Hi Lambertus,

Thanks for this great service!

I've DL'ed the Netherlands yesterday and found some difference in detail in de downloaded version and the OSM webpage. i.e. the forest below Breda. Is this version static or is it updated in a certain period? I'm looking for as much as detail I can get.

Grtz lteunis

i've had a look at that forest, but could not see any tagging problems with it. So it could be a Mkmgap thing.

The maps are updated weekly (mostly) with the latest Mkgmap version.

Great service and thanks for providing it. But what I was wanting to do is download a heap of maps for my coming trip to Europe for 3 Months I will be travelling all over Mainland Europe, England, Scotland, Ireland and even down to Egypt and wanted to get all the maps downloaded in advance (Not sure of internet connection while away) and have them in Mapsource so I could use them as I need them. I ran into the problem of having to many tiles selected so reduced it to a few areas and downloaded them in a couple of sections and was hoping that they would combine in Mapsource but by the look of it it just over loads up the latest one. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to download more tiles in one file. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a limit to the amount of tiles you can select unfortunately. I had to install it to prevent leechers to download as much as possible, overloading the server as a result. I thought that the current limit would suffice for most genuine requests, but tiles are getting smaller so maybe I should up the limit a bit... Anyway you can also download a number of separate requests as you've already done but there's a catch: all map requests have the same productnumbers: install two and you'll only see the latest. There is a solution: use Mkgmap or another application (e.g. MapSetToolKit or sendmap) to join the tiles from different requests yourself.
