Map Updates 25.3.2011

This time mainly cleanups. For the VeloMap I corrected some little bugs that caused street labels to appear too early.

Besides for both maps: place=locality is now only in resolution=24 - it often caused too much focus in resolution=22 and hence I moved it back. I looked around and most maps do not even show place=locality at all.

Also I included some more access rules for several vehicle types - or better delete some more defaults. However I don't think this will cause much/any difference in practise.

Opposite to reductions, I now included breakwater, groyne and pond polygons into the map, as well as power=minor_line.

For convenience I changed the create_gmapsupp.img.batch file to always use the same FID as the maps it comes with. This enables Oregon/Dakota/other new GPS users to upload several .img files to their GPS without them conflicting.

 

Also if you have not noticed it yet, I rewrote the homepage to more clearly show what can be done with the openmtbmaps, and updated the screenshots which were outdated by nearly 2 years and uploaded a new map legend showing both the GPS TYP-files as well as the Mapsource/Qlandkarte GT layout. I have also included a page for screenshots of the openmtbmap on gps . It would be nice if you could send me screenshots made with Garmin X-image so I can put some content onto the site (showing the map, or showing autorouting instructions, and so on...)

Map Updates 18.3.2011

The main change for this weeks map updates is that for the "wide" layout I widened most lines in resolution 24 to 22 (so when zoomed in rather close) by 1 pixel. Actually the difference to the classic typfile was too small. There is no new mkgmap version this time, I expect to be using a newer version which hopefully improves city to street matching for search function for the next update.

Besides I corrected a bug that tracks without any attributes were not correctly displayed using the trad mapsource/qlandkarte layout.

And for all layouts I corrected a bit again the design of plain tracks and of tracks with mtb:scale=0. Plus there was a tiny bug related to displaying beach volleyball court polygons.

On top a serious issue with the create_mapsource_file_with_mkgmap.bat running out of memory has been fixed (only relevant for big countries). This was due to some internal mkgmap change which caused my detection on proper mapset building to fail (the error became apparent once trying to send maps to gps with Mapsource/Basecamp - it would crash as soon as using the map selector tool)
