The information is both from openstreetmap. Comparing the maps in Basecamp gives an other result than comparing on your gps. In BC I prefer Freizeitkarte, on my gps (O600) I prefer openfietsmap.

Freizeitkarte offers several typ files in case you want to change the 'look and feel' of the map. I prefer the 'contrast' typ file both in Mapsource/Basecamp and on my Oregon 600.

Use JaVaWa GMTK (or GMapTool) to change the typ file in an installed map and JaVaWa TYPchanger to change a typ file inside an img.

Hy Mapperoni,
I've tried to change Some OSM-Freizeikarte-maps with Freizeikarte .typ file,
---------------------------
using either Javawa TypeChanger or GMpapTool. No way. With gMapTool I can change the type on OSM maps with other .type files. The Freizeikarte .typ files are very light too regarding the other ones I used. What's the trick ?
---------------------------
Javawa GMTK, cannot handle drivers neither sd cards :( no way
----------------------------
Found out their "replaceType" zip : no way with this recommanded script
I:\Garmin\gmt -j -o I:\Garmin\Italy_OSM_Topo+2015contrast.img I:\Garmin\Italy_OSM_Topo+2015-Copie.img I:\Garmin\contrast.TYP

The method you use depends on the kind of mapset you want to change.

JaVaWa TYPchanger is meant for changing a typ file within a mapset (.img).
JaVaWa GMTK can change a typ file in an installed Freizeitkarte or a gmap version.

GMTK: select your map and then open Menu Extra > Change or add typ file.

how have you done with the Frezeitkarte maps ?

As I described above.
Each Freizeitkarte is available in 3 formats: img, installation and gmap version.

For example last version of Freizeitkarte Belgium:
- gmap version has typ file: 6056.TYP
- gmapsupp.img version has typ file: 00006056 TYP
- Windows-installer: standard installation with 6056.TYP, but also with typ-files: small, outdoorl, outdoorc, outdoor, freizeit and contrast. See also:

When you want to change the typ-file You have the install version with al the different TYP-files or you download the different TYP-files from the Freizeitkarte-site. When you download the ReplaceTYP.zip from Freizeitkarte (in your language) you also get the different TYP-files and installation files. And can change the TYP-file with the tools in the zipfile. Use ReplaceTYP.cmd (it use Gmaptool=gmt.exe !). But you also can use the methods Mapperoni mentioned when you have the single TYP-files.

The TopoLusitania map doesn’t show many paths on Madeira (and also not on Portugal itself). I’ve been looking for Topo maps of Madeira that could be used for walking and found the following maps very useful:...

Hi
It seeems that Topolusitania team is mapping for the openstreetmap project. That could explain why for the time being no new Topolusitania version is available.

In Topolusitania blog there is a warning for some big errors that the Contour Lines from SRTM have in Madeira Island, creating summits higher than Pico do Areeiro
