What i liked a lot, was the design it the bigger symbols like I know in Garmin cards.
I also use the āFreizeitkarteā, and they are perfect, but its hard with the small symbols or Hotels etcā¦
And what I really miss, the selection of the tiles to create a own map.
For example, I travel Russia, Mongolia and the Stans, so I can create a map for this region, and donāt need to download 10 countries and change them on the SD card
You will be pleased to know you can draw your own polygon shape to download a tailored area of your choice using Bbbike.org https://extract.bbbike.org/
You can connect your device to the computer, or create a virtual drive and view the maps from there with Basecamp. Another workaround is to use my osmcombiner tool to create one bigger installable map for Basecamp from several gmapsupp.imgās http://osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/openfietsmap/OSM_Combiner/readme.html This method has one big disadvantage, it lacks an overview map for lower scales, so you have to zoom in to view the map.
Unfortunately, with http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ death, I also found myself with the map problem for my Garmin Etrex.
Every time I find errors on my bike I go to correct them on OSM and then I love to find updated maps on Garmin.
I was also using the .nl maps before but now I have completely switched over to https://garmin.opentopomap.org/
At first it was a bit of an adjustment to get used to the color scheme but Iām loving it now. And more features.
RE: for worldwide coverage on http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl and hope to update these each week
I downloaded country maps .img new style for various in europe in April 2020
I re downloaded the same maps to update my satnav and ALL the maps are the identical size to those which I had from a year ago.
I donāt agree.The service used to offer the possibility to select tiles, a very nice way to create a custom map, and this doesnāt work since many months.
Outdated maps is the other obvious problem.
At the risk of asking a silly question, what are you actually hoping will happen in response to your post here? That server no longer does what it used to do and its former maintainer is AWOL. Insert whatever quote you like from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Parrot_sketch.
There are, of course, plenty of other ways of getting OSM data onto a garmin device, either as a direct download or by creating the map for exactly the area you want yourself. (see lots of comments earlier in the thread). They donāt work in exactly the same way as garmin.openstreetmap.nl , but you can download the same data.
The way that garmin.openstreetmap.nl and the other infrastructure around it was set up isnāt (as far as Iām aware) documented anywhere so no-one can just lift it and deploy it esewhere - and even if it was, someone would need to commit a good chunk of time to maintaining it and dealing with user requests.
The next question, given that garmin.openstreetmap.nl is no longer usable, is what do you actually want to do? Perhaps someone can help with that.
It may not have read like it, but my answer was trying to be helpful. Asking āwhen will this site be operational againā is not one that people can answer. However, āhow do I get up to date maps for my travelsā might well be one that people can help with. Perhaps try one of the alternatives listed earlier in the thread? If thereās a reason why they donāt work for you then maybe you could explain in a bit more detail what the problems with it are?
