6. April – letzte CCBYSA 2.0 Karten Updates

Well so after a few weeks without notices here comes a big update and notice. As this update will be the last one that is based on CCBYSA 2.0 data (acutally the same data as last week) I have put a lot of effort in creating maps with as few errors as possible, and best usability.

 

Contourlines now Worldwide Available:

There are now contourlines for: Slovenia, Ukraine, Turkey, Estonia, Hungary, Croatia, Latvia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Serbia, Cyprus, Malta, Isle_of_Man, Azores, Faroe_Islands, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monacco and Macedonia.

And outside Europe: Iceland, Morocco, Madagascar, Israel and Palestine.

 

I'll still add over the folowing days contourlines for Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina inside Europe (then all Europe country maps have contourlines) and Somalia, Libya, Tanzania for Africa.

 

Well and my longtime goal was to provide contourlines for the whole world and with the above list only one big country/continent is missing. Namely Asia. But even with 25m intervals instead of 20m intervals, the full Asia contourlines amount to a whopping 9.4GB or 6GB 7zipped ( get it here ) , but will not integrate it into the map of Asia. You can of course install it into Mapsource/Basecamp/Qlandkarte GT and select areas out […]

Map Updates 2. March 2012

Well after the frenzy of the last 2-3 weeks, this week I took it a bit lazy, and only worked more or less 5 regular working days on improving the maps and the homepage. So on one hand I spend 2 days on updating openmtbmap.org and velomap.org from front to end (english and german) and especially updating all the tutorials with new pictures, so something probably rather important for newcomers (but hey, they are the most important as the more people map in OSM the better).

Then I spent quite some time on making sure that the autorouting get's adapted to the new etrex x0 and Basecamp 3 series is also working, as they don't respect any vehicle settings anymore, but instead will use some new map profiles that Garmin hasn't published yet. So especially for the VeloMap I made sure that all streets that one isn't allowed to cycle will be blocked when avoiding unpaved roads. Same goes of course also for the openmtbmaps.

While doing this I found some bugs on the access rights, in both openmtbmap and velomap and corrected them (sometimes one got really sent down stuff where from the osm tags there was no […]
