Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

I’m presuming, though, that you got paid for the data centre relocations, unlike the volunteer running garmin.openstreetmap.nl. :slight_smile:

Being paid does not make you more clever or insightful.

I imagine that the volunteers have a strong desire to offer good service, just like good professionals do. I know for the things that I do as a volunteer I try to bring the same service-centric view to the table.

One advantage of being paid though is that you get lots of practice - in my case hundreds of projects over my working life. Things that I learned the hard way might be of benefit to volunteers who (and I don’t know their background) may not have the same level of experience in IT project management and IT service management. So if they want to act on my advice then that’s great. If they don’t, that’s great too!

Hello,

I downloaded the country “Georgia” for my Garmin DriveSmart 50, then put the file “gmapsupp.img” under “.System/map” of the navigation device.

It get’s recognized by the navigation, the map is graphically there, but the city/street search doesn’t work.

For example it finds “Kutaissi” but it doesn’t find the capital “Tiflis”, nor “Tblisi”! - Do I have to put in the names in Georgian?! - When I swipe to Georgia and zoom in the graphical map, I can select “Tiflis” and then I can also select it by tapping.

Do you know what’s wrong here and how to fix it?

Kind regrads,

Günther

I didn’t try but I think the name:en is used : Tbilisi

Hi everybody, i have garmin 345 device and i have install maps for greece and serbia succesfully but i have problem with navigation. For example start from amfissa(greece) and nis(serbia) the end. The suggested route is not fit with the main layer road. What can i do for that? If i start from graz to nis there is no problem

Hey I feel a bit dumb. I make selection and the website continues to say (Make a selection first). I try the generic new style. What do I do wrong?

The service seems to be broken (again).

The button to generate a map is missing

Hello,
I did not find any button to download the map, neither a place to write my email address…
Please help me.
Thx in advance.

If it’s broken I’d suggest downloading maps from somewhere else, such as those suggested at
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=746933#p746933 .

Hi.
I tried bbbike : https://download.bbbike.org/osm/ . Works fine for download but my Garmin states that the card is not unlocked. Garmin seems to block this cards. So i am looking for other free to download links.
Any ideas?

Thx

Hi.
Any idea when the http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ download link is back functioning?
Very good service, too bad it drops too often.

Hi
Please can you advise.
I have donated 15.00 euro and set up account,
I have selected maps for download.
can you tell me how to download gpx filres after selecting on map.
regards

What gpx files do you mean? Where do you create/find them?

by default all generated Garmin maps from OpenStreetMap data will use
the code page Unicode (UTF-8). However, some older devices don’t
support Unicode and some new devices have a broken DRM firmware (“can
not unlock map”). In this special case please use the latin1 style.

e.g.:
https://extract.bbbike.org/?format=garmin-osm-latin1.zip

I’ve tried multiple formats from BBBike and haven’t had any success yet but I’ll have another stab.

Is there a definitive answer to what the file should be called? I’ve seen both gmapbmap and gmapsupp in various instructions online. I actually have both on my device (edge 520).

gmapbmap.img is the Garmin base map containing only major roads and large cities. You should not delete this map (at least, if you have enough space on the device). gmapsupp.img is usually the name of the OpenStreetMap based map.

Hello all… I don’t understand why the link to download or the email request doesn’t appear to me :frowning:
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hello everyone!!! I tried to download new version of garmin map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/. But in section “Request your map or download it directly” there is only info:“make a selection first” and no possibility of downloading map. Why is that?

You’ll have to select your map first (?)
I do select the maps but can’t download or do anything… :frowning:
