Mapsource Free Download For Pc

[Erminia Scharnberg]

Irecently upgraded my copy of Garmin MapSource to 6.15.6. Since then, I can almost never save data that I download from my GPSr as a GPX. MapSource crashes when I try. My GPSr is an etrex Venture HC.

I have contacted Garmin. They had me send them a GDB that I couldn't convert and save. They don't have any trouble with it. At their request, I upgraded my other PC - no good - now I don't have any "working" copy of MapSource at all.

I just tried on a large tracklog that I'd previously saved as a GDB and sure enough it crashed Mapsource 6.15.6. So I'll next try reopening the RAW gpx from my CO 300 and see if it crashes w/o the intermediate GDB save.

The entire TransCanada Trail Database. Over 6000 separate track logs and God knows how many points. It took 3 minutes to save the GPX file. No crash. You guys have some other influence. I'm on XP Pro. What about you guys?

Thanks for taking time to look into this. I'm glad that Garmin is admitting there is a problem, at least to someone. Unfortunately, even skipping the "save as gdb" step doesn't help me. It still crashes.

I would be happy to share a a gdb that causes a problem on my system, but I have nowhere to upload it to. My ISP recently changed their personal web page policies and they no longer provide ftp access. Web pages must be created/modified online using their tools. I can upload videos and music but nothing else.

I have the exact same problem with 6.15.6 which is loaded on two different computers. Neither will save as a gpx file, either from a virgin download from my 76CSx or by calling up a gdb and trying to resave as a gpx file. I also contacted Garmin and sent them a gdb which they had no problem saving as a gpx. I reported this problem on this forum several months ago via a friend because I was having problems accessing this forum.

I have this problem with 6.15.6 too. I can't get it to save tracks from my Garmin etrex summit in gpx format, everything else seems to work okay. Is there any work around (e.g. using Google Earth or something like that)?

I am also unable to convert GDB files to GPX once they have been saved. If I save the file as GPX initially then I am ok. It is frustrating because I had planned out several routes for a recent bike trip and I could not load them as GDB files to my Edge 705, I had to redo all the routes and save them as GPX in order to load them.

Glad I found this thread as I am having the same problem, on a PC with vista -home installed I can not save to GPX files or convert a GBD file to GPS as in both cases mapsource crashes. Version 6.15.6 of mapsource.

Do you need to buy Mapsource as I have a Oregon 400t, all I have is map update 2008 for my Nuvi 350 and no mapsource software on CD. I would like to add some of the maps of the southeast on my Oregon 400t.

I installed new version of Mapsource on my laptop and consistantly crashed when trying to save as GPX, but not opening a gpx file. Generally I was trying to save tracks from my GPS as gpx files. It would crash. So I tried creating a waypoint with mapsource and trying to save that as a GPX and it would crash. I went back to an older version and it now works fine.

When I debug with Visual Studio 2008 it says "Unhandled exception, access violation reading location 0x00000000" so there's an uninitialized NULL pointer. I speculate that some action or option before saving GPX is the reason it works for some and not others.

I'm of course having the exact same problem. ever since April I have been unable to save a .gpx without mapsource crashing. I can save when I need using EasyGPS, but I liked using Mapsource so I could more easily edit the tracks when I could see it overlaid on a map (to make it easy to post to Google Earth for example). It is frustrating that this seems to be a major issue, yet it hasn't been addresses, fixed, and the buggy version is still available for everyone. I tried uninstalling and then running the install for an older version, yet when Mapsource opens it is still 6.15.6

I should have tried it before opening my big mouth. I forgot that MapSource closes the open file when you open a second file. Anyhow, YOUR TIP WORKED!!! You are correct in that loading a gpx initializes something in the program that is missing when it opens on certain computer. Thanks so much for this tip.

I have done some Garmin maps with contour lines.

The actual street data is in one osm file and the contour lines in another file.

This result in 2 selectable maps in MapSource which are on top of each other.

What I really looking for is a way of combining the two osm files which makes up one area into one img file.

Later on I will have a lot of these combined img files which I like to have in one big GMAPSUPP file.

At the end i will have a lot of small GMAPSUPP files for each area and a big one for all.

All the small GMASUPP files should be installed into MapSource

In summary, mapsource plots each individual tile in order of its mapname. Thus you want the contour tiles to be transparent, and to have mapnames that are higher than the base map. Then mapsource will plot them on top of the base map.

Hi there,Checking as an alternative to OSM (where I cannot find any page for downloading a map, even after an extensive search.)On bbbike.org is supposed to be pretty easy to download a map. However, I see some hickups. I don't know if anyone is conversant with this site.

'Format' gives a lot of options, but no gpx o gdp. Which format to choose?You have to create a 'bounding box'. This gives the boundaries of the map to download. It is supposedly adjustable. But whatever I try, it won't change the boundary.

In case you cannot get bbbike.org to work for you, choose one of the alternatives (which are all based on OSM data, like bbbike): _Map_On_Garmin/Download (scroll down to the tables; in the tables you can find a column if a provider has an installer for mapsource available).

Custom map sources which uses a similar URL scheme as Google/OpenStreetMap can be added to MOBAC. There are several types of map sources. Most of them are defined in an xml file in the mapsources directory.

The following section shows is an example how the xml file has to be formatted. It defines an additional map source named "Custom OSM Mapnik" which shows map tiles identical to the predefined map source "OpenStreetMap Mapnik".

The CloudMade map service offers a large number of OpenStreetMap based maps with different styles. Each style is accessible through it's styleID . Custom CloudMade maps can be added to MOBAC via a simple XML file containing a map name used by MOBAC and a styleID:

BeanShell map sources as the can be developed using MapEvaluator can be used by MOBAC. To do so place the saved BeanShell code file (file extension .bsh ) in the mapsources directory. It will be loaded on next start-up of MOBAC.

Developing a custom built-in map pack requires at least basic Java skills. Therefore the description on how to develop a custom map pack is only part of the source code release of MOBAC. You can get the source code of MOBAC by using the latest src release available in the files section at SourceForge or you can get it directly from the Subversion code repository using the latest trunk version.

When the Mapper generates XSLT code to call the Value Mapping functoid, a variable is used to store the result. You can use the OptimizeValueMapping flag to optimize the Value Mapping functoid so that a variable is generated only when the if statement evaluates to True. For example, with OptimizeValueMapping set to No:

This code could be optimized by moving the Value Mapping functoid invocation into the body of the if statement, ensuring that invocation occurs only when it is required. Setting OptimizeValueMapping to Yes yields the following code:

When the Mapper is using a schema that has a very large instance footprint with deep complex structures and/or recursive nodes, testing the map, validating the map, or compiling the map could take a long time or, in the worse case, result in an "out of memory" error. This could happen with small, complex schemas as well as with large schemas.
