How to make and download OpenStreetMap maps for Magellan Roadmate 3030-LM?

Help and support

I was looking online for maps that I could download for my Magellan Roadmate 3030-LM and in the process I discovered this site. I saw in a post by user:Sockeye that there was a website called maps4me.net where one could download maps for Magellan devices, but when I tried to go to that website I got an error message, which I guess means the website is no longer in operation. So is there a way to download a map file from this site or from Geofabrik and convert it to an .imi file and then download it into a microSD card to be used in a Magellan Roadmate 3030-LM? Is there any special software or programs I need to do this? And do I need to create a certain folder in the microSD card in order for the Magellan Roadmate to detect it?

I was also interested in downloading custom POI files for my Magellan Roadmate. I noticed that in the internal memory of my device the POI files had a .poi file extension, so should I find software that can convert .csv POI files into .poi? Or should it be in a .mgln format? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Also if I use a microSD card does the card have to have a specific format like FAT32 or can I use any format? And can the Magellan Roadmate read more than one map file?

It looks like this was meant to be the landing page for getting OSM onto Magellan devices, but it doesn’t look like it’s being kept up to date.

Yea it mentions Magellan GPS devices older than mine, and maps4me.net, which doesn’t work anymore

The Wayback machine of the Internet Archive has archived a version of the maps4me from November 2024: Welcome-Maps4me
I was able to download Europes basemap file from there, so others should work, too.

(Donate to the Internet Archive, if you have not donated to maps4me…)

Thanks for the link! Are you using the Europes basemap for a Magellan Roadmate or another Magellan device?

Neither, I just quickly looked at the archived website and tried to download a file…

I see, do you know if it’s possibe to merge the detailed map files from the archived website? For example, Canada is divided into 10 different maps in .imi format, do you know how I could merge those maps?

I tried to download some maps for Canada but it didn’t work, when I clicked the link it says no file to download
