Tried the tiles.zip, instead of downloading the img’s. Didn’t work (same error). Updated the mkgmap in OSM by simply replacing the jar, that seems to have solved the issue. I have a merged IMG now. Will check this weekend if it actually works, but at least I got no errors or warnings.
Btw: Yes, I can use the map selection feature of garmin.osm, but: it’s easier to just download the countries I want, instead of selecting an area on the map (it’s fidly and I’m bound to be missing some border piece or another of a country whenever I’m in that country). Also, downloading pre-compiled maps lessens the load on the OSM servers. But I have tested it, and it does work, so it’s a viable alternative.
Would be great if garmin.osm also had other precompiled mapsets, for example for full europe, west-europe and east-europe.
It seems the current version of OSM Combiner (1.7) cannot deal with the latest generated img’s anymore.
If the combining tool fails, please update the mkgmap version in the install directory with mkgmap-r3650 or later (http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html).
Hello,
Unfortunately the new OSM Combiner 1.8 did not solve the problem for me.
I dowloaded a fresh set of osm_generic_tiles.zip files for the Netherlands, Belgium and France and tried to combine them with OSM combiner 1.8 but consistently get an error message (see below). All steps up to “Start” work, the final step fails and gives the error message.
I use MacOS 10.11.3 with the latest Java installed and allocated 5gb of memory to Java, disk space is plenty.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Er is een fout opgetreden. Controleer onderstaande log.
I just installed Java 8. But what I did find out in the mean time is that the MacOS keeps loading version 6 as well. Probably that is not what OSM Combiner likes.
Problem is that I still need Java 6 for Photoshop to function (really? yes, really! Adobe and Apple are not good friends I guess). But even aside from that, I could not get Java 6 removed. Thursday I have a day off and will experiment some more. Unless someone here has a better understanding of what is going on.
I’ll keep you posted.
Apparently installing Java 8 on a Mac that has Java 6 installed does not automatically replace 6 with 8.
The solution is to open terminal and run:
export PATH=/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH
Then log out and back in. OSM Combiner is then directed to use Java 8. And the good thing is that Photoshop runs simultaneously using Java 6, no need to switch back to Java 6 manually.
NOTE: If you need Java 6 on a Mac, please make sure you use the Java 6 from the Apple site. I understand that that is a version of Java with all internet connection possibilities disabled for security reasons, making it perfectly safe to use.
I have got also a problem with Combiner. I,ve got version 1.8 and installed Java 8. Downloaded a few maps and I like to build Benelux, North Europe and South Europe.
Started with the smalles amount of data, Benelux. But still get these error messages.
These messages are different when I change some settings, such as the memory from Java in the rename field of Combiner.
What can I do to make it work?
These are de specs of my computer.
I am not that good with computers, but my endurance is endless. I,m am a very curios person and I want to now en learn it all.
And it is practical to use only the maps you need in your device, so I want to split Europe in different sections.
So, do I have a hardware problem ore software?
Your pc seems ok to do the job. It should handle the Benelux fine with 2000 MB. For whole Europe you need more, 4000MB.
Try it first without the gmapsupp option. You can always send tiles with Basecamp to your gps and the size of a gmapsupp file should not exceed 4 gb anyway. I dont know why you want to use OSM combiner to make gmapsupp’s. It is mainly intended to install maps on your computer.
I don,t, I don,t activate this option. Intention is indeed to make maps for the computer and later send the maps I need to the GPS.
I use by the download the OSM_generic_tiles files and did that all together, so the overlap maps should have the same number.
I,ll keep on trying, but still getting these error reports.
I did another attempt, made some changes. First I changed the location of the map. Combiner made a map on C:\users\leond\Desktop\OSMcombi.
Made a new map on D\Garmin\OSMcombi. This because there is more free space here.
Select de zip.files for Benelux, the extraction went well.
Then I rename the family name, named it Benelux, did not checked gmapsubb option and set the javageheugen on 2000MB
And then I got this message:
I thought that there is no limitation to an empty map on this location. It looks like there is.
