Mapomatic - Applications of Mapping

As we mentioned just less than 3 months ago, our plan was to release updates to our Free UK Garmin OSM Maps on a regular basis, and this is the first such update.

Just like last time, we have released both the standard UK Garmin OSM Maps, and also the UK Garmin OSM Cycle Map (which highlights cycle routes more than normal roads).

Although it’s not easy to comment on what’s changed between the two maps, as that is a natural result of what the OpenStreetMap users have updated, we do know that there have been lots of mini mapping parties in and around London over the Summer improving the quality of the mapping.  One of the key things they were doing was reducing the number of unnamed roads in the city, so if nothing else, Londoners will see more road names within the data.  We also have seen a lot more POIs (Point of Interest) added to the main OSM database across the whole of the map, many of which are reflected in these new files.
