@supermaz:

thanks very much. I'm currently downloading the map and will test if there are whitespaces too. I'll provide an update!

UPDATE:
supermaz, I tried your germany.map, and there are no whitespaces in Cologne (Köln). Very interesting.
So, whats wrong with the mapsforge map, is it corrupt although the md5 checksums match?

Again, thanks for this map. For me it is perfect! Maybe you can upload it to berkleys storage - for all others out there.

Thx, Robert

Don't know if it's the museum - I only see some white spaces ;-)
I just tested what jusc reported. I openend Locus and searched for "Köln", and saw the white spaces that jusc reported.
Then I took my screenshots with the advanced map viewer (same behaviour as Locus)... (zoomlevel 10/11 were buggy, all others worked for me as well)

Of cource, you can upload the germany map, then we will test it.
Maybe the guys from mapsforge comment on the bug reports from jusc and me in the meantime.

Edit: I also tried it with C:Geo (open-source) and there also is this bug. So it's either a mapsforge or a mapdata bug. (but md5sum is correct).

Btw, great community!

Robert

Could you give me coordinates where this happens because i can't find this on my map which i converted myself.

N 50°56.440', E 06°57.595 (Köln, Cologne)

Hi,

with the official Advanced Map Viewer 0.2.4, the white spaces around cologne exist, too - so it seems to be a mapsforge bug.

See the Bug Report on mapsforge bug tracking system :
//http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/issues/detail?id=164

I also added some screenshots there, to get a better understanding of the problem ;-)

Hi jusc,

I´m not sure. MD5 of germany-0.2.4.map from 2011/08/07 is ok, but problem (white screen) at level 10 near Clologne (Köln) on Motorola Defy.
I would say: "Same as before"
J.

You are right! I can confirm that there are problems with white screen at level 10/11 in Cologne. levels >= 12 are shown correctly.
I just tested Nuremberg ;-( Sorry about that.

As far as I understood, these problems are (possibly) caused by the mapsforge library... Shall we forward this issue to their bug tracking system, menion?

Greets, Robert

Hi folks,

regarding my reported problem with the germany-0.2.4.map, I can provide an update.

It seems that the downloads were broken, although they seemed to have the right file size (~1GB).
The third download of the map - now with a download helper program which checks the MD5 Checksum - was successful and now the Map works fine.

So, if anyone has problems with white spaces in higher zoom levels of vector maps, check if the md5 checksum is correct!

Thanks to all for the support,
Robert

Hi supermaz,

thanks for your reply.

as these should be vector maps, they should be independet of the zoomlevel. Are you sure that there is a zoomlevel restriction? How big is the file?

I checked my file :
germany-0.2.4.map, 992.41M, 25/07/2011...

As far as I remember, the download didn't brake. Interesting point is, that zoomlevels <= 11 are working. Zoomlevels above 11 are only displayed white.
Locus doesn't seem to be the problem, because in cgeo it doesn't work either ... (ok, i know, they also use the mapsforge lib, but you never know   ).

Hmmm, if no one else has any proposals, I will try to download the germany map a second time to doublecheck that the download is not corrupt.

Thanks, Robert

Hi all,

Thanks for the link in the second post, the vector maps work great.
I wonder if there is also a complete germany.osm.map file anywhere?

I tried using the germany.0.2.4.map from mapsforge ftp,  but this doesn't work for zoom levels > 11.

Thanks in advance, Robert
