That's what I assumed had to be happening. If a single intersection was missing from the map, it wouldn't fail to calculate a route, it would just find a different one that wasn't in fact the shortest path. But if it can't find any way to the destination there must be a chunk of the map that's

[OSM-talk] Routing on OSM maps on a Garmin device

2010-06-14 Thread Maarten Deen
I have a Garmin Nüvi 205 which I normally load with an OSM map if I go to Germany. The standard map on the device is NL-BE-FR with bordersections of DE. Usually I get the tiles I need from Lambertus, but yesterday I took the basemap for germany from All_in_one_Garmin_Map. While I was at the far

FWIW, I have seen similar problems with my Vista HCx (and Garmin RoadTrip on my mac!) failing to find a route where Cloudmade happily finds one. Perhaps the multi-tile routing problems mentioned at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/routing/issues#Errors_calculating_long_inter-tile_routes
