[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2013-10-08
These are based off of Lambertus's work here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl If you have questions or comments about these maps, please feel free to ask. However, please do not send me private mail. The odds are, someone else will have the same questions, and by asking on the talk-us@ list, others can benefit.

I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact of doing a large join on Lambertus's server. I've also cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently on removable media. http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2013-10-08 Can or should I seed the torrents? Yes!! If you use the .torrent files, please seed. That web server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this side of the Atlantic. Why is my map missing small rectangular areas? There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the red rectangles), I don't see any at the moment, so you may want to update if you had issues with the last set. Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card? If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from the factory. I had to reformat it to let me create a >2GB file. Does your map cover Mexico/Canada? Yes!! I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario in to the USA. Some areas of North America that are close to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps. This might not happen forever, and if you would like your non-US area to get included, let me know. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Current status with highway shields?
I don't think the extra complexity of the shields slows down the time it takes to render them. But the tiles themselves on the shield map take way longer to load than on osm.org (which is why I really want the shields on the main OSM website), which I guess is because of a slower tileserver. Also, would it be possible to render the shields on ferry routes? In the state of WA, many of the ferry routes are legally part of the highway system and as such, I've added them to the route relations. If this isn't possible, that's okay. I was just wondering. I appreciate your efforts in all this. Best luck in getting all the county highway shields to render; be glad you won't have any from my corner of this great nation!

Er, sorry about that. I've been extremely busy for about the past two months, and probably won't really have time to dedicate to the shields for at least another month or two. I did start experimenting with carto a while back, so when I have time for the shields again, that'll be a high priority item since, based on my experience so far, I don't think it'll be too hard to work in to the new stylesheet. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
