[Talk-us] Whole-US Garmin Map update - 2016-06-30
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. Downloads: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2016-06-30 Map to visualize what each file contains: http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2016-06-30/kml/kml.html FAQ Why did you do this? 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/2016-06-30 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
[Talk-us] WikiProject United States Bicycle Route System
Hello fellow national bicycle map enthusiasts, and Happy Birthday, USA: Please see our wiki at https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/WikiProject_U.S._Bicycle_Route_System for latest status, where you'll see our project is now ~97% complete. There remains some mileage to enter, for which OSM has official state DOT route data and explicit AASHTO permission: USBR 7 in Connecticut (new route, lightly seeded in the south), USBR 7 in Massachusetts (new route, lightly seeded in the north), USBR 7 in Vermont (from Autumn 2015, about 30% done: from Canada south to Burlington), USBR 321 in Georgia (from Autumn 2015 route, additional spur off of USBR 21, lightly seeded) USBR 521 in Georgia (from Autumn 2015 route, additional spur off of USBR 21, lightly seeded) There are also some minor improvements to two routes in Alaska yet to be entered, details are on the wiki. Especially if you are local, and/or a bicycle enthusiast, you are most welcome to please help OSM complete these last 3% of our national bicycle routes, all now fully approved by AASHTO! Your reward is to see the new routes "blossom" on our Cycle Map layer, as well as that great feeling of making OSM the world's best map for United States Bicycle Routes. To add or improve national bicycle route(s) to OSM, whether segments of USBR 7 in Western New England, spurs in Georgia, or improvements in Alaska, please, “just read our wiki and GO!” Regards, SteveA WikiProject USBRS coordinator ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
