Da das antworten von Supportanfragen oder Kommentaren mich recht viel Zeit kostet, gibt es hier nun einen Premium Bereich, der in ein paar Tagen online geht. Ab dann wird man auf anderen Seiten keine Kommentare mehr hinterlassen können.
Dieser Bereich wird für alle User die 20€ oder mehr gespendet haben offen sein
Dies ermöglicht mir Fragen gut zu beantworten, für die User die es schätzen.
Wenn du keine Spende an Openmtbmap.org zahlen möchtest, ist das auch kein Problem. Es gibt genug Onlineforen wo deine Fragen zu Garmin/GPS und/oder den Openmtbmaps sicherlich auch beantwortet werden. Durch Beiträge in Foren zur Openmtbmap, hilfst du dann immerhin der weiteren Verbreitung der Maps.
Evtl werde ich hier in Zukunft auch Premiumkarten - also etwa eine komplette Europakarte mit Adresssuche anbieten. Mal schaun.
hi Felix, I downloaded the updated map of Italy in the Garmin montana 680 and when I put the pin on the cycle paths the information on them disappeared and it only tells me the position in degrees, what’s the problem?
thank you
tetti
Please show me a screenshot or picture of what is happening. I don’t understand your description / or cannot process what it means.
I tried to upload a picture but her it does work out.
okey there is a picture, so this track on garmin is the alpe Adria trail , but I don’t read the name of the track but I read the position.
before with the old map I could read the name of the track.
this happens on all bike trails
Okay I get it – if you click on the yellow road with the labels besides it – do you then get the right tooltip? Or does it affect all roads? How did you send the map? Did you send contourlines integrated into the map or is this separte map and separate contourlines each their own gmapsupp.img?
Surely not supposed to be like this.
Is altitude shading/DEM shading activated or deactivated?
I downloaded the map Italy included countourlines installing it
to basecamp by mupinstall: there isn’t present no one Italy maps , changing layout to “Wild” for Garmin then sending to it. so, I deleted the map on basecamp installing by mupinstall the same it changing layout for “desktop” , on the last one works perfect.
in the Garmin the problem is present in all roads.
Is altitude shading/DEM shading activated or deactivated? —- yeas , it is on “auto”
Garmin roads
same map on basecamp
same map on base camp
okay – I see. Hmm. strange. I think maybe garmin changed something with it’s firmware? If you set DEM shading to deactivatd, does it work?
You could try downloading the gmapsupp.img version – contourlines are a separate map in that case and see if that changes something vs the version sent with Basecamp.
I’m pretty sure it has nothing to do with the updating of the maps but must be something fundamentally different to before. I just cannot figure what is different.
First thing to try – does the information show up if you install the gmapsupp.img without any contourlines map?
Felix i have done! I deleted the italy unicode map and I installed non unicode italy map, now it is perfect. thank you! stefano
hi Felix, unfortunately today I realized that problem is present to other map installed as well ,after I changed italia map from unicode to non unicode as I wrote you yesterday , the problem moved to the other tree unicode maps installed : slo,hr,aut . so today I reset Garmin and I installed all map non unicode and the problem is solved by activating only one map at a time (obviously the one I need at that moment). With all maps activated, if I place the pointer on the ISONZO river (for example) , I only read lat and long. Then I move to the MAP SETTINGS, turn off the other maps. I leave only the ITA map active. I go back to the map screen and read river ISONZO.

The italy map is always non unicode, same for the other countries you mention. However I think I may know the reason. It may be due to other maps overlapping without content. If Italy map alone with contours activated doesn’t have this problem – but if other maps that are close by are active then it happens. You could use Europe non Unicode map instead for that area – or maybe the Alps map covers all that you need? Then you do not need to activate several maps. Install like France map at the same time and also activate it – I’m sure then the problem doesn’t appear. It only happens in border regions.
in all situations nothing change turn off dem shading
thankyou, I will try!
Hi,
I value the site for quite some years and updating maps for trip planning. However, suddenly I now encounter unexpected troubles installing europe continent map. I get a message “mtbeurope.7z cannot be unpacked…”. Nothing solved the problem so far 🙁
– several new downloads (Both installer and 7z file same time)
– execution as administrator, turning off virusscan/firewall
I need Non-Unicode files because of Garmin Oregon device. MD5 and filesize are identical, after downloading. OS is Win11 Pro 22H2.
Any recognition, any help/suggestions?
Tx in advance, JW
Are you sure they are the same version – meaning same language and unicode/non unicode? Which one exactly in this case? (no need to turn of firewall/virusscan – the installer checks if a text file is created in the installation directory after unpacking mtbeurope.7z.
Also sometimes people make mistake to download to another directory/folder and to click on a wrong/old version of mtbeurope.7z (avoid by downloading to the same folder – best with nothing else in it). You can also check the MD5 hash of the mtbeurope.7z if the download is correct.
@extremecarver, thanks for replying and suggesting some possible solutions. Unfortunately, this didn’t help and I checked all your recommendations carefully. To check my system I also removed velomap, downloaded the newest version with europe-maps and contours which installed out-of-the box.
I downloaded the openmbtmap from the ‘Europe Map premium download – Windows’ tab from the ‘Support and Help’ menu. I’ll check the other options.
what is the exact error message you are getting? Open the .7z file with 7zip (no need to unpack) and look for the file named something like:
edition_omtb_local_language_Non_Unicode_europe_
DATE.info
the edition file needs to have the same text as the error message that you will get after the unsuccesful unpacking. Also make sure the disk has enough free space.
Hi @extremecarver,
Sorry for coming back late, but I was on a business trip and did not have access to the computer with te corresponding files.
Thanks for giving suggestions, Disk-space was sufficient. 21 GB required where 91GB was available for writing.
I checked the file you mentioned, but it was empty, apart from the first line reading _”OpenMTBMap Local Language Non Unicode europe 29.03.2023″_ (plain text editor for opening). So it gives little clues on error messages?
yes it’s normal to be empty – just needs to be present. So you need the installer non unicode local language from 29.03 – and that one should install with the mentioned 7z file (and if you tick contourlines also the 7z containing the 20m or the 10m contourlines as chosen). Maybe you chose english language or Unicode instead? After launching the installer it will say it’s name.
If you are updating – maybe do a clean restart and uninstall the old europe map first and make sure the directory is empty.
Thank you sir! A clean install was required and helped me out. Don’t know what’s wrong, but anyway. I thought of it myself but was hesitant. Afraid to end up with no maps at all :(.
Thank you for your time!
JW
happy you got it working.
Warum steht in der Legende auf Wikiopenstreetmap.org für Mountainbikeroute Mn oder Ln und in den Karten Mr oder Lmr?
Ich dachte immer die Endung “r” steht für Route und warum hat man nicht die Bezeichnung von Wikiopenstreetmap “n” dafür übernommen?
Ich vermute “n” steht für network.
Hmm, ich muss das nochmal überprüfen – eigentlich hatte ich das vor einiger Zeit geändert. Früher war N als Abkürzung nur für Fahrrad Netzwerke – nicht für andere. Daher hatte ich R für Route genommen.
Auf Seite https://openmtbmap.org/de/download/gmapsupp/ funktionieren die Links im Orangen Teil nicht (Anleitung, Download Unicode, …) nicht mehr
Geht problemlos bei mir. Evtl hat dein Browser ein Problem. Probiere es mit anderem Browser
I downloaded the hiking map for Kazakhstan as well as the contour file. The map loaded on Basecamp ok, but it would not transfer to my Garmin GSPr64. My GPSr had the message along the line that I should contact the manufacturer. I download the Great Britian map and it loaded onto my GPSr ok.
You need non Unicode Version of Kazakhstan. Have fun with it.
Guten Tag
Ich habe die mtbfrance Karten heruntergeladen. Windows 11 . Wenn ich nun diese 7-Z datei mit “rechtsklick-öffnen” und mit – 7-zip console entpacken will passiert nichts, wenn ich “weiter Optionen anzeigen” wähle und dort 7 Zip wähle erscheint eine ganze Liste (extract here etc ) . Wenn ich extract files wähle erscheint ein neuer Ordner “mtbfrance_gmapsupp” aber keine exe. Datei
und somit weiss ich nicht wie es mit der Installation der Karte auf Basecamp weitergeht.
Vielleich können Sie mir helfen, Grüsse N .Lincke
Hallo ich nochmals
Ich habe meinen Fehler gefunden: Ich habe dummerweise die Garmin Karten heruntergeladen! Sorry für die Umstände.
Grüsse N.Lincke
ups, hab den Kommentar zu spät gelesen. Kein Problem.
Warum willst du die Frankreich Karte entpacken. Wenn du die Windows Version herunterlädst – kannst du die .exe direkt ausführen. Entpacken lässt sie sich nicht – weil >2GB NSIS Problem. Daher gibt es für Linux User noch die mtbfrance-linux Datei zum herunterladen.
Die gmapsupp Version ist nicht für Basecamp gedacht sondern direkt fürs GPS Gerät.
Ciao,
non riesco ad installare le mappe con Mapinstall su un nuovo Garmin edge Explore 2, mi dà l’errore che trovate nel file in allegato.
Ho provato ad installare una mappa da Garmin Express e li invece ha funzionato perfettamente.
Come posso fare?
Grazie
Luca Trentini
You can install Garmin USB drivers again – but it should continue anyhow – I’m not sure how meaningful this error message is. If you click okay it will still transfer from what I heard. Otherwise need to ask Garmin – this is not about the map itself.
Hello,
I downloaded the standard local language map of Nepal and also the counterlines. No problem so far and it works in BaseCamp on my Windows11 PC.
I installed the map on my Garmin GPSmap66s and also no problem. But I also have an Etrex 32X and I tried to install the Nepal map.
During installation everything seems to go alright but after completion of the installation I got the following message on the screen of the Etrex 32X “Can’t authenticate maps, contact seller for help. Then I first tried to install the map on an old Etrex 30 and that was no problem. When I connect the Etrex 32X on my computer to try to install the map again, the mapinstaller says that the Nepal map already is installed but when I try to configurate the map in the Etrex it is not in the list. There is more then enough space on the internal memory and also on the memory card. I tried both options but no result.
So now I am lost. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Jan
You need the non Unicode local language. Local language also exists as Unicode. Or the English non Unicode.
I formatted wit real FAT32 but you’re right I used the SDXC card. I ordered 32 Gb SDHC now. I think the problem is solved now, thanks very much.
