Vi prego di aiutarmi ad avere schermate carine dai vostri GPS con X-image mentre visualizzano le Openmtbmap !!!!!
Qualsiasi immagine bella presa dai GPS Garmin,PDA o Smartphone mentre visualizzano le openmtbmap. Meglio se con l'Autorouting o tracce e curve di livello visibili.
(se caricate meno di 3 schermate, vi chiedo di darmi la liberatoria dal copyright - così da non dovere mettere nei crediti un lungo elenco di persone).
Semplicemente mandatemi un email con le schermate.
Oregon:
(Layout Classico nelle prime 2 schermate, Layout Wide le restanti).
Nüvi 200:
Gpsmap 62
(Notare che le basse risoluzioni sul GPS fanno sembrare le schermate molto piccole sullo schermo), Layout "thin" (come consigliato):
Vista HCx
Layout "thin". Notare che se volete usarlo per la Mountain Bike, io raccomando il Layout "classic", che ha le strade più larghe. Tuttavia dentro le città con la bicicletta, il layout "thin" va comunque molto bene.
Le prime con zoom 5km per una panoramica fino a ad un dettaglio di 50m. Da notare che la mappa è solo così "affollata" perchè Vienna è una grande città. In campagna la mappa risulta un pò più pulita mentre si aumenta lo zoom.
Le bandiere blu sono Punti di Interesse salvati localmente sul GPS e non fanno parte della mappa.
Esempio di seguire una rotta calcolata.
Hallo extremecarver
Super dank für deine tolle arbeit!
Welches layout empfiehlst du fürs etrex 30?
Bin v.a. am wandern, geocachen und paragliden…
Danke für deine infos und an gruass us davos
Dani
In dem Fall hiking (sonst classic).
Hall extremecarver
Danke für die Info, das Hiking Layout passt mir gut. Nun habe ich aber ein anderes Problem. Die neue Karte mit dem Hiking Layout ist zu gross fürs Gerät, und dennoch hätte ich gerne die ganze Karte drauf. Ich hab also (mit dem Mac) das File der gestern installierten Karte gelöscht (in den Papierkorb gelegt). Im Finder sehe ich das File nicht mehr. Dennoch aber wird mir nicht mehr Speicherplatz angezeigt. Kann das sein, dass wenn ich auf dem Garmin-Gerät ein File lösche, der entsprechende Speicherplatz NICHT freigegeben wird? Und wenn ja – wie kann ich das ändern?
Danke und an Gruass
Dani
Sorry, da kenne ich mich beim Mac nicht aus. Unter Windows/Linux ist ein löschen auf einer SD Karte unwiderruflich – bzw wird der Papierkorb am lokalen – also nicht externen Datenträger benutzt). Wenn der Mac einen Papierkorb auf der Speicherkarte des GPS Gerätes angelegt hat – dann versuch ihn via Papierkorb dort zu löschen (oder lasse dir auch versteckte/Systemordner generell anzeigen). Die Karten selbst liegen nur im /garmin Ordner auf der SD Karte – und seitens Garmin gibts da auch keine Papierkörbe, etc… Am besten eh einfach immer die SD Karte im Kartenleser benutzen – da nur so volle Geschwindigkeit…
Zur Not die Speicherkarte auf einem Linux/Windows System einlesen – zumindest unter Windows werden Defaultmäßig AFAIK auch versteckte Linux/Mac Ordner angezeigt (also Ordner die mit “.” beginnen).
Beim Mac ist die SD-Karte belegt solange die Daten im Papierkorb liegen. Da musst du den also erstmal leeren.
Ich rate dir auch “CleanMyDrive” runterzulassen, der löscht dann auch die Resource Forks u. andere Mac-Spezifische Dateien.
Hallo Extremecarver,
Gladly I paid up the 20 euro subscription fee, just to show the support for your good effort. Keep up the good work! Great job. I’ve already used several of your ready made maps, typically for walks (no routing required, but as many DETAILS as possible!)
Of course I also have a question: I’m trying to find a good typfile for the display on my Garmin Montana 650 with its large screen (272×480 pixels). The classic typefile seems to be nearly what I want, but several areas are not displayed, e.g., landuse=grass (much used in the Netherlands). As a reference, I like the standard openstreetmap mapnik style (can’t find an editable typfile), and I very pleased with the OnRoute Wandelkaart style (but hasn’t as many details as the Classic MTB typefile).
Reference: I work nearly exclusive with a Unix PC, so download .exe file, 7z all files and then use mkgmap to create a gmapsupp.img for a country (NL, IT), which I then rename “OSM-NL.img” and move to the SD card in my USB mounted Garmin.
What typfile do you recommend, or how can I easily create (under Unix) what I want?
Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim van Dorst
well, landuse=grass is not in the maps at all. Yes it looks nice, but has it ever helped you on orienation?
White background == good contrast. Green Background == sucks. Hence I removed grass from my maps, as grass for me can be considered as empty map.
what other osm objects do you miss?
Classic seems in general fine for the resolution. If you need wider streets, even better contrast, you could use wide layout. If you want less contrast on roads, more contrast on landuse/natural you could give the desktop layout a try.
Hi extremecarver,
Thanks for the explanation that you’ve excluded landuse=grass. Yes, I does help me quite a bit to know whether I’ve got to cross a grassy area or a forest. Oh, the landuse=forest seems also to be missing. Intentional?
I’ve tried the wide, and I think I like the classic better: is it crispier. What TYP file would I use for the desktop layout? I don’t seem to have one. Any unix tool that I can use for editing a TYP file?
Met vriendelijke groeten, Wim van Dorst
Well forest of course should be in the map. However for the wide layout, I made forest pretty “white” too. Maybe the contrast on your GPS didn’t suffice for you to notice it. On the classic layout it is (at least for me) easy to distinguish.
What are you using the maps for?? Because if your mtbiking quickly in the forest, contrast of ways is the most important thing IMHO, so putting a bold green forest you cannot see the ways anymore.
As for Desktop layout, use the “trad” traditional Mapsource/Basecamp/Qlandkarte GT layout. It has much lower contrast, and hence nicer to work with. There are some online typfile editors, however I don’t really know how good and errorfree they are. Also mkgmap got a .typ-file compiler (and there is an java tool to decompile it to the format), but I haven’t yet found the time to fully try it out.
Yes, now you mention it: there is an off-white colouring, that could be forest.
I’m using the maps and the GPS mostly for geocaching, viz., walking in a forest or streets, and trying to determine whether I’ve got to search left in the shrubs or just across this field, or right in the trees. Also buildings etc are important: on which site would I need to search. The best colouring I’ve seen sofar are those of the OnRoute maps, but they are only for the Netherlands, not often updated (just once in all those years, AFAIK), and they cost a lot of money. I’d rather make my own maps off Openstreetmap. Hence the search for a good TYPfile and its editor, preferably on Unix.
okay, for leaving trails and ways, the situation is of course different. You could give the desktop layout a try, but it may be too low contrast. Or start with it and change it for more contrast.
