News 1. June 2012

Well, I'm still having quite a busy time, so I didn't manage to write about changes during the last few weeks. Finally now a short overview about what is happening.

 

First of all, well the licence change at OSM seems to be taking its time, and is still not happening. I as many others can only expect it to happen soon…

 

Otherwise, except for the edge 800, all newer generation outdoor devices from Garmin have now gotten (sometimes beta) firmware updates, that solve the "memory full" bug that occured with garmin osm maps (only for maps that address search / index included). So except for edge 800, no more need to hard reset the unit to get rid of the problem.

 

There is a bug in mkgmap, that prevented the address search from working if gmapsupp got generated by mkgmap and both contourlines and maps were put into 1 gmapsupp (essentially it popped up the old dreaded "choose country" or "choose state"…. I now temporarily changed the create_gmapsupp_with_mkgmap script to not write address index for option 0. Option 3 or 4 work however without probs. The new create_gmapsupp_with_mkgmap.bat will be included in todays/tomorrows maps.
