Garmin stuff

I am just cleaning up the Garmin GPS pages (trying to get the general info organized and all under OSM Map On Garmin etc.). Is your stuff at GPS Maps From OSM Data still current? The web service seems not to work.

No, it's no longer there, haven't maintained it since mkgmap has arrived. Nickw 22:46, 15 November 2007 (GMT)

using Freemap from Java

Hello Nick, I am looking for a better map-renderer for Traveling salesman. Currently I have a very bad one I wrote and the ability to download tiles but a better one that can run localy would be needed. How hard do you think it would be for me to use the Freemap-Renderer (from the page it looks like it's php-code) from java? Is it fast enough for interactive rendering?

Is that the current Freemap renderer? It's using Mapnik, like the main OSM renderer, but with a custom XML file. As far as I know you can't use Mapnik from Java but can from C++. Nickw 22:47, 15 November 2007 (GMT)
