OK thanks
Patiently been following the thread you provided on the mkgmap-dev list.
Does this (http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2009q4/005974.html) suggest changes are/have been made to the default style sheet you use? If yes, do you know when they will be in place. I’m a big promoter of OSM among my Garmin geocaching friends and encourage them to use it, but the thick purple lines are a real turnoff at the moment.
Sorry I’m not much use in ‘changing’ the style sheet as I don’t program - I just contribute to mapping on OSM.
No, I’ve been using the same Mkgmap version for a while now. I’ll upgrade to the latest version for the next update which would then also contain this patch.
I have read through a couple of pages in this thread, but did not seem to find an answer to the problem I have when trying to enter an address on my Oregon 300. I am asked to enter start State/Province, but what ever I enter, I always get the message that the search did not return any results. Anyone know what I should enter to get to enter the actual address?
Thanks for all of your great work. This is actually what I had been looking for the last 6 months. 
Unfortunately the server disk was once again full which has resulted in a number of failed map build requests. If you have received an email with a link to a webdirectory that does not exist then please re-submit your request. Sorry for the inconvenience, it seems like this update is attracting more requests then usual.
Have you found this post? http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=19248#p19248
Great, I’m sorry you had to search that long to find this 
It happened again. More then 500 map requests in the last 48 hours was a bit too much for the harddisk to handle… 
Just a quick question I am new to this. I updated the information for my neighborhood on the OSM Maps the new streets show fine they also show in the tile for the Garmin generation but when loaded on my device they are not there is there more I need to do? I added these streets in Battlement Mesa, Colorado

What do you mean exactly with that?
Where did you get the .img from?
I got the from http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php and when I zoom in on the tile where the streets are located they show on the map but when I generate the maps they do not show on my GPS all the streets around them are there just not the ones I added.
How area you doing that exactly? Where is the osm data coming from?
I think I see the problem. On the http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php site it says that the maps are based on 12-30-2009 which is before my update. Just got confused because they show in the tile.
Yes indeed. The Mapnic tiles which you see in the openstreetmap are rendered within ten minutes or less. So your edits show up almost immediately. But for the Garmin img’s the update is weekly. You have to wait until after next weekend to see your edits.
thanks. So I am doing it right then and will continue to contribute to the map
Another Question I have been generating the map for Colorado and even though I select all the tiles in the state most of the map is blank on my device. This causes a problem when I try to travel even 20 miles form home.
That’s a correct observation: Tiles 73240201, 73240203, 73240206, 73240207 and a lot of other tiles are missing but are somehow still included in the KML file that’s used for the website. Don’t know yet if this is a problem with Mkgmap (which was updated to the latest version) or with some other part of my toolchain… The missing tiles should be colored red.
If the new streets are visible on the OSM website, then it’s just a matter of waiting a couple of days until the changes feed through to Lambertus’ website.
Edit: sorry this is a late reply to an early post - please ignore
Will these tiles ever be available?
Yes, presumably with the next update. But there are no promises.
