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?
It looks like the queue of garmin.openstreetmap.nl is broken:
“osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 1110 requests (~4.6 days), status = OK
osm2.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 2 requests (~0 days), status = OK
sn21.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 1 requests (~0 days), status = OK”
Or is the load balancing between the map download requests broken?
I’ve also noticed it’s not possible to download immediately maps from Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany. They all are queued.
Looks like something is broken. The only one who can fix this is Lambertus but he has not been on this forum for years, so better drop him an email.
hi
i m trying to download Canada map but when i Choose a predefined country ans select Canada from drop down box
no tile is selected and i didn’t get any map
please help me how to download for Canada
thanks
You can enable manual selection, that still seems to work.
You cannot select Canada because it is too big to generate as single img file. You can only select one of the provinces or select the tiles manually.
Thanks
Thanks
Hi,
Some weeks ago I downloaded “Generic Routable” and "Generic Routable(new style) maps covering Finland area for my Edge 810. Downloading and “installing” was all ok but only old style map was shown on my devices screen. I was able to select new style map on my device but it only showed white screen on my area? When I scaled screen much further it showed some tiles on Finland but only some. Older New style map version from 2017 is working fine. What could be wrong? Is it about the new style map version itself or about the device? Hard to believe it could be about the device because older version is working just fine. Thanks in advance.
Probably its the problem, that all the downloaded maps have the same FID (File Identifikation). Use gmaptool to change the FID of some maps so every map has a distinct FID
Thanks for your quick answer. Do you mean by maps the old and new version or tiles included in the new version?
Anyhow I downloaded newest version of “new style” map and its working again. Two or three previous version didnt work.
I noticed that every two weeks or so the map shows a new date maybe an up date.
What I would like to know is it really updated? so often?, maybe for places in Europe you up date them every six months or once a year?
Great site btw.
No tricks. If the date says August 6th (like it does as of this post), then any map data you download will be based on OSM data from August 6th.
Especially in Europe where there are a significant number of contributors constantly making lots of changes, updating once or twice a year would be far too slow.
I’ve downloaded openstreet map for Germany and Switzerland, but I’ve trouble searching for hotels. When I search for the word “Hotel”, it only show one hotel, Hotelkam. I tried to search for Munich Airport but it is not in the list. Please help. My GPS is Nuvi 57LM.
How does the search function work for Openstreetmap?
Thanks for that info, even more proof that this is a great site., I was also pleased that the maps where much better than Garmin’s own maps.
There seems to be a problem with the Luxembourg map. I downloaded and installed the gmapsupp.img file on to my Garmin Oregon. Only part of the map displays. I think it might be just the top, left tile. I tried a second time but manually selecting the tiles and a couple extra adjoining tiles from Germany and France. I got exactly the same result.
I don’t see any issue with that map. Please check if you have installed other OSM maps on your device, they can cause this issue.
Yes, I had 10 other map files on the card. I deleted all the ones I no longer need and tried again. Now working perfectly. Many thanks.
