[OSM-dev] Looking for some place to host routable OSM based Garmin maps

[Radomir Mucha-Kruczynski]

Hi Guys,

I currently write a program/process which generates a Garmin Maps from
OSM data. It produces MP files which are later compile them with
cgpsmapper. The code is in beta stage and I need a bit more time
before publishing the source code, as there are still some dirty-hacks
and workarounds which I would like to fix first. On the other hand the
resulting maps are already usable. I tested one of them during two
last weekends and I was successfully guided by my GPS unit from Poland
to Germany and back (more than 1000 km).

I already created maps for Germany, Benelux, UK, Ireland, France,
Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. I would like to
publish them for wider audience for testing.

The maps are self-installable executable for MapSource for Windows. I
am able to generate the files for Mac. I am working on automated
process creating files for Linux. The files are pretty heavy (average
30 MB one map) and unfortunately I cannot afford hosting them. Because
of this I am looking for some host where I could put the maps for
download. I already talked with a few people from OSM leading circle
but at the end I received no answer.

I want to regenerate the maps every week to keep them up to date. To
make the managing of files more convenient I would need an FTP access
to the server. I would also require a few html pages to describe the
files.

Does anyone know some place where I would be able to host the maps?

I posted a message on dev forum, but I heard the real discussion happens here.

Regards

Radomir
