An improved tag-mapping of the openandromaps ensures that all campsites and caravansites tagged in the OpenStreetMap Database are rendered with the openandromaps.
– For Locus please download the latest themes
– The new themes for Oruxmaps are included in zip-files of the maps as usual.
This applies for all maps from 20.5.2013 on (dd.mm.yyyy)

The switch to the new download-server is done, please flush your browsercache and reconfigure your grabbing scripts.
I would kindly ask you to check the configuration of your favorite grabbing tool to ensure that they dont run in a loop and download the same map again and again 😉
The maps on GoogleDrive will stay online, but I wont update them any more – the Maps on mega.co.nz will be deleted next week.
Best regards, Christian
Openandromaps are currently being switched step by step to a non-commercial, professional Download-Server.
The maps will be served from the same server that hosts the “Geofabrik” – thanks to everyone who supported this move.
This step was a crucial point for the whole project couse it was clear to see that GoogleDrive would stop this sooner or later, there were already problems this March.
Currently more than 200 Maps are served from openandromaps, this means 70GB of disc-space and lots of Terrabytes of traffic every month – a volume that is not possible to serve with a commercial server with no budget.
The move starts with Germany and Europe and should be finished next weekend. If there are any problems please drop me a line.
Best regards, christian
BTW: Currently the maps are synced by ftp with the server – a clear nonsense currently accepted by the server-admin.
However, next weeks should see a Synology-NAS-System for syncing by rsync – this will cost another 350Euros, I hope you will support this project by some bucks (a few are better than none) 😉
Germany: Now has its own download page.
I added all states as seperate files for those with small data-accounts.
Europa: Ukraine is now available in cyrillic too.
Africa, Oceania: new rendered
China: The coplete coverage is now ready for download
Japan: For the first time whole Japan is available for download.
Comming next week: Russia both in english and cyrillc
Best regards, Christian
Russia now have its own download section due to its size.
At the moment these maps are rendered in english language (as far as tagged in Openstreetmap), in the future – after completing coverage and finetunning – the maps will be available both in english and cyrillic.
Available at the moment: Caucasia, Central, Ural-South, Volga
The database of Russia is of excellent quality, thanks to the russian cummunity!
Best regards, Christian
Now made possible with the new Rendermachine:
Germany and France with complete coverage and combined Cycle/Hikeroutes
Germany:
The Mapping of Germany is made in the same way as the Netherlands to ensure sufficiant loading times, the downside is that this adds some MB to the mapsize – not a big issue in times of 64GB SD-Cards
The seperated cycle/Hike maps for Germany will stay in the portfolio – maybe they will be replaced by smaler maps with the coverage of the German states.
France:
The French map is redered with a special mapping that ensures fast loading times. If you like this mapping it is possible to use it for other big maps in the future. The France South/Mid/North maps will be discontinued with the next update.
Update of the complete European mapset:
All maps now contain the tags for additional cycle barriers:
<pois> <osm-tag key="barrier" value="bollard" zoom-appear="16" /> <osm-tag key="barrier" value="cycle_barrier" zoom-appear="16" /> <osm-tag key="barrier" value="gate" zoom-appear="16" /> <osm-tag key="barrier" value="lift_gate" zoom-appear="16" /> <osm-tag key="barrier" value="chain" zoom-appear="16" /> </pois>
Currently these tags are not rendered in the standard Renderthemes. However, MTB-enthusiasts will manage to add these to their custom Themes.
BUT: keep in mind that in the current version of Mapsforge pois are not rendered 100% reliable, so keep two fingers at the brake levers 😉

The long awaited maps for Canada are now available, only Ontario and the NW-Territories + Novanut are still mising and will be added ASAP.
Now available:
If there are Problems with these maps please drop me a line with a permalink of the region in question – the datastructure of the millions of lakes in some areas are most complicted (Monster relations with thousands of members) and may lead to problems with mapsforge.
On the way completing Asia three new maps were added:
– Mongolia
– China-West
– Kasakhstan
Rendering of these maps became possible with the new Rendermachine.
The apperence of Desert-areas now is improved in lower zoom levels, trunks and primary highways now appear at lower zoom levels.
The new rendemachine is up and running, all problems that occured during the upgrade are identified and solved.
So most of the European maps are updated, the renderthemes now render the names of big citys more reliable so the overview in low zoom-levels is improved. These themes are available for download and will be included in the map-zips with the next update.
I’m looking forward to offer a new, more complete, mapset for Canada in the oncomming weeks and an update of whole America – both north and south.
More than 50% of the costs of the new rendermachine were covered by – YOU – so I want to say thanks, and please support this project further on to keep it up.
Best regards, Christian
Mega.co.nz is going to be the 2.nd download source for openandromaps. It will last a few days (nights) to adapt my scripts because the download links change with every update – its impossible to maintain this by hand.
Concerning the bandwidth limit at Mega.co.nz I received the following Mail from support:
(translated to english)
Hi Christian,
The bandwidth limit is based on Clinet-IP and not on the account owner and is only valid when we experience shortages in our infrastructure. Its very unlikely that any downloader will ever run into this limits if he dont download several Gigabytes per hour.
The only problem could be coused by old browsers – Safari 5, IE9 und Firefox without our extensions have to work over flash-bridge.
I, by myself use Firefox with the Mega extension and Chrome without problems.
The red download-button points to files on Mega, the green to GDrive. The QR-Code still points to GDrive.
Actually available from Mega: Europe and Oceania – I’m waiting for your feedback bevore I upload more kontinents to Mega
Again: Please use Chrome with Mega
Best regards
Christian
