[OSM-talk] Problem in getting high resolution details on some maps

[Gregory]

Hi Andreas,

Is there detailed map data on OSM.org where you aren't getting it?
If not, then that's because this is a volunteer project and we need people
to make it better. Feel free to get involved and contribute.

Do the missing areas correspond to the areas marked on
http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ ?
If it can't load the OSM map or one for the area doesn't exist, then the
GPS will display the built-in map (which tends to be just towns as points &
imprecise motorways).

My stab-in-the-dark suggestion is that the file got corrupted either during
download onto your computer or transfer to the GPS.
If you take note of the file size, remove it from your computer and GPS.
Look at the GPS(you could do this with the SD card removed), is the map
showing the same poor quality as before?(if yes then it wasn't showing OSM
data).
Download the file again(you'll probably have to request it again), and
transfer it to your GPS. If the filesize is bigger this time, then you
didn't have the full file last time(i.e. it was corrupt).
