You'll have to select your map first (?)
I do select the maps but can't download or do anything...

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

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

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

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!!

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Hi BBBIKE.

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?

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=garm … latin1.zip

...
Yepp. Using the proposed settings it seems to work on my Edge 520.
Thx 4 help. Will donate.

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

There is nobody here who can help you, you have to wait and check if it is fixed or not.
The quickest solution is find another map provider.

Can you please recommend a good provider for Russian maps - ideal for motorcycles?
Thank you in advance!

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Hello again. Does anybody has an idea how to  let know the mapmaker about downloading problems? Because I didn't find any possible contact form to them...

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

No doubt I'm missing something obvious, as I've used http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ before. I can easily select the tiles I want, but I don't see where to enter my email, select to have a composite file, and ask for the download.  WHAT am I missing?
Thanks, Geoff

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

I have been a really enthusiastic user for years, but the server status frightened me very much:

Server status:
osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 1 requests (~0 days), status = OK
sn21.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/garmin/, queue = 3751 requests (~15.6 days), status = OK

Why is the queue so high and I would have to wait at least 7 days for my card...?

Hello,

"This request is # 752 in the queue. The delay is approximately 1.6 days."

But that is already 5 days ago.
Unfortunately I still got a link to the donload. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Wouldn't it make sense to do a complete reset and then accept new requests?
Who is the operator of the site?
Maybe it is just spammed because of all the requests...?

The problem is that Lambertus seems to be not responding to any queries.

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

For all those stuck in the waiting queue - there is a way around this issue - just select map type and tiles as usual, but instead of requesting the download, just look at the bottom of left sidebar - there are direct links to all selected tiles there - just download them all, and then use a tool like http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/ (I'm sure there are other more user-friendly if you don't like the command line) to merge them into one gmapsupp.img file, rename it to gmapbmap.img, upload to your Garmin and you're gold. Just tested, works fine.

Great tip, worked perfectly for me too. Thank you!

I found MapWel Map Upload worked a treat to easily combine the tiles and load them onto a Garmin 520.

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Have now received this message for several days.

"This request could not be found in the queue. Most likely the map is already generated and you received another email containing the url where the map can be downloaded, or you should receive that email shortly. "

But did not receive a link to download.

Edit:
Have now created a map again.
Now in the mail:

This request is # 365 in the queue. The delay is approximately 18.3 hours.

I guess he deleted all requests because there were too many.

@bmw-biker007 It's broken; you'll need to use another source of maps.  Lots are listed at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM … n/Download (and you can also create your own).

Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

I have been getting the message "Sorry, this service is currently not available due to server problems. Please come back later..." since last weekend.  I gather this is an issue that pops up from time to time, but does anyone know when it will be fixed?  I've tried different browsers and different  computers but it does not seem to make a difference.

Thanks.

It's broken, use a different site (there are lots that you can download OSM-based Garmin maps from).  See GerdP's post above
https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtop … 33#p746933 and numerous others offering similar advice.
