Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

It seems there are problems with the servers at the moment so the whole site is down. I will try to contact the administrator of the Wuppertal server to see what is going on.

Update: server maintenance

Dear Lambertus

I downloaded france, portugal, morocco, australia and it works very well on my GPS garmin montana 610

I downloaded 3 times at differents dates (february, march) NEPAL country and osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip doesnā€™t work on gps
osm_generic_macosx.zip works well on basecamp on my macintosh

I tried Enable manual tile selection and same problem with Nepal area

thanks

Hello!

Iā€™ve been using this service for a while and really enjoyed using is! Great tool for preparing our holidays as the maps are so detailed (Big thanks to all the OSM editors!)

Recently however I have encountered an annoying little problem: when I wanted to add a new Garmin-OSm mapset generated via the garmin.openstreetmap.nl site (new style), it overwrote a previous map set in my Garmin Basecamp installation. I luckily keep the installation files so I reinstalled the older map set and ā€¦ the newest one was removed! What am I doing wrong???

I have checked that the tiles are stored in a seperate folder using the Javawa GMTK tool and also make sure that the map IDā€™s and names are different.
I have noticed that it creates a directory named ā€œOSM generic routableā€ (which is empty).
Further info: Iā€™m running Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Any ideas to what Iā€™m doing wrong? Why is the installer deleting a previous map set (and just the one by the way!)

Regards,

You didnt do anything wrong, itā€™s a known issue. All the custom maps get one and the same ID (2000). GMTK tool cannot change the settings of the uninstaller, better remove this uninstaller manually. You can also use the gmap (Mac version) and use GMTK to install it. The advantage is that the gmap version does not need the windows register, simply remove it from it from your hard drive will uninstall the maps. You still have to change the name and ID with GMTK if you want to install multiple custom maps.

Hi!

I enjoy this service very much and use it very often. Thanks for that great job.
But why the two servers are so terrible unequal busy (40/1500 requests)?
And why my request always goes to the busier one?
A few weeks ago a request did not take longer than a very few hoursā€¦

Thanks ,
Robert

Hi Ligfietser! Hartelijk dank voor je antwoord :wink:

And now back to English for the rest of us :-0

OK, so I can stop stressing-out now! :wink: I have launched a new request for maps and will download the Mac version this time instead of the Windows version and try it out with GMTK. Will let you know how things work out as soon as Iā€™ve got the maps.
Just one thing: it used to work in the past (i.e. using the Windows installer package combined with GMTK) to install several different maps or did I just get lucky? (have currently 2 OSM mapsets installed in Basecamp, one of Cuba and one of South-Africa).

Iā€™m not sure but I think that works only for the preselected country maps. They get a unique Map ID and also separate uninstallers.

The server lately has been extra slow taking a couple of hours to download a 150 mb map.
Right now the servers are saying

I donā€™t think I have seen 9.4 days before.

Is there a problem because the other 2 servers are not there?

Well I guess I have my answer since there is no service period as I type this.

Hi

Your site does not work, do you know whatā€™s going on?

The following message appears:

Kind regardsSorry but this service is currently not available. Please come back after the weekendā€¦

Thanks

Hello, when downloading the map for Romania (routable or newstyle routable), part of the tiles donā€™t seem to be included. I tried to select the map from the pull down menu as wel as using manual selection of tiles from the world map, but every time the same tiles are missing. It does not seem to be caused by my GPS unit, however I have no way of checking the tiles that are not displayed are actually included/present in the files as I use the gmapsupp.img directly on the unit. Thanks and best regards.

You can check it with a tool called Javawa Device Manager

Hello, regarding the map of Romania (post 19-04-2017), I downloaded it once more as preselection and once as own selection, but central and eastern tiles (Bucharest, Constanta - every time the same tiles) are somehow not included in the download. Now I not only verified this on the device, but on the computer as well. I donā€™t see errors in the Pleiades log, nor when downloading. Best regards,

I dont see anything missing on the Romania new style map from 19-04. Maybe you should emtpy your cache (2x ctrl-G) in Basecamp or Mapsource or remove all other old maps on your device?

Last Friday (April 21) I got the e-Mail with the message ā€œYou successfully requested a Garmin mapā€,
and on Sunday morning (April 23) the current status of my request was ā€œā€¦ request ā€¦ not be found in the queue. Most likely the map is already generated and you received another email containing the url ā€¦, or you should receive that email shortly.ā€
However, NO such e-Mail with the URL for download came in up to date. WHAT IS WRONG ?
(I did never encounter similar difficulties in the past, and I did not change my Google mail account since)

Wanderer52, maybe you should wait a little longer or else, just make another request.

Looks like things are running very slow at the moment! can anyone tell me if it will take 6.6 days to get my maps? Im heading away last minute and could really do with the maps.

I donā€™t have a clue how much time it takes, but if you are in a hurry you can look for another provider, try https://extract.bbbike.org/

ref.: #2734 & 2753
Apparently, maps build by requests that entered the queue ordinarily on April 21 got lost: The message about reaching the end of the queue and of sending e-mails with the download-link was issued on Sunday morning - but these download links did never arrive.
Instead, I got the downloads for a later request (originating from April 24) making clear that we cannot blame the e-mail servers. Rather, something was wrong with osm2.pleiades on last Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

There are currently 2590 requests in the queueā€¦

There is clearly something stuck. Can anyone find the paper jam in this machine and reset? :slight_smile:
