Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Yes, this is what I mentioned indirectly with USB drive and putting the .img file into the Garmin folder on that drive. A Garmin device is (more or less) nothing else than a USB storage for BaseCamp.

However, if I remove the device (or USB) from the PC, I will loose access to the .img map.

This is one of the reasons I want to actually install the .img file into BaseCamp. The website garmin.openstreetmap.nl allows me to download not only the .img file, but also the installer exe to add the map to BaseCamp.

This is what I miss on bbbike.com. This site, is focussed only on devices and this .img files.

Grokit, a workaround is to drag and drop the gmapsupp.img onto the osmcombiner tool. It can make an installable map for Basecamp. The only drawback is that the img doesn’t contain the tiles for the overview map, you need to zoom in a little bit more until you will see the map.

Ah, cool. I will try that.
Thanks for the pointer! :slight_smile:

Sure, but the speed is not the same, and the storage space in the devices is limited and maybe not big enough for storing all the maps you want.

It also works from a virtual drive: http://www.javawa.nl/virtualdevice.html :slight_smile:

Maybe the logjam is clearing - the number of requests is finally decreasing, now down to ~1500 requests and 6.5 days although still only loaded on 1 server.

I’m try now a few day’s to download the map Germany.
The map is 1,5GB.

Normally it takes about 5 minutes. Now the browser say’s 9 hours or more.
So i did try one time to download the map only when youre almost done you get the messege the server

Download canceld The server closed the connection

When i look at the server stats
osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 0 requests (~0 days), status = OK
osm2.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 2501 requests (~10.4 days), status = OK

One server is doing nothing and the other is very busy?

Does anyone know if the problem is likely to be resolved soon? The queue on 2/6/17 is enormous.
If not, can anyone recommend an alternative site?

THAT is a rather good tip, Dankjewel :wink:

For the rest I came here to check what was going on :wink: the queue seemed to have become a lot shorter very fast but I think my request has been lost.

I am on the road soon and have what i need with the state tiles.

Maybe it is a good idea to make a different selection for the Americas as ppl travel over state borders a lot and if you are in texas getting the texas map is fine but if you are up the east coast you need to get a lot of little states with a lot of overlap in between them.

If needed I can try to make some sane area selections. Both in terms of travel and file size.

I hope Lambertus is fine.

I selected two sets a couple of days ago and glad for these maps. One was for the USA state of Maine and the other larger for a god portion of the USA east coast.

I got an email confirming receipt and providing the queue time. Both were finished about 10 hours ago but I haven’t received a download link so far.

Mate, the site has been near dead for over a year. Do yourself a favour and try another provider

Thanks for the heads up Nevw.

I was interested in these maps to get the Mapsource installer. My attempts at using the other available OSM maps and the various apps have failed. Getting them on my SD card is fine and the GPS is doing a decent job of recalculating.

I agree on the great tip to use javawa, Dankjewel! Works fast and great.

Thanks,
Glenn

If you are looking for another selection for the US try http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2017-06-01/
No Mapsource/Basecamp installer though…

Thanks

Hello. I have garmin nüvi 40 navigator. Please, provide up-to-date build of Estonia map. This site http://gis-lab.info says to ask for the map update on this forum. Thank you.

glassMonk, that is something you search for and download yourself.

The site referred to is likely this on in particular http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
Choose your predefined country under Europe>Estonia
There is a manual to guide you and if you find that you don’t get a map in a few days, try another provider.

Here are sites that produce Garmin suitable maps…

Thank you. It looks like it is exactly, what i’ve been searching for.

Hi,
there is a problem with a title. It is the one in Indonesia, located in southeast Borneo/Kalimantan (Samarinda/Balikpapan) and goes to northwest Sulawesi (Palu/Majene). I had downloaded the mapset in April. When I got to the area, all scales smaller than 8km are blank and no navigation is possible. If I’m outside of this title, everything works fine. I thought, maybe something went wrong with the download or the conversion and gave it a 2nd try yesterday. The map creation finished within 5 minutes, but when I uploaded it to my device, the same problem occurred. Is there a chance, that this will get fixed, or do I have to switch over to Google for this area?
Greetings,

Looking at the latest generic new style map for Indonesia, I dont see anything wrong with this tile.
Are you sure you don’t have multiple maps on your device with the same tile number?
