Judging by some of the rambling you do on the KLX..
You should have some nice new contributions for OSM.
Something we can all use to go and check out :-)

You are quite right Brian. I just need to find the time to work out how to do it and then the time to do it. But you have given the instructions above, so I'll have a look.
Thanks
Ian
 
I came across a great find today. OSM maps on Andriod smartphones. Go to Google Playstore and search for OSMAnd and install that. Then add the world map and local countries (eg Thailand, Laos, etc). I was exploring the Laos OSM map in OSMAnd and comparing against Google Maps, and its pretty detailed.

I also followed the instructions posted for generating Garmin maps and generated a map for my old Nuvi. Not got round to loading it onto my Nuvi as I can't seem to find a Mini USB cable.

Anyhow I think the Garmin GPSs are looking old tech now, especially when you can use smartphones for a couple of thousand baht.

OSMAnd allows you to add POIs, which will get uploaded back to OSM once you are reconnected with the net. It also updates itself from time to time from the net, and its default behaviour is to allow offline usage.

There is also another Andriod app called Navfree that can use OSM maps. However this does not seem as good as OSMAnd.

So you could have your Garmin GPS and an Andriod phone as well, providing backup for each other?
 
Hi,

OSMAnd is the free version.

For 240 baht you can get OSMAnd plus.

The free version only allows 10 map downloads.

Pretty cheap price for the plus version which goes towards supporting osm.

Sorry Fellas.
Seems the file uploaded gained a .txt extension.

Just change the file name to remove .txt and leave .img.

Will upload tomorrow on my GPS.. any issues will repost the file.

Hi,
Basically the same core data. Using osm.
Added his own whistles and bells - the beauty of open source.
I have not used the night rider version. But believe big plus is the routing through bangkok letting you know where bikes can't go.. Toll ways bridges etc.

Cheers
Brian
