If am facing a small but frustrating issue: I need to use bigger maps that 2Gigs, travelling accross Eurpe. I am planning my trips in mapsource/basecamp but cannot install both windows maps, as the name of the application (OSM Generic routable) is the same for both, and the installer says it’s already installed.
I would by nice to have some generated or user input unique ids in the installer/application name.
Can I fix that somehow, or can you develop a feature like that?
Further experimenting shows that although the paths render as dark lines in MapSource or BaseCamp, if they are then downloaded to the GPS using MapInstall, they render as white lines (same as if the .img version of the map was loaded directly to the SD card).
question about course routing using Garmin Edge (Edge 830 in my case) devices.
Checking all possibilities, but routing for MTB bike uses mostly main roads. Any clue how to make the routing usable for MTB bike using the OSM downloaded maps?
The Windows to Basecamp exe installer file is designated as dangerous by Windows and is blocked from reception to execution. What can be done? I want to examine the Map in Basecamp before I trial it on my Touch 35 device.
You can use the _macosx.zip (not only for Mac OSX but also for Windows)
Unzip it and place the .gmap folder to the default Garmin map folder. Default map folder is C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps or C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps (please note this is a hidden folder!). Or you can use http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html to install the gmap maps.
It seems the “Generic routable (new style)” is not incorporating new OSM data. I have been downloading and downloading over the last few weeks waiting for changes I made to be visible in the downloaded maps. In frustration, I finally downloaded a “Generic routable” version (ie not “new style”) and all the changes were there!
This is bad news for me because using the “new style” was my solution to the plain “Generic routable” type now rendering paths as (usually invisible) white lines.
Yes, I think there is something broken during map compilation, please report it directly to Lambertus the owner of that site, as he won’t read this forum: osm at na1400 dot info
Good morning, I wanted to know what possibilities there are to modify for Argentina because if one needs to look for an address where it is the autonomous city of Buenos Aires, it appears in English and by commune, which makes it difficult to find addresses and streets. The idea would be to replace autonomous city by city of buenos aires thank you very much sorry I’m using a translator
I do not know if the following has been talked about already, so sorry if it has. I just installed the OSM Routable map for Portugal onto my Montana 610 and the other evening when I turned it on (after sunset) instead of a completely dark map, it came up in black (for the buildings I think) and the rest white! I thought at first it was the unit playing up, but then I enabled the Garmin City Nav map and all was as it should be. Don’t the OSM maps have a working “night” function?
One more thing, the following message has popped up in JaVaWa Device Manager: Error: segment codes from this file reside in other files. This will cause problems with routing and/or displaying maps.
Site is since a few days, hope it will be up again soon.
I now see how I need and miss this site… so I won’t forget to donate as soon it’s back, hope you guys will consider too.
Cheers
I have a Garmin 520 (no expandable storage), so I always choose as few tiles as possible when downloading new maps. But recently, when I select my state (in the US), I can’t de-select the tiles I don’t want…and the map is too large for my GPS.
There used to be an option to select the tiles you wanted manually, but now it’s been replaced with “perhaps you’d like to select more tiles” and an option to reset your selection.
Hi,
I am a Garmin 520 user and so can only download a few tiles at a time for them. As the servers are down at the moment I only have the option to download all of France which my Garmin doesn’t have the memory for. When will the servers be back up and running like normal so i can download just a few of the France tiles that I need.
Rory.
For some weeks it is not possible to download a part of for example France. Now I dedided to download then the map of the complete country, but unfortunately the download will not start. Does somebody know when this will work again?
Hi so I’m trying to get a map on to my GARMIN 520, it was always easy with http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ but now that’s not working I’m having trouble.
So I download the map I want from https://extract.bbbike.org/ (it’s only a small map so storage, isn’t an issue)
I’ve tried the options Garmin cycle and Garmin openfietsmap both LATIN AND UTF-8
Then I just drag the image file to the GARMIN device folder and rename to gmapbmap.img (I deleted the old file already)
But I haven’t managed to get a map image to display on the device.
Is there any step I’m missing or something anyone can see that I’m doing wrong… thanks!
