the tiles for South Korea and opened the map in Qlandkarte I did not know which img file is my basemap. I tried one by one but always only saw one tile of South Korea and the rest was blank. Only with the help of #qlandkarte I learnt that I have to use one of the ovm_*.img files** and then zoom in far enough**. Only at scale <=10km the other tiles would start showing up (see http://postimg.org/image/eziodmnr5/ how it initially looks).
The much more knowledgeable guys in #qlandkarte pointed out that the archive I downloaded is missing a basemap. I thought I share that with you. Is it possible to add a basemap easily? And maybe it helps other novice users of qlandkarte/garmin.openstreetmap.nl.
Here an excerpt of the conversation in #qlandkarte:
21:16] For me this is just a malformed map
[21:18] I wonder, because that site is well known, but probably they focus more on ready made gmapsupp
[21:18] The ready-made gmapsupp contains a valid basemap.
[21:21] http://osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic/30-01-2015/b7726d353fe4b19c7e10c7b28bf91e7d/
[21:21] There’s a zip file with tiles
[21:23] ok, maybe someone should tell them, that a simple basemap is missing
[21:23] btw the basemap is not part of the gmapsup
[21:24] but your command creates a simple one from the bounding box
[21:33] usually it’s fine if the basemap contains the bounding box and a box for each tile
[21:33] these boxes are used to select tiles to be combined into a gmapsupp
[21:34] but since the new devices this is not done very often anymore
[21:35] thus a bounding box will do
Thanks for reporting Marty. There should be a basemap (23442000.img) inside of the osm_generic_tiles.zip but it is missing. Also the *_mdr.img is missing, so I’m afraid that something went wrong in the generating process. The mapsource exe version does contain those files, but I’m not sure if you can open this on your system.
Lambertus, can you check why the osm_generic_tiles.zip dont contain those basemap and index files anymore?
The commandline for the zip compilation was not complete (probably has been this way for a long time). Should be fixed now for any new country map that is being generated (not for all those already existing country maps!).
I bought a Garmin Edge Touring in California. I am able to download the cycle map for California and everything seems to work. But when I download the cycle map for France I don’t get any POIs and am having trouble even seeing the map. Can someone help me please?
Address search is not working at all with any maps from garmin.openstreetmap.nl on Garmin Nuvi 2595LMT.
With the same SD card / same map file plugged into a Garmin Nuvi 3790LMT the address search works normally (but the menus are totally different)
I raised this this issue on help.openstreetmap.org and one other person reported same issue with another model: Nuvi 2555LMT.
I tried with different maps, same thing. The map is displayed correctly but address search does not find anything, not even the city or country. For instance I have the map of Switzerland activated, I enter part of the street name, and the autocomplete proposes the correct full name of the street, but then it says it cannot find it. Then I start entering Switzerland in the “Look in…” field, it autocompletes “Switzerland” and then it says “Sorry, we could not find Switzerland”.
If I manually zoom on the map to the address I am looking for, I see it, I can put my finger and set the map location as a destination and it will take me there.
Obviously this is not something I want to do when driving on the highway.
I have the latest software updates, but it does not make a difference anyway.
The device works normally with the Garmin pre-loaded North America map.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Looks like a particular issue of this nuvi25xx, given the fact that the same SD card and map work on another nüvi.
I’m afraid Garmin won’t listen because they dont support 3rd party OSM map makers like the mkgmap generated maps.
You could try to check if there is a faulty map or another error on your device with Javawa Device manager.
Interesting, I don’t think there is a search problem for this model with maps generated by cgpsmapper, which we use here with NZOpenGPS. This makes me think there is a problem with the compiler.
Hi all, Nice work here! I have a question as a new user of OSM’s. I tried to enter my city/town which is “Plains Pa 18705” . Specifically my home address which is Maffett st. Plains Pa don’t come up and the only Maffett st that comes up is in Wilkes-Barre Pa which is my neighboring city. That’s 2 streets with the same name within 6 miles. Is there something I can do to help map this into a future version? Just curious to the process. I have started mapping some streets here in town with iD OpenStreetMap editor.
