Thank you very much for the information, I totally missed that there is a date.
As the maps one can download are generated more-or-less on the fly, I somehow assumed that they directly accessed the OSM database or that the update was scripted and therefore must be up to date. I now see it’s not that way.
But that site’s not the only one, I see outdated maps on quite a few sites out there using OSM.
I’ll have a look around to see what’s out there (I use the maps for motorcycling, so bike-friendly topographic maps (which there are a lot out there) is not what I need, but if all fails I’ll just have to build my own maps as suggested. I’m a Linux user, so a commandline tool is nothing new for me.
Hello,
I am using http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ to download the latest version of the map of France.
I realize that the version is old and from June 20.
It seems that it is no longer updated.
the problem is the same for other countries.
Thank you for your comeback.
Sadly, I have yet to find an alternative where one can get both the maps for the device plus the installer for Basecamp.
Short of building your own map, I’ve not gone this route yet.
When will custom maps be available again?
Currently only country maps are available, additionally I found that some country maps do work in Basecamp but not in Garmin devices via sd-card.
I used http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ for creating small maps for my garmin 520, as it has only ±100MB of storage for maps.
I tried other sites, but did not work for me.
BUT, if you select your country on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ on the left you will see a list of all the tiles used and you can download the individual tiles. For Belgium it was 53 tiles and it took me a while to map the tiles to a screenshot of the map from http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/
Using the mkgmap I’m able to combine the tiles I need for my next ride.
Would be nice that you could download the tile by clicking it on the map, so that I don’t need to figure out the correlation between the tile on the map and the .img file.
Or is there another way to find out this information?
Hello all,
First of all, thanks for this great maps.
On my etrex 30x they go very well.
I have just some doubts regarding routing options:
On the etrex 30x, with this map, I should not Don’t avoid highways/motorways right?
Because Motorways and other roads that are blocked for cyclists are non routable. like stated herehttp://www.openfietsmap.nl/tips-tricks/routing-errors right?
Sorry, I missed to say that, Routable Bicycle (Openfietsmap Lite) yes.
Thank you for the info.
Do you know if for https://extract.bbbike.org/ using Garmin (OSM) the behaviour is the same?
It’s not only the look. The style also sets routing attributes. For example, the cycle maps typically will not allow to use motorways. They may route cars over cycle ways because car mode means “racing bike”. So, if you want to use the routing functions for car traffic cycle maps are a bad choice. The maps are produced with program mkgmap, see http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/ for more details.
