Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

@Lambertus, looks there is something going wrong during the process

Can't open script "63240000.nsi"

And

Building Basecamp/RoadTrip installer
JaVaWa MapConverter CLI version 0.7

Error: basemap doesn't exist

This is only a secondary problem. Mkgmap fails to generate a gmapsupp.img and, because in the same step the .nsi script is generated, the subsequent attempt to generate the Windows Installer fails because the .nsi script is missing. So the root cause is something in Mkgmap, unfortunately the extra logging does not contain the Java stack trace. Looks like I need to include more into the logging then stdout, so I’ll explicitly add stdout and stderr as well.

Please keep posting the links to failed maps please! :slight_smile:

Still no luck:
http://sfs4.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic/19-05-2015/8e9490cf20fe7ebb69c82d10c51373f1/

The osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip files is there but 22 byte is not a very detailed map.

Same story:

Edit:
My two submitted requests where similar in content, and it seems that the machinery gave me to identical links to maps generated May 19th (likely generated on my earlier request).

Here is on more: Still The osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip files is there but 22 byte and still dates May 19th

Thanks! The better logging provides a clue to the problem this time:

Edit:
The directory “mapnik” is deprecated so that needs to be fixed. For now I worked around this by adding a symlink. This should be fixed now (on the sfs4 server).

Edit:
Yes, it looks like this problem is solved now. :slight_smile:

Thanks all for reporting/feedback and suggestions!

Success!

Thanks.

Dear Sirs,

My location was in Hong Kong and I download the file to use with my Garmin. But it was only show english language.

I would like to have a map with local language (Tradition or Simple Chinese are ok)

Would you tell how to select this option during create the map for download?

Thanks.

David, that is not possible, the maps are only available in English.

Thank you very much.

Dear Sir,

but how come I got local language when update the map such as link below?

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/22.6270/114.1212

Or your meaning is when extract to img file, the data only could be available in english?

Thank you very much.

(sorry as I am newbie and may be ask for foolish question)

You can compile them yourself with mkgmap or look for a map provider that makes them. I know there are OSM garmin maps in Japanese, but I dont know any maps in Chinese. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
Maybe ask and look around in the Chinese OSM community.

Dear David,

you asked me via Mail, if I can see Chinese words on Garmin. Sorry, I’m not using Garmin. I’m using Osmand on Android. This can display Chinese as well. You can select the language you prefere.

Thanks Lambertus,

error seems to be fixed! now I was able to create a new gmapsupp.img as intended.
Love your service!

Thank you so much.

I just d/l it and have draft read though. But as a end user, it seems to be too complicate for me to made it by myself.

It means I will swap back my Garmin 1000 back to Cateye speed checker…

Thank you. As I use it with bike, my android (mobile) can’t last for such long time… also, it seems too complicate for me to build it…

Sigh.

Thank you very much for your reply here once again.

The generation of Generic_new country map of Germany is failing:

http://sfs4.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic_new/03-06-2015/8ea91b024dce7cc4c7efdee5fa347d15/

and the France map is missing tiles:

http://sfs4.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/generic_new/03-06-2015/4752f64dae3877b5af524eb12e232a81/

In the current version of generic_new, there are “red” tiles near Strassbourg (France) and Schleswig (Norther Germany).

Hello, thanks for the great map generation service!

Unfortunately, the bug of not creating gmapsupp.img files has returned. I’ve tried creating generic routable, generic routable modern style, and generic routable maps starting with UK selected. In all three cases I’m getting groups of individual img files, but no gmapsupp.img file.

One map process was run last night, the other two this morning. Here are the map notices:
