Updates this evening

Changes/New:

Autorouting changed a bit, not much but could work a bit better over long distances (in case you did not get the updates 3-4 days ago, you might notice a big change of course, as routing over tileboarders works correctly now).

Oneway streets shown also in case that there is a route on the same street.

white typfile should work also on GPS now.

Route Recalculation much earlier now.

Some other small errors corrected.

Again, please use 7-zip or winrar to unpack the files from now on. I save 10% of bandwith with the move to 7-zip.

Update should finish around midnight

Again Updates

 

Since 23.05 all my maps had one big flaw, routing over tile boundaries did not work. Luckily error is solved now and therefore I upload new maps.

As reactions to the beta maps were quite positive, I will stick to the format.

The next big change is the move to 7zip compression, as it saves about 10% better than RAR or ZIP on maximum compression. Generally I would have preferred zip or rar because it is more widespread, but 7zip is anyhow a very good program and lzma compression is also widespread, Opensource (which rar is not) and supported on all OS. I will need to hear good arguments to move back to zip. Please comment if 7zip format is a factor for you not using the OpenMTBMap.

Map data will not be updated however, as geofabrik sever is down.
