Title: Vectormaps don't show up
Post by: pixelmeister on January 14, 2012, 09:39:41
Hi,

I've created my own map from OSM-Data with osmosis/map-file-writer like described on: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Locus (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Locus)

I have copied the .map file ti sd_card/locus/MapsVector.

Now they dont show up in Locus.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for support

Hi menion,

i had no Problem generating the map.
But i cant load it in locus.
The map is in the sd_card/locus/MapsVector Folder. When i go to the Vector Tab in the Maps MenĂ¼ there is no map.
Olso when i try to import the Map with the Data-Icon "Local File" and navigate to the Folder, it doesnt show the Map.

Thanks for Quick answer

Best would be, you send a smaller map. But for sharing BIG files, I recommend http://multiupload.com/ (http://multiupload.com/)

Cheers

Hi,
is there a folder sd_card/external_sd/locus/MapsVector too? Then try this one.

The question is: works this map in other tools? eg AdvancedMapViewer http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/down ... -0.2.4.apk (http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/downloads/detail?name=AdvancedMapViewer-0.2.4.apk)

O.K. I made a smalle map of my ho,ecountry and it works well.
I did it with the same osmosis command and Version - and on the same machine. So what could be wrong? I hadn't any errors when i rendered the german map... It just took averry long (10 hours or so...)

I will try it again on a bigger server with more ram.

Thanks all for your quick help.

try it please also on application suggested by gynta. Because if there will be same problem, then it's not issue on Locus side ...

O.K. I tested my selfgenerated map (germany.osm.map) with AdvancedMapViewer like recomended from gynta.
It works perfect.

So. What next?

I downloaded the germany.map from Mapsforge. This works good in Locus.
The problem is, I like to view my own generated Maps from OSM-Data, because I work on a Project wirth osm files.
