Damals bin ich bei der Suche nach freien Karten für mein Garmin GPS Gerät auf OSM aufmerksam geworden. Aktuelles Das Worldfile besteht nun ab sofort aus fünf Teilen, da die Einzelteile zu groß werden um auf einer FAT- Partition gespeichert zu werden. Da seit der Lizenzumstellung der Planetdump recht unregelmäßig erstellt wird, wird bis auf weiteres ungefähr einmal monatlich eine aktuelle Karte erstellt. The Worldfile consists as from now on 5 parts, because the parts are to big to save on a FAT partition. Momentane Tätigkeiten bei Openstreetmap Betreiben und weiterentwickeln eines Verfahrens für die automatische Berechnung einer Garmin-Karte aus dem Planet-Datensatz, hier lege ich besonderen Wert darauf, daß die Karten auch auf älteren Geräten ohne typ-File funktionieren. Kartendateien / Maps vom 19.

Neuigkeiten In fast allen Karten kann jetzt hausnummergenau gesucht werden. News You can now search by housenumbers in nearly all maps. RSS-Feed. Editor for Garmin TYP files. This utility will generate special TYP file, which can be used for identification of element types used in map. With older (not NT) maps, identification was easy. You could just open map in gpsMapEdit and look at "Map properties / Statistics" page. Or you could look directly into map, and element types were immediately visible, so you knew that river is for example type=0x42. New (NT) maps have different structure (GMP), and gpsMapEdit cannot open them. And because there is so much new element types (starting from 0x100), it is really hard to tell what type and subtype was used for different elements. So here comes this utility. With this special TYP file you can use some free screen-pixel-reader (for example Pixie ), point mouse on questionable polygon, line, or POI and look at it's color value.

When you are finished with all major polygons (basemap area, cities background, etc.), enter their types and subtypes into "exclude" fields above, and generate new TYP. For example: Maps: Custom Garmin maps. GEOFABRIK Downloadbereich. Tile Splitter. The format used for Garmin maps has, in effect, a maximum size, meaning that you have to split an .osm file that contains large well mapped regions into a number of smaller tiles.

Tile Splitter

This program does that. There are at least two stages of processing required. The first stage is to calculate what area each tile should cover, based on the distribution of nodes. The second stage writes out the nodes, ways and relations from the original .osm file into separate smaller .osm files, one for each area that was calculated in stage one. With option keep-complete=true, two additional stages are used to avoid broken ways and polygons. The two most important features are: Variable sized tiles so that you don't get a large number of tiny files.Tiles join exactly with no overlap or gaps. First You will need a lot of memory on your computer if you intend to split a large area.

The Europe extract from Cloudmade or Geofabrik can be processed within the 2G limit if you have sufficient memory. Download Usage. Mkgmap. Mkgmap is a command line utility that converts OpenStreetMap data into vector maps that can be loaded onto a Garmin GPS device.

Mkgmap

It does the conversion in one step without depending on any other program. Mkgmap only supports the OSM map data format. Mkgmap main features Creates maps for Garmin GPS devices using OSM data Full control which OSM data is integrated into the map (style system) Full control how POIs, streets and all other elements are displayed (TYP file compiler) Full address search support Routing support Many options for fine control over the map creation process Download Get the latest version from the mkgmap download page.

Warning for Ubuntu / Debian / Other linux distributions Some linux distros package mkgmap. Creating a map Creating a map consists of several steps. Download OSM data Split the OSM data into tile using the tile splitter Create your own map style files (optional) Compile the tiles with mkgmap Upload the map to your GPS Command line options Known issues.
