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.
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
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?
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
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.
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 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?
Hello everybody,
I seem to have the same problem. No matter my selection (via tiles or by country) the site keeps saying I have to make a selection first. Using the optional ‘typ button’ MAPNIK makes the server looking for existing maps, but it stays looking, even after 10 minutes or longer. Does anyone know why this is (and perhaps solutions?)? Thnx Incantatrix
Hi, I also have the same problem. I select the maps and then where it says:- Request your map or download it directly:
(Make a selection first) I used to be able to put my email address in there and then wait for the two emails. Now I’m not given the option to put my email address in. Nothing happens. Last week was the same problem then it said the server was down so couldn’t get them and now we’re back to the same problem. Help!!
