New rendermachine up and running, map and theme updates..

, ,

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 as 2nd download source now online!

,

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.

Download from Mega.co.nz starts now !

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

Google Drive on its Limit, 2nd Server in preparation

,

The demand for openandromaps has reached a level where Google Drive is on its limits (Limits that should not exist..). If you experience problems while download please check back half an hour later and avoid Saturday and Sunday evening.
Next weekend a 2nd download location will be available for testing, probably mega.co.nz.

Best regards, Christian

Procced to download: Japan maps at download/Asia

New Service: Sortable Download-tables

,

The tables on the download-pages are now sortable according:

  • Date of rendering
  • Name of the Map
  • Size of the map

So its pretty easy now to find the latest updates on the download-pages, just klick on the header cell of the table-column.
