Hello,
Finally Mapsforge based cyclemaps with contourlines are available for download.
Many weeks of coding led to a tool that completly rewrites the OpenStreetMap
dataset concerning the cycle relations bevore its feed into the Mapsforge mapwriter.
The quality of the routes is very,very close to the OpenCycleMap.
I'v set up a website with basic informations
- how to install them
- a map legend
- a high contrast render theme
Everone is encouraged to improve the render theme, its pretty easy.
Only ONE additional key with 8 values have to be rendered.
(Netherlands + Belgium need a second one for the cycle nodes)
A pefect base for a transparent theme would be jurajs hiking theme.
The maps are 100% compatible with the osmarender theme.
The borders of the maps are different from the OSM clipbounds,
eg. for Austria I added the border aera of the czech-republic, the NeusiedlerSee, complete Bodensee, Bratilslava, Deutsches Eck etc..
Big countrys are splitt into logical parts (France, Germany) doe to the limtations of my equipment.
If there is realy need of an additional communication platform I will set up a forum,
but - honestly I will try to avoid this.
Locus, Orux and Naviboard forums should be OK at a first glance.
So, now its time for me to start my training, the making of these maps added 4kg to my hips :shock: , maybe we will meet outdoors 8-)
So, here you can find the maps:

Update 2012-06-17
- Added Maps for Portugal and Spain
- All files moved back to GDrive doe to registration issues with Skydrive
Major Update 2012-06-16
- All Maps are updated with the newest OSM Dataset
- New process ensures accurate contourlines at the map borders
- France_South now contains the whole Pyraenes
- Render Theme for Locus updated, better Icons for Toilets and Water sources, some minor improvements
- QR-Codes added for direct download to Smartphone, however - I recommend to download the maps to PC, uncompress the files and upload by USB to phone.
- Most Maps are moved from GDrive to Skydrive
Update 2012-06-04
New German Maps: instead of 3 parts (North,Mid,South) the new maps are combined to North/South upon user request. The Maps already contain the additional cycle ways as mentioned below.
UPDATE 2012-05-30:
An user postet an issue concerning not correct rendered cycle ways in his area:
Problems:
- the designated cicle lanes: the key was to catch k="bicycle" v="designated" [done]
- pseudo relations: this was the first time I have seen them, some ways with keys like lcn=yes and rcn=yes are rendered in the OCM like route relations [done]
With the next mapping run (in a few weeks doe to my limited bandwidth) all maps will have the new resolving.
