First of all, excuse me for writing English in a german subforum. My Deutsch writing is not that good…
I want to export the maps (in osmarender style) including piste tracks to my garmin oregon 300. I found mapcomposer and am able to generate the map for garmin, it displays well.
Unfortunately, the pistes are not shown. I investigated the exported map.osm file (xml) and found the piste tags.
From here, i am lost I know i have to tell mapcomposer in some way to translate the tag information in the xml file to a red,blue or black polyline on the garmin map. but i can not find the information how to do that.
So, i am looking for an explanation or tutorial on how the use and interpret the xml tags in mapcomposer. Can anyone point me in some direction?
Some time ago, I created a simple piste map for Garmin, and posted a description at http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=14000
I did not use mapcomposer, but splitter, mkgmap, and gmt. Download http://www.berniesmaps.de/Ski_Fichtelgebirge.zip and look at the scripts (*.bat files) and the style files contained therein. Execute the script _3_MakeGarminMap.bat to create the gmapsupp.img file, which you have to copy to your Garmin; but you can view the map before with QLandkarte.
Thank you for your help so far.
I followed your lead, Nop, and studied part of the manual (as a Dutchie I can read German, only writing is very difficult for me, and subsequent reading for you is difficult as well ).
I used a free Garmin polyline ID 0E for blue piste (let’s just start with only one piste tag…)
I added a Renderregel and checked for multiple links to the ID (found none). As already mentioned by tippeltappel in the same thread, the exact tag is ‘piste:difficulty’ and a ‘:’ is used. It is the only line in the Renderregeln that has a ‘:’…
The indicated line shows in red and informs that the pass-through tag ‘piste:difficulty’ tag somehow has an error. Is there something wrong in my (and hedu’s) approach?
