Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

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.

Any problem with the server? I tried already twice to generate maps, but the server is thowing error in the buildlog.txt.
Cheers, Marc

Are there any instruction on how to install on mac?

I downloaded this version: “The osm_generic_macosx.zip is the map installer for BaseCamp on the Mac OSX platform”

That’s a directory of files but not one of them seems to be an ‘installer’, so I’m not sure what to do next. I’m happy to edit the wiki instructions if I can get some help here

I dont have any knowledge of Macs and I dont know if you understand Dutch, but maybe this helps

Thanks - this helped me work out the trick was not to use this software but to install the full Garmin suite, include the Mapmanager

Hello,

I use the service for the first time 2 weeks ago. I do often update the map on OSM. Today I see, when I will download the map from Germany, I get the same version from 11-09-2018.
**
My question is: how often the downloads get updated?**

Kind Regards,
Navajoa

There seems to be a problem with the server: yesterday I chose to download the new style map for Thailand, but I only got the default map.

Today, first it would not load the new style map on the web page, showing “Loading data, please wait”. After refreshing the screen a couple of times the online map loaded, then it took over 5 mins after choosing the country before it gave me the link - but it’s the same I already have.

Thanks,
Peter.

It gets even stranger: I reset my selection, then chose a subset of Thailand (manually). It then sat there for a few minutes “Checking map”, then gave me the link to the entire map for Thailand, new style. I think something needs to be reset.

Hi guys.

I’ve an old GARMIN ZUMO 220 used in the past with my motorcycle (now I’m using a newer Zumo 395).

Just for fun yesterday I tried to use it with OSM maps downloaded from garmin.openstreetmap.nl and they looks to be fine. I tried Italy and Iran

But I’ve a problem with address search.
I click on “Where Go”, I enter the City (ok, it works fine) and now I should enter the street address but it doesn’t work.

  1. not all street address are coded (more or less about 70%) (Italy map).

  2. Device find a street address only if I enter the initial string
    Example: I need to find “via gianbattista”
    If I enter “via gian” it finds all occurencies starting with “via gian*”
    If I enter “gianba” it finds nothing

  3. If I enter nothing at all and I click on “DONE”, device show me all street addresses , and this is good !

  4. with non latin contries (i.e. IRAN), address are showed as “??é?” (yes, Zumo 220 is not UNICODE…)

Some idea for (1) and (2) ??

Obvioulsy with original Garmin map , partial address search works very fine.

The program mkgmap which is used to create the maps allows this. Maybe the maps are created without the option --split-name-index
and --road-name-config. Both would make this work.

If that is the case it has to go to Lambertus, who doesn’t read this forum any more. Try emailing him.

On http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ I have tried selecting tiles by all the methods, for example for Malta. The selected tiles go dark blue. However, nothing changes to the ‘Make a selection first’ message and there is no obvious alternative place on the webpage to tick or click to request or download files.
Help.

This site seems down for several weeks now. Please report all issues to Lambertus (osm at na1400 dot info) or try another map provider.

Actually, you need to be patient, it takes a long time (> 5 mins) for the map check, but selecting Malta I eventually got a box to enter my email. But, you have to carefully check the link you get for a direct d/l, as I have gotten links for the wrong type of map. See above.

Kind regards,
Peter.

I have emailed Lambertus, but so far he has not replied. The web site is now down with the message “Resource limit reached.” :frowning:

Hi to everyone
I’m new on maps

I have updated from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ maps of Italy on a Garmin Nuvi 1440 but I have a problem with the names of Sardinian places …
I saw that names are written with the syntax “name in Sardinian / name in Italian” that are considered together in the search …
the problem is that nobody knows the names in Sardinian if not those who live in the immediate vicinity and therefore the research is strongly penalized …
the thing can be solved by eliminating the name in Sardinian that nobody uses … or inverting in “name in Italian / name in Sardinian”
someone suggested me to ask that the map for Garmin be made using the value of “name: it” to give precedence to the Italian names …
I do not know if for my incapacity, I could not find how to set the variable “name” nor 'how to interact with them … do you know any solution? thank you

Piero

Hi Piero,

you cannot select a name in the downloadable maps but you can compile your own maps with mkgmap. This allows to use name:it in preference to name with an option like --name-tag-list=name:it,int_name,name
