Problems with creating map files from *.osm.pbf

[Stephan]

Good morning everybody,

I used to generate maps for my Garmin device and *.map-files for quite a while now. I worked pretty good until I tried to update my mapfile-writer to generate v0.3 maps. To make a long story short: Generating maps for my Garmin still works, but I cannot generate the *.map files any more. As I tried a lot of things which I found in the web within my osmosis directory I deleted it and started from scratch.

Here is the situation as of now:

• Java 7 is installed on my PC, which runs on Windows 7, 32bit
• I downloaded osmosis v0.41 and extracted the files to d:\map
• I created a folder "plugins" in d:\map and copied "mapsforge-map-writer-0.3.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar" into that folder
• I created a folder "tmp" in d:\map and copied my example.osm.pbf into that folder. This file war created by downloading a pbf-file from the geofabrik and extracting the area, which I'm interested in. I used this to create a map for my Garmin device. This works without problems.
• I created a cmd-file (start.cmd) in d:\map which has the following command:
  
  bin\osmosis --rb file=tmp\example.osm.pbf --mapfile-writer file=tmp\example.map bbox=47.2,11.1,48.3,13.2 type=hd
  The size given in the bounding box is exactly the same which was used to extract the area to create the example.osm.pbf
• I started my "start.cmd" within cmd.exe, but instead of creating my example.map, I receive the following output

Any ideas what I did wrong here

Cheers,

This problem has been on this mailing list a few times, use osmosis 0.4.0 with the 0.3.0 writer or update the writer to the head revision if you need osmosis 0.4.1.

Hi, Ludwig,

worst thing that can happen: Searching the web for two days, posting a question and then get a reply "has been on the list for several times" … ;-)

Ok, I exchanged osmosis to 0.4.0 now. The error I get now is

Fehler: Hauptklasse org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher konnte nicht gefunden oder geladen werden

It is a little surprising for me that this message is in German. I googled a little, but did not find something helpful

Not any good idea, apart from saying there is probably something wrong in your installation, could be java version, location of plugins etc, I guess the key error message is somewhere before the message you posted.
