Does anyone know where I can find or have the directions for loading multiple maps that were on the site before JaVaWa GMTK came out. I have tried to use the program but my Dutch is a little rusty and the google translation is just slightly less confusing. I'm thinking someone has probably asked this before so i apologize. I did a forum search but could not find and answer. Thank you for your help.

Perhaps this tool (MapRenamer) from the same author will help you out 🙂

Hi - how often the tiles used to generate the country maps (fast to download) are refreshed from OSM? I'm asking this since I updated some streets in OSM afew days ago, they are now available through OSM web interface and I'm wondering if I get my country map today I will get them!

Thanks

That would be very nice if the Garmin maps were updated that fast, but unfortunately that isn't the case.

During the last year the maps have been updated approx. once or twice per month but I aim to do it every week and the new servers make that possible. Look at the date listed below the slippy map on the website to see if the map has been updated recently. That date reflects the date at which I started the update. I'm always using the planet dump for a new map version which is usually released on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

So if, for example, the date below the map lists the 14th of May then the data in the maps are from the planet dump released on May 12 or 13. In this particular case edits up to May 11 should be visible in the Garmin maps.
