Note that there is currently no support for serial or Palm devices. MapManager copies maps and unlock codes into the right place to be accessible by MapInstall and Training Center. To migrate the maps from your Windows PC, download MapConverter onto your PC and follow the instructions. System Requirements: Intel based Mac running OS 10.10 or higher.
1024 MB RAM (2048 MB recommended) USB port. and install MapConverter for Windows to convert your unlocked PC maps for use on your Mac.
About the Maps – Please Read Maps are available Worldwide. They are usually updated every Friday. An installation guide and general MAC OSX specific Tutorial can be found Short Instructions: 1. Make sure you have installed (as well as – well why would you download it otherwise?). ATTENTION – MapInstall 4.2.0 is partly broken.
It will come as Update with Basecamp 4.7.0 but can also update via other Garmin Tools. Best downgrade – see also here: 2. Download the map of your choice 3. I recommend (requires v3.0 or newer because i use the relatively new lzma2 algorythm, I recommend to always use the newest version). The Mac OSX inbuilt unarchive program is not compatible. Please use “unpack here” and not “unpack to folder x”.
Double-Click on the unzipped gmap folder or move the unarchived folder to: /Users/PUTYOURUSERNAMEHERE/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps/ (in this case I think you don’t even need to install Garmin MapInstall and MapManager for Mac.). Before you send the maps to your GPS – read the “Change Layout” instructions below the downloads – to change the layout of the maps to the one most suitable for your GPS/ your usage. ( If you cannot open the gmap folder/package here is a trick: The GMAP file is a package, thus via the finder you can select the menu “show package content”. You can reach the correct folder only if you allow the finder to show hidden files (from command line type ‘defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true’ and then killall finder) – infact you need to enter the folder Library in your home. Once this is done you can copy and paste the typ (layout) and the info (counturlines) files as needed and then send to the GPS via map install.) – Map Data All maptiles are compiled with using map data from & Contributors. You can use and edit the map data by visiting.
Thanks to for providing the map data which I use to create the maps. Thanks to for the best DEM (contourlines) available on the net. — For Copyrights please see the Installer or if you unextract the installer see the file copyright.txt. Programs to Display the Mac OSX Velomap Please use the latest Garmin Mac OSX Basecamp Version.
Maps are not compatible with Basecamp v2 or older (as well with other old Garmin Mac OSx programs). Problems – Help – Tutorials Beginners Guide can be found here: Send Maps to GPS with Basecamp/Mapinstall: I recommend to always send maps to an external data card and not internal memory.
(this way if something goes wrong, or maps would be damaged you run less danger of wrecking your GPS). An installation guide and general MAC OSX specific Tutorial can be found Please also read the Change Map Layout: All maps have a folder called “Layout Files”. In it you find all different layouts. To change the layout, simply go to /Users/PUTYOURUSERNAMEHERE/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps/mtbgermany.gmap/LayoutFiles (i.e. For Germany), copy the typfile.typ, and paste it into the main installation folder of the map (i.e.
/Users/PUTYOURUSERNAMEHERE/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps/mtbgermany.gmap/ ). (don’t cut/paste it, else it becomes difficult to change back/forward between map layouts). By default the contourlines are enabled in the maps, and will be visible. If you prefer the maps without contourlines, you have 2 possibilities. Either just deselect the option to show contourlines in the options menu of Basecamp.
Or go to the “Layout Files” folder, and select info.xml from the “RemoveContourlines” folder. If you use the modified info.xml, contourlines will also not be sent to your GPS.
To reenable the contourlines, go to “IntegrateContourlnes” folder and copy/paste the info.xml you find in it. ( If you cannot open the gmap folder/package here is a trick: The GMAP file is a package, thus via the finder you can select the menu “show package content”. You can reach the correct folder only if you allow the finder to show hidden files (from command line type ‘defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true’ and then killall finder) – infact you need to enter the folder Library in your home. Once this is done you can copy and paste the typ (layout) and the info (counturlines) files as needed and then send to the GPS via map install.) Current Issues The address search is not working consistently. Most problems are due to inconsistent data structures in OSM address data.
– General: Autorouting over longer distances on GPS works only with Via Points. – Autorouting needs attributes like tracktype, bicycle routes, mtb:scale, sacscale, mtb routes and others to work well. So keep care to enter those details into OSM. (not all are needed, but enough for me to guesstimate wheter a street is cyclefriendly/mtbriendly or not). – Non Connected ways and overlapping ways without node, this is the main problem and a problem of the underlaying map data – please check here: Only check/enable: “almost Junctions”, “intersections without junctions” as well as “overlapping ways”. This helps you to quickly spot the erros.
You can then follow the link to Potlatch (or also JOSM is integrated for JOSM users) and quickly correct mistakes! Watch out not to connect ways that are not connected in reality (i.e. A way crosses another on a brigde, here no connecting node is the right solution). – If you use Windows 2000 you may need to install the “reg” command: Reg cmd at Microsoft. Batches are incompatible to earlier Windows versions. – Note sometimes sea is missing.
This is not an issue, but currently not differently possible. It is usually a problem in OSM data. Notice on Updating Maps If you want to be notified by email on map updates please go to the frontpage and enter your email address in the subscribe field of the left sidebar.
You only get an e-mail when there are changes besides a simple map data update. Map updates are usually every Thursday night / Friday morning. You can look at the server to see the date of map upload. To update the maps, simply overwrite the old data or use Mapinstall. Overlapping maps in border regions While you can join maps of different countries, routing over the boundary is a bit shaky, and you will have one map overlaying the other with white background.
As long as mkgmap cannot create randomly shaped overview maps (currently only rectangles), this problem is not solvable. There is however the possibility to download a Europe map, which will be updated every 4-6 weeks. Velomap and Openmtbmap of the same Country — Problems If you install an openmtbmap and a VeloMap of the same country with contourlines as separate download (and Spain as well as Canary Islands), you should only send the contourlines once (meaning with either Openmtmbap or Velomap of the country). Else you GPS might not show the maps, or worse not even start until maps are deleted. Therefore: Install one map without conoturlines.
Install openmtbmap Europe with contourlines, but do not install the contourlines for Velomap Europe. — This is not a problem with countries where contourlines are fully integrated like Germany, Alps, Austria, Compatibility – Standard (Unicode) vs Non Unicode (cannot authenticate maps) In general just download the Maps from the first “VeloMap” tab – they are in unicode if useful. If you get the message – “cannot authenticate maps”, and you have you have one of the following devices:. All Garmin devices presented 2016 or newer.
Edge 1000,820,520. Epix. Etrex 20x / 30x (not “etrex 30”).
Etrex Touch 25/35. GPS Maps 64 series. Montana 610, 680 (not 600 / 650). Oregon 700,750. Some recent Nuvi devices – as well as some super old devices that do not support Unicode.
Garmin Vista C, GPS Maps 60 C) you will need to download the “non unicode” version of the map instead. So get the map from the “non unicode openmtbmap” tab instead. Only maps of regions where several different scripts are used – are in unicode. If Latin is the predominant script – then of course no unicode map is offered.
If your device can display Unicode maps – then of course get the standard version – meaning Unicode. Feedback Please comment if you like theese maps or even better tell other people about them (forums, blog about it, twitter, etc) In case maps break Basecamp or don’t work – please write exactly which downloads don’t work and the time of download as well as your OS and Mapsource version. Before posting problems please read through here and here though And don’t forget if you have problems unpacking the maps –.7z is a container, the actual compression I use is the very modern lzma2, most.7z archives however use the older lzma compression, therefore make your you use the latest Unarchiver or another program that can unpack lzma2! Velomap maps Premium Download in Mac OSx format (gmap) Upon several requests, I have decided to make available the most popular velomaps also available for download in Mac OSx gmap format for Basecamp. This saves you the hassle of converting them. All countries will however only be available for download for velomap members.
Austria is available as a download to everyone, so you can try it out. So to try it out download the Map of Austria: There are md5 checksums and filesizes now for every download. In the MD5 file you can also quickly check the last update time.
Contourlines Downloads Most countries, especially the popular ones, have the contourlines already integrated. However for several countries the contourlines are rather large (rule of thumb if contourlines have more data than the maps) and I integrate them, but you need to download them separately (once). In general it is fine to only update the map, as I try to change the contourlines as seldom as possible. Continents. Australia-Oceania. Asia:. Africa:.
Europe:. South America:. North America:. Non Unicode Maps – Only offered for Non Latin Using Countries You will need to download the Non Unicode Version if you have one of the following devices:. All Garmin devices presented 2016 or newer. Edge 1000,820,520. Epix.
Etrex 20x / 30x (not “etrex 30”). Etrex Touch 25/35. GPS Maps 64 series.
Montana 610, 680 (not 600 / 650). Oregon 700,750. Some recent Nuvi devices – as well as some super old devices that do not support Unicode.
Garmin Vista C, GPS Maps 60 C) This is due to a firmware bug that Garmin introduced as part of their efforts to cut down on people “pirating” their maps. However by doing that they also cut down on Unicode maps produced by mkgmap or even some of their old (legitimate) maps which are not running anymore on these devices.
You will know that you need to use the Non Unicode map if on boot your GPS device tells you to “unlock maps”. Why is the Europe Map in Unicode? Well for example in Greece and some Eastern Europe countries the script is Cyrillic not latin – and only Unicode maps can contain both scripts in one map. So the non unicode map will not correctly show labels in such countries. Use the country non unicode map instead.
They are always in the predominant script of the country. Note1: if you install the non Unicode version of a map – you will overwrite the Unicode map. You can only have either or installed. Here only those countries are listed – where the standard download is Unicode.
If you don’t find a country here – look at the standard downloads. Contourlines are identical to Unicode maps. Note4 – local language maps of: Sri-Lanka, Nepal and Cambodia are in latin1 – so the local language maps are not very useful. There is no ANSI Codepage available (besides Unicode) that would support the script/garmin units. Israel-Palestine map is in hebrew (so the Palestine area is not useful). Afghanistan codepage is for Dari – Pashto is not supported outside of Unicode. Hello Extremecarver, I’m having a problem.
Maps and routes aren’t downloading to my Garmin Edge 1000. After unsuccessfully trying everything I can think of, I uninstalled everything and started over.
I use a MacBookPro with Yosemite, so I’ve reinstalled the Mac versions of Basecamp, Map Manager, Map Installer and Unarchiver, then downloaded the Mac versions of both the full Europe file and also the additional Europefiles you recommend. Problem is, when I go to open the downloaded map files I get a message that they can’t be opened with Unarchiver.
They simply won’t open. I don’t know what to try next.
Your thoughts? Rick Hubbard. Kann es sein, dass heute die Generierung von Mac-Karten abgebrochen wurde?
