Yeay ! I managed to build my 1st map (Turkmenistan so I could compare it to Christian's map).
It works fine, and seems to be the same as Christian's

Christian, do you accept maps from contributors to help you populate your site and maintain it up to date ? I will probably try to build China, Korea, and other missing maps.

Hi beboitb,

The Maps for

iran_north
kyrgyzstan
tajikistan
turkmenistan
uzbekistan

are ready for download at
//http://www.openandromaps.org

Please report if they are usefull

Thank you Christian, the maps are gorgeous and certainly useful. I've loaded them all on my tablet and am browsing them right now.
With France_alps, Italy, greece and turky they use only 2.7GB total.

I haven't taken the time to try again to build them by myself yet.

I don't know yet where in China I will go. I still have to study the interesting places I want to visit.

a Perl-Script that
- converts the GPX to Poly

Could you share that ? Maybe you also know something to convert from kml tracks. This is what I get inside a Google Earth generated kml:

Thanks, now I understand what tag-mapping.xml is used for. It reminds me settings about visibility in a telecom software (Actix) that uses Mapinfo I think.

Thank you Christian !

I am reprocessing the elevation data right now.
Your website looks really good, I'm going to try to download one of your maps and have it load in Locus. I may try Turkey.

The countries I should be crossing are:
France
Italy
Greece
Turkey
Iran
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Tajikistan
Kirghyzstan
China
South Korea

And maybe:
Japan
Vietnam

Are you using custom polygons ? Can you recommend a tool ? For my first try (tajikistan) I used a polygon I found online, I think it is the official from openstreetmaps, it is heavy with 3458 lines.

[[highly recommended]]

4.1.1 [highly recommended] after the pyghtmap has downloaded hgt elevation data, you can kill phyghtmap and use srtmfill utility to fix "null" data in hgt files (I had a lot of null/invalid data so i had to fix them all). before proceeding to next step you have to run phyghtmap command again so the osm file will be created from valid elevation data.

Hello, I'm trying to build my maps before leaving for a long bicycle trip from France to China.
I've used phyghtmap with that command:

Code Select Expand

C:Python27Scripts>phyghtmap.exe --polygon=Z:osmmypolysturkmenistan.poly -o
Z:osmelevationturkmenistan_srtm6 --source=view1,view3,srtm1,srtm3  -s 20 -c 2
00,100 --start-node-id=20000000000 --start-way-id=10000000000 --write-timestamp
 --max-nodes-per-tile=0And my output is that file: turkmenistan_srtm6_lon51.83_66.71lat35.12_42.86_view3.osm (1.8 GB)
I can't find any hgt file to process with SRTMFill, can you help me locate them ?

On the other side, I prepared also the osm extract:

Code Select Expand

C:osmosis-0.40.1bin>osmosis.bat --rx z:osmasia.osm --tee 1 --bp file="z:osm
mypolystajikistan.poly" --wx z:osmmap_sanseletajikistan.osmThe resulting file is:
tajikistan.osm (35 MB)

I'm surprised that the elevation map is 1.8 GB while the OSM map is 35 MB, is that possible ?
