Map Updates 19. May 2011 and Europe Map

As promised I created a Openmtbmap of Europe – more on this later. First about the map updates

Map Updates:

I changed mkgmap to use the locator branch, meaning the address search should provide better results. The result is not yet perfect, but much better than before. I will have to see how much time it needs to create the maps tonight, to decide whether I keep on using the locator branch, as it needs quite some more time to compile the maps. Currently I only do this for maps in Europe. Other continents may follow. Also for this update only on the Openmtbmap, and not VeloMap.

The Nüvi support still missed showing some roads, and I cannot fully correct this. As it does not show many lines. I have used up all that the Nüvi shows already. Therefore I switched many line positions in the style-file around, in order to make sure, that the most important lines/roads are shown on Nüvi GPS. Basically only some cycleway indicators are missing now. Maybe I refine this a bit better in the coming weeks, so that there is consistency in what is not shown on Nüvi. I did not yet change this […]

Open MTB Map Updates 13.5.2011 — changes for streetnames and Nüvi

Okay, just in a short notice. The main changes for this update are again a rework of the streetnames (there were still some bugs on edge 800 last update) – plus a big rework with switching many types so that hopefully all roads are now shown on newer generation (4digit) Nüvi devices (yes I know this is a small minority, and I really shouldn't have spent many hours on it, but the danger is that firmware changes from Nüvi trickle down – so if all lines are shown on Nüvi devices, they should be shown on all other recent devices too).  

Openmtbmap.org now also in Spanish

Also thanks to José López (User dardhal on Spanish MTB forums), openmtbmap.org is now fully translated to Spanish – our combined hope for implmenting Spanish language is to give a push to Mtbikers in Spain and South/Latin America to participate in OSM. Big thanks to José cause that was really a lot of content to translate and many hours of work.

 

Streetnames on edge 800 / Oregon/Dakota/Colorado non beta firmware / GPS Maps 62

Well I had announced on last update, that streetnames were now shown, and that was not really true, […]
