Hello,

I am trying to use Groundtruth. With the command: groundtruth getdata -b=47,-123.5,47.5,-123 -osm=test.osm I always get the error message " ... The remote server returned an error: (503) Server unavailable...."

There is no data download at all. Has the OSM server address changed?

@Stefan,

This is probably due to OSMXAPI server being down, so it's not GroundTruth's fault. I suggest trying it again later.

Hello Igor,

I tried to use groundtruth 1.5.20.0 to download map data from osm. Unfortunately this didn't work very well. When trying this command:

groundtruth getdata -bu="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.512&lon=11.327&zoom=9&layers=B000FTF"

I get some Error 501: Not implemented ...

Is this due to the new API perhaps? If so, will there be a fix soon?

This looks like a very promising project! Thank you!

Frederico,

I'll have to investigate the MapCenter further. I'm not promising much on routing since AFAIK cgpsmapper version that supports routability is quite expensive and it will be difficult for me to test the code without it.

I still haven’t used your GroundTruth but it looks excellent. I need to use it ASAP! By the way, please move the routing support up in your list of priority. I know that it needs a registered version of cGPSmapper, but one could use the free mapcenter tool to compile routable maps. Thanks!

WOW this tool sounds really interesting. At the moment I’m using mkgmap together with sendmap to load my Garmin. It works, but not really good, I hope your tool will be better!!!!
