Programs to Display the Openmtbmap

For anyone on the good side of earth Openmtbmap.org maps are shown in  Qlandkarte_GT – 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 6.16.3 or later. Mapsource versions 6.14 to 6.15.6 are complete junk, if you use it, please update. Also note that Mapsource versions prior to 6.16.1 do not show all ways and pathes so they are not really usable. Mac OSx users please use Qlandkarte GT or convert maps and use Basecamp 3 or Roadtrip: convert-maps-for-mac-os-x-roadtrip/

 

Problems – Help – Tutorials

A Beginners Guide can be found here: get started with openmtbmaps Install Mapsource: tutorials/install-mapsource/ Install the Openmtbmap in Mapsource: tutorials/install/ explains howto use install*.bat. For general use just install the .exe executable. Alternative: use create_mapsource_installationfiles.bat to create new installationfiles.

Alternative: Install maps with gmaptool: tutorials/install/gmaptool-install-maps/

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 Please also read the FAQ

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. – The address search is right now optimized but new as of 13.2.2010 working to more or less 90% of what is possible with OSM data. Most problems are due to inconsistent data structures in OSM address data. - 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: "almost 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 may need to install the "reg" command : Reg cmd at Microsoft. Batches are incompatible to earlier Windows versions. – Note sometimes sea is missing. This is not an issue, but currently not differently possible. It is usually a problem in OSM data.

 

Notice on Updating Maps

If you wan't to be notified by email on map updates please go to the frontpage and enter your email address in the subscribe field of the left sidebar. You only get an e-mail when there are changes besides a simple map data update. Map updates are usually every Thursday night / Friday morning. You can look at the server to see the date of map upload. To update the maps, simply run a newer .exe Download.

Overlapping maps in border regions

While you can join maps of different countries, routing over the boundary is a bit shaky, and you will have one map overlaying the other with white background. As long as mkgmap cannot create randomly shaped overview maps (currently only rectangles), this problem is not solvable. There is however the possiblity to download a Europe map, which will be updated every 4-6 weeks. Get Europe Map here (donation needed): http://openmtbmap.org/support/europe-map/

 

 

Maps

last map  update: please look at recent posts – usually at least every 7 days with updates on Thursday/Friday You can unpack the .exe with 7-zip , ( Linux users use p7zip-full –> see here for more details), MacOSx Users can use "Unarchiver" Contourlines (height lines) are available as seperate downloads – please scroll down to: contourlines

 

Map Legend

  • openmtbmap – Legend for Mapsource/Qlandkarte_GT Installation
  • For the map legend in OSM format and the style-files, please look at the SVN (see FAQ)

Contourlines map downloads

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/ Contourlines are seperate transparent maps that can be installed separately from the openmtbmaps. They are shown on top of any other map on your GPS. On your PC use can overlay them over other maps with Basecamp 3 or Qlandkarte GT. For instructions look here:  install contourlines

Contourlines as .exe Installable Map

 

.TYP-Files – influence Layout and Contrast

On installation you can choose the layout of the maps. Traditional layout is for Qlandkarte GT, Mapsource and Basecamp and offers a good layout and design for big screens. On the GPS thin, classic and wide offer high contrast for best orientation while riding your bike or hiking. To change layout simply rerun the installer. You can change typfiles, and therefore the map colours, to your liking by using http://www.maptk.dnsalias.com/ to adapt the .typ files. Do not use  http://ati.land.cz/gps/typdecomp/editor.cgi because it is not fully compatible and may corrupt the typfile.

Feedback

Please comment if you like theese maps or even better tell other people about them (forums, blog about it, twitter, etc…) In case maps break Mapsource or don't work – please write exactly which downloads don't work and the time of download as well as your OS and Mapsource version.. Please note, I will delete your comment without notice if it is explained here http://openmtbmap.org/download/#problems-help-tutorials or in the FAQ
