Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

Hi,

I'm pretty new to openstreetmap and use Qlandkarte and Qmapshack on Ubuntu. After I downloaded the tiles for South Korea and opened the map in Qlandkarte I did not know which img file is my basemap. I tried one by one but always only saw one tile of South Korea and the rest was blank. Only with the help of #qlandkarte I learnt that I have to use one of the ovm_*.img filesand then zoom in far enough. Only at scale <=10km the other tiles would start showing up (see http://postimg.org/image/eziodmnr5/ how it initially looks).
The much more knowledgeable guys in #qlandkarte pointed out that the archive I downloaded is missing a basemap. I thought I share that with you. Is it possible to add a basemap easily? And maybe it helps other novice users of qlandkarte/garmin.openstreetmap.nl.

Here an excerpt of the conversation in #qlandkarte:
21:16] <k> For me this is just a malformed map
[21:18] <k> I wonder, because that site is well known, but probably they focus more on ready made gmapsupp
[21:18] <z> The ready-made gmapsupp contains a valid basemap.
[21:21] <z> http://osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/ga … 28bf91e7d/
[21:21] <z> There's a zip file with tiles
[21:23] <k> ok, maybe someone should tell them, that a simple basemap is missing
[21:23] <k> btw the basemap is not part of the gmapsup
[21:24] <k> but your command creates a simple one from the bounding box
[21:33] <k> usually it's fine if the basemap contains the bounding box and a box for each tile
[21:33] <k> these boxes are used to select tiles to be combined into a gmapsupp
[21:34] <k> but since the new devices this is not done very often anymore
[21:35] <k> thus a bounding box will do
