Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Here you can find the OFM style
Abandoned railways are rendered (not routable though) as well as bridge=* (only if it is accompanied by a highway=* or railway=* tag).
So, in the new situation with demolished:bridge=yes and railway=dismantled it will not be visible anymore.

Greetings. A big thank-you for these maps, I’ve been using them successfully for years.

I would like to create a single Garmin img map made from tiles along a single 4000km route (for a race). I presume this is possible using all the tools in the OSM toolchain. I am worried that trying to do it myself would be too difficult and I would find out mid-race that I had done something wrong.

My question: is it possible to replicate the exact script used by garmin.openstreetmap.nl (same software versions, same command line options, same style files, etc.) while just changing the input tiles or “input polygon” or whatever the correct input format is?

Thanks!

I see no need to create the tiles on your own. When you enable “manual tile selecion” you can chose the tiles along your route and they are
combined to one map for you.

Well, I was hoping to squeeze the map onto my Edge 520 which only has about 50Mb available for maps. The only way to do this would be to make the tiles along the route only a few square kms each. The default tiles offered by garmin.openstreetmap.nl are far too big.

In that case you’ll have to generate your own map with http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/
It has a steep learning curve but it is possible to do this (well, 50 mb for 4000 km long route…I doubt if it will fit).

Maybe you can check out these maps, compiled for the Garmin Fenix watches, they are much smaller:

Ok, I will try.

This is why I asked if I could copy the method used by garmin.openstreetmap.nl, so I didn’t have to learn it all myself.

Yes, one probably will not. But maybe I can make two or three maps that I can swap in/out, rather than 10 or 20.

I think this map service is exactly what you are looking for:
https://extract.bbbike.org/extract.html

You can draw a custom polygon and request a Garmin map for that area:

I hope I’m posting in the correct place. I’ve searched around the site and haven’t found my answer.

I have downloaded a file called openfietsmap_lite_gmappsupp.zip. When I try to unzip it, it creates a file called openfietsmap_lite_gmappsupp.zip.cpgz. If I attempt to unzip that file it creates a copy of openfietsmap_lite_gmappsupp.zip.

I’m on an up to date Macbook Pro

What am I doing wrong?

That’s a quirky thing to happen and I found this explanation.

nevw - thank you. I downloaded using a different browser and was successful (Safari worked, Firefox did not).

I now have the map on my Edge Touring and it shows up as “Enabled” but the map does not display.

Any ideas?

Make sure no other maps are enabled except for the basemap.
And you can check for errors with Javawa Device Manager.

Thanks ligfietser.

I did disable the other map that is on there. At present the Basemap is enabled and the freshly downloaded map is enabled.

I’ve run it through JaVaWa. It does not show any problems but when I go to “Manage Maps” the maps are displayed but if I click on one a message is displayed “Out of Bounds Exception”.

I have also called Garmin support but they will not help me because the OSM map was not purchased from Garmin.

I’m about to leave on my trip. If anyone can help, please do.

Now I can see the UK map. I disabled basemap, then enabled basemap, disabled my UK map, enabled my UK map. It would seem I didn’t do anything other than flip disable/enamble switches but it did the trick.

garmin.openstreetmap.nl sends no email when requesting my own map

After creating my own map with http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl I get a new window with the message, that I will receive 2 mails with the links to the status an the download adress of the map. But now I did not receive any email, like in former times. Of course my account is correct and ready to receive emails.

I just tried it and got both emails as usual. Did you check the junk mail folder?

Yes, of course. I’m not a beginner. I get my maps in this way since some years.
I tried it yesterday in the evening, today in the early morning and some minutes ago, I tried 2 browsers Firefox and Chromium (both on Ubuntu), and I tried 2 different emails on different domains. Just like all the times before.

Please send an email to owner of that site, Lambertus at osm @ na1400 dot info
Maybe he can solve this problem.

Hiya, I successfully downloaded and unzipped a gmapsupp image to a folder named “Garmin” on the micro-SD card of my Garmin Drive, hoping to use it for some overseas travel (starting tomorrow!), but when I try to change maps on the device, the new map doesn’t seem to be listed and the device still only has detailed data for my home region.

Am I missing a step or is the gmapsupp image not compatible with Garmin Drive?

One some garmin devices this folder is named Map instead of Garmin?
