<onlyinclude>A [http://osm.nix.is/latest Garmin map of Iceland] is generated from the OpenStreetMap database daily around 08:00 UTC.</onlyinclude>. The map data is retrieved from the [http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/iceland.osm.bz2 daily geofabrik export of Iceland].

−

== Maps generated ==

−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/default/ Default] - The default mkgmap rendering (see screenshot) '''you probably want to get this'''

−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/default/OSM_IS_default.zip Default - MapSource] - A MapSource installer for the default map. '''get this if you use Microsoft Windows and MapSource'''

−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/cyclemap/ Cycle map] - A cycling map (just like [[OSM Map On Garmin/Cycle map|the UK one]])

−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/all/ All] - The default map and the cycle map.

−

−

=== What files do I get? ===

−

Each directory (''default'', ''cyclemap'', ''all'') has both a file with a name like <code>13314531.img</code> and a file named <code>gmapsupp.img</code>.

−

−

If you're using Microsoft Windows and use Garmin's [[MapSource]] to manage your maps you should get [http://osm.nix.is/latest/default/OSM_IS_default.zip '''the MapSource installer''']. Once MapSource recognizes the map you can upload it to your GPS from there. See [[Garmin Mapsource installer]] for further info on the MapSource installer.

−

−

The <code>gmapsupp.img</code> file is the only one your Garmin device reads. It's an archive which can contain more than one map, the [http://osm.nix.is/latest/default/gmapsupp.img '''default/gmapsupp.img'''] archive contains the '''default map''' which is '''probably the one you want'''.

−

−

You could also get [http://osm.nix.is/latest/cyclemap/gmapsupp.img '''cyclemap/gmapsupp.img'''] which contains '''the cyclemap''' or [http://osm.nix.is/latest/all/gmapsupp.img '''all/gmapsupp.img'''] which contains '''both the default and the cycle map'''. But if you have both loaded on one device finding points of interest can be confusing as you'll have two copies of each POI in each find menu; or one from each map.

−

−

== Other files ==

−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/Iceland.osm.bz2 Iceland.osm] - A local copy of the OSM file used to produce the map.

−



−

* [http://osm.nix.is/latest/VERSION.txt VERSION.txt] - The software versions used to generate the maps

== How do I install the <code>.img</code> file on my device? ==
