Programs to Display the Openmtbmap
For anyone on the good side of earth Openmtbmap.org maps are now shown correctly in Qlandkarte_GT version 0.17 or higher – QLandkarte_GT is compatible with all big OS (Linux, MacOSx and well Windows too). Linux users can alternatively install Mapsource 6.13.6 in WINE.
Mapsource – I currenlty recommend to use 6.16.x (once it will be available). Mapsource versions 6.14 to 6.15.6 are complete junk, if you use it, please update.
Mac OSx users please use Qlandkarte GT or convert maps and use Basecamp 3 or Roadtrip: convert-maps-for-mac-os-x-roadtrip/

Install Mapsource: tutorials/install-mapsource/
Install the Openmtbmap in Mapsource: tutorials/install/ explains howto use install*.bat
Alternative: use create_mapsource_installationfiles.bat to create new installationfiles.

Discouraged Alternative: Install maps with Mapsettoolkit: tutorials/install/installation-with-mapsettoolkit/
Send Maps to GPS with Mapsource: tutorials/send-maps-to-your-gps/mapsource/
I recommend to allways send maps to an external data card and not internamal memory. (this way if something goes wrong, or maps would be damaged you run less danger of wrecking your GPS).
Alternative: Use create_gmapsupp.img.bat and place the newly created gmapsupp.img into /garmin folder on your GPS. Address search cannot be included this way.
Send maps to GPS with mkgmap (for Unix users): tutorials/send-maps-to-your-gps/mkgmap/
Mapsource Error / debug Mapsource: There is a problem with the MapSource registry. Please re-install Mapsoures and start again Solve with Mapsource Fix Or with Mapset Toolkit

Current Issues
- If sending maps to GPS with Mapsource fails, run unregister_or_reregister_address_search.bat to unregister the address search index from Mapsource.
- Note that currently searching for streets in Cities with a UMLAUT (ö, Ä, Ü…) in their name will not work (bug in mkgmap). Therefore I don't include Umlauts.
The address search does not yet work as good on the GPS as in Mapsource. This will hopefully sometimes in future be corrected. It also does not work inside Basecamp.
- General: Autorouting over longer distances on GPS works only with Via Points. Solve with WinGDB: plan-routes-efficiently
- Autorouting needs attributes like tracktype, bicycle routes, mtb:scale, sac_scale, mtb routes and others to work well. So keep care to enter those details into OSM. (not all are needed, but enough for me to guesstimate wheter a street is cyclefriendly/mtbriendly or not).
- Non Connected ways and overlapping ways without node, this is the main problem and a problem of the underlaying map data – please check here: http://keepright.ipax.at/report_map.php
Only check/enable: "allmost Junctions" , "intersections without junctions" as well as "overlapping ways". This helps you to quickly spot the erros. You can then follow the link to Potlatch (or also JOSM is integrated for JOSM users) and quickly correct mistakes!
Watch out not to connect ways that are not connected in reality (i.e. a way crosses another on a brigde, here no connecting node is the right solution).
- If you use Windows 2000 you need to install the "reg" command : Reg cmd at Microsoft. Batches are incompatible to earlier Windows versions.
- Note overflowing sea is not an issue, but currently not differently possible. Any comments about it, will be deleted.

Contourlines
Please note, at the boundaries there might be some artefacts. I cannot change this currently. The interval of the contourlines is 20m. Note DEM creation is not yet possible. Where Available I have used DEM data from viewfinderpanoramas.org. This data is of much higher quality than other DEM sources, however I cannot publish this data under CCBYSA 2.0 – therefore the copyright of the contourline data remains with viewfinderpanoramas.org and I cannot include this data into the normal map downloads. See the quality differences here: www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/
On Basecamp 3 contourlines will be visible as on GPS and not disappear. You have to create the installationfiles by using create_mapsource_installationfiles_with_mkgmap.bat (which requires you to install Java JRE 6, and download mkgmap). Alternatively you can also use create_mapsource_installationfiles.bat (requires installation of cgpsmapper as maptk is not possible anymore) – but it has some drawbacks.
Contourlines updated on 27.05.2010 to solve eventual autorouting problems when integrated with openmtbmaps.
- European Alps (80MB) great quality
- Austria (24MB)
- Belgium 10m (4MB) – also see BeNeLux
- BeNeLux 10m (11MB) – Belgium – Netherlands – Luxembourg
- Chzechoslovakia (16MB)
- Denmark 10m (2MB)
- Finland (12MB) – great quality
- France (sans DOM TOM – avec la Corse) (58MB)
- Germany – (30MB)
- Greece - below the quality standard of the other contourlines – some parts with many data holes (28MB)
- Ireland and Northern Ireland (6MB)
- Italy - (61MB)
- Luxembourg 10m (1MB)
- Netherlands 10m - (1MB)
- Norway (70MB) – great quality

.TYP-Files – influence Layout and Contrast
Current .TYP files are named clas* thin* and wide*. If you still have mtb* or white* in your folders delete them. They will not work correctly with new maps anymore. To change between them, simply doubleclick and run the different installation .bat with admin rights.
You can change typfiles, and therefore the map colours, to your liking with http://ati.land.cz/gps/typdecomp/editor.cgi or by using http://www.maptk.dnsalias.com/

In the Great Britain map we have now lost some highway=bridleway routes. For example: http://osm.org/go/0EQRLbhBX- these cannot be seen on the 28/08/2010 map on my Dakota 20. In the previous update they were being drawn as bridges (two parallel black lines).
Try http://osm.org/go/0EQRLbhBX- instead (without nbsp; in the link)
I cannot understand your problem. They are rendered correct in Mapsource and Qlandkarte GT. If they were not rendered, there would be probably many other line types missing too. Please install the map legend on your Dakota 20, and report me all missing lines that are drawn in Mapsource, but not on the Dakota. Otherwise I cannot solve this.
For all others who get the following error message when running "create_mapsource_installationfiles_with_mkgmap.bat":
"— mkgmap working – please wait —
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
at java.nio.HeapByteBuffer.<init>(Unknown Source)…"
You have to increase the java heap size by editing the java command in the batch file. Change (around line 304):
start /low /b /wait java -ea -jar -Xmx512M mkgmap.jar –index –show-profiles=1 –description="%srtm%_%date%" –country-abbr=%abr%%srtmtext% –country-name="%date%_%srtmtext%" –family-id=%FID% –product-id=1 –series-name="%srtm%_%date%" –family-name="%srtm%_%date%" –tdbfile –overview-mapname=mapset%FID% –area-name="%abr%_%date%_openmtbmap.org" %img999%
To:
start /low /b /wait java -ea -jar -Xmx1024M mkgmap.jar –index –show-profiles=1 –description="%srtm%_%date%" –country-abbr=%abr%%srtmtext% –country-name="%date%_%srtmtext%" –family-id=%FID% –product-id=1 –series-name="%srtm%_%date%" –family-name="%srtm%_%date%" –tdbfile –overview-mapname=mapset%FID% –area-name="%abr%_%date%_openmtbmap.org" %img999%
This change fixed the problem here.
I think I have found a couple of issues with recent updates – 19th August. I can't be sure as this is only the second time I have installed the map.
In the Great Britain map on my Garmin Dakota 20, it looks like highway=bridleway is being drawn incorrectly.
See here for an example: http://osm.org/go/0EQFVPZk
West of Main Street, the tagging is only highway=bridleway and on the Dakota it is drawn as two parallel black lines and looks really ugly. I don't think this issue was in the map a few weeks ago but I can't be certain. Tagging like this is all over the UK.
East of Main Street, the tagging is again highway=bridleway but also has designation and bicycle, horse tags etc. This is drawn nicely as a blue line.
Also, there is a water tower POI east of Main Street (not visible on OSM). It appears on the Dakota in German: Wassenturn.
Let me know if I can do anything to help.
Yeah, the bridleway & bicycle=no combination had some issue (bridge instead of crosses were shown). As for Wasserturm, that should only be displayed if language is set to German.
You don't seem to understand my point. The data is there. It's in Open Street Map already. Only it's not in this compilation or whatever this is called. It doesn't have to be retrieved in the field anymore. It's like a bug. In the holes there is nothing at all, a strange blank spot.
Hello Geert,
sorry for the misunderstanding, I should have digested your mail completely before answering… Maybe you can pinpoint the areas so that others can look at the problem. It can be that some tags are wrong or mkgmap (the map compiler) has a bug.
kind regards
Chris
please see FAQ
Splendid detailed maps. I'm impressed.
Unfortunately in the Netherlands there are a few holes. Those holes don't exist in Open Street Map. Is there a possibility this gets fixed?
Thanks, Geert
Hi Geert,
OSM is a community, user driven project. i.e. it lives and grows with the contributions everyone makes. So it is also up to you to enhance the map data and fill the holes.
So, grab you GPS, drive, walk or cycle around your area, upload the tracks and tag them accordingy. The nice thing is, once you start adding data, others will follow and contribute to the same area. e.g. last year my favourite working area Lake Garda was a white hole more or less. Together with a handful of other contributors we have now reached a coverage of this part of the world.
kind regards and happy mapping

Leider ein kleines Problem bei mir: Beim Auswählen der Kartenkacheln stürzt MapSource ab.
Karten: openmtbmap Germany mit Höhendaten Germany. Erstellt mittels create_mapsource_installationfiles_with_mkgmap.bat. Download vom 04.08.2010.
MapSource 6.16.2 unter Windows XP.
Wähle ich Kacheln aus fragt MapSource, ob ein Fehlerbericht gesendet werden soll und beendet sich anschliessend.
Bei den openmtbmap Austria und openmtbmap Alpen mit entsprechenden Höhendaten funktioniert es problemlos.
Nehme ich nur die openmtbmap Germany ohne Höhendaten, funktioniert es ebenfalls.
zu wenig ram. benutz cgpsmapper batch anstelle.
Thank you, we'll try it on Bornholm soon.
I discover this site which is perfect for GPS user. My GPSMap 60Csx doesn't have enough voice to say thank you for that!
Habe gerade die Malta Karte für meinen Urlaub nächste Woche Runtergeladen. Sehr schöne Sache. Vielen Herzlichen Dank
Mit einem Oregon 450, Firmware 3.71:
Weiß jemand bereits warum die Strassennamen verschwinden?
Ich besitze erst seit heute mein erste GPS, wenn ich das Profil gewechselt habe werden solange Strassennamen angezeigt bis ich :
* die Karteverschiebe
* den Zoomfaktor für Strassennamen ändere
* eine andere OSM-Karte auswähle oder zurück auf die openmbt schalte.
Desweiteren ist mir aufgefallen, daß wenn ich die Hoehendaten installieren will, Mapsource crasht. Ich hab die aktuellen Files geladen, diese mit dem mkgmap-Batch kompiliert und lade die Maps korrekt nach Anleitung über Mapsource auf das Gerät.
Great job guys!!!
Hi,
als Ubuntu-Nutzer schaut man jetzt ja ganz schön dumm aus der Wäsche mit all den neuen *.EXE-Setups.
Das ist schade.
bei velomap gibt's die fertige gmapsupp.img, das ist einfachst und unabhängig vom Betriebssystem.
Könnte man das nicht auch für openmtbmap machen? Bittebitte, mit Sahne oben drauf für "(all those guys) on the good Ubuntu side of the world".
Gruß Pprian
Nein. Aber die exe kann man ganz einfach entpacken. Mann muss nur auch als Ubuntu User die Anleitungen lesen…….
Bzw du stellst einen FTP mit genuegend Bandbreite fuer die gmapsupp Downloads auf, dass erstellen/uploaden koennte ich inzwischen schon machen.
Danke für den Tipp. Schande über mein Haupt, den Part dass die Exe nichts anderes als ein sebstextrahierendes Archiv ist hab ich wohl überlesen.
Hi Pprian,
bin zwar kein Ubuntu Spezialist, aber…
…lade doch einfach die .exe Datei in den 7zip Packer. Dann hast du alle Dateien, die vorher im 7zip Archive enthalten waren. Das EXE ist im Prinzip nur der Archive Selfextractor für Windows, der dann noch die Installationsroutine aufruft. Das Unterverzeichnis $PLUGINSDIR brauchst du beim manuellen Entpacken nicht.

Hallo zusammen, (2. Versuch)
ich bin etwas überrascht, dass das Routing mit dem Fahrrad auf der NRW-Karte über eine Straße, die mit
KFZ: no Preset
Highway: livingstreet und
name: ……
definert ist, in MS nicht funktioniert. Z.B. hier: http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=51.304362&lon=6.428923&zoom=18
War das immer schon so und soll das so sein?

Hallo,
Die Frage wurde <a href="http://openmtbmap.org/updates/enmap-updates-02-july-2010-dekartenupdates-2-juli-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-2566">hier</a> schon mal gestellt.
Allerdings muss ich mir dem anschließen, bei mir wird nicht über living_street geroutet (nicht einmal, wenn Start- und Endpunkt auf dem Weg liegen), das ist für meinen Geschmack dann doch etwas zu stark abgewertet.
Gruß GeoCounter
Welche Tags hat die living_street? Normalerweise schon routingfaehig, aber halt niedrigste Prioritaet. Was mir eher abgeht, ist ein Tag fuer Einkaufstraße …. die wuerde ich gerne ganz aus dem Routing nehmen, wenn Fahrrad nicht explizit erlaubt (macht keinen Sinn auf laengeren Strecken, und Start/Endpunkt sind ja egal, das kapiert man auch im Kopf/Display).
Da Josm immer andere Sachen hat in den Presets, brauche ich die exakten Tags.
Also in meinem Fall ist es ausschließlich highway=living_street (außer name keine zusätzlichen Taggs). Da geht das Routing per Luftlinie zur nächsten Straße und Routet dann von da.
Das mit Start- und Endpunkt war auch nur ein Test. Allerdings sind mitunter ganze Dörfer als living_street getaggt, was extreme Umwege zur Folge hat.
In Einkaufsstraßen ist häufig das Radfahren ja ohnehin verboten (ob es so getaggt ist, ist die andere Frage).
Fehler gefunden, ab naechstem Update funktioniert das Routing auf living_street wieder.
Sehr cool, danke.
@all Mac users:
Ich habe gerade mal auf dem Rechner meiner Frau (Mac OSX 10.4) mit dem Programm http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html die aktuellen EXE Maps einfach entpackt. Gefunden mittels google und den Suchbegriffen "lzma mac os".
bis dann
