Support VeloMap.org Website and Map development
I spend a lot of time working on the maps, working on this homepage and working on the OSM wiki/forums in order so that everyone can enjoy nice maps for cycling If you want to support me in doing that, then please pay for a membership to help me to continue developing.

Note1: The login only works for either Velomap or Openmtbmap (depending where you pay), but the premium downloads are always available for both Openmtbmap/Velomap from the site you paid. You can still post comments/questions specific to Velomap in the Velomap section on Openmtbmap and vice versa (this is due to both websites having different databases. People who pay 50€ or more, may email me and I manually copy the login to both sites.)
Note2: if you already paid in the past / have an login and would like to extend your membership, please login, then you will see the options!
There are 2 Options 1. First year support/access to downloads for €20, then € 15 for each year. You can cancel the payment whenever you like on Paypal. (needs a credit card linked to your Paypal Account.). If you don't cancel before the year is over, the payment will continue each year - It's a subscription. 2. Pay for a fixed term. 20€ for 1 year, 37€ for 2 years ... and so on. See the dropdown box. Just choose amount/time and fill out - your username/password is directly created! I actually never get your credit card data - Your credit card information is securely handled via Stripe. Also possible to pay with Visa debit and Mastercard debit card, but not with Maestro. (I'm sorry that I need to ask for your location - this is due to EU VAT laws effective since 2018). Your Account is created instantly after Payment. Sorry - thanks to the EU VATMOSS rules I cannot offer payment via simple Bank transfer for now. There is one workaround though - you can open up a Paypal Account - wire money to it, and then use it to pay (no subscriptions - one time payments only without credit card). I really dislike this situation - but cannot change it for now as otherwise my administrative burden is far too high. I'm not a fan of PayPal at all (that's why the default gateway is Stripe) - but for now there is no better possibility if you have no credit card - or don't want to use your credit card online. For people who do not want to pay via Paypal/Credit Card, I have opened up a bank account. In case you want to receive a membership please wire the money, and send me an email with your requested Username. (note as it usually takes 2 working days for the money to be credited to the bank account I will send you your login data 2-4 days later). Once the money is credited to my account, I will send you an email with your login data ( 2-4 days later). You can also put your requested Username and your email into the reference text (replace "@" with "AT" as @ is not allowed on the reference form), this makes it easier for me. (if you don't receive an account within 5 working days, drop me a mail (my email is felix At velomap.org). 20€ gets you 1 year, 37€ 2 years, 50€ 3 years, 65€ 4 years, 100€ 8 years, 200€ or more lifelong (as long as I run velomap.org) Membership Access. new bank account data soon. Please don't use the old account data anymore - due to neu EU Vat regulations as of 1.1.2018 (see more about it on #Vatmoss on Twitter for example). I am working hard on offering a new solution to pay/donate via bank transfer. 
Pay via Bank transfer
My bank account data is:
Hallo Felix,
Hab neue Kreditkarte. Wie kann ich Dir die Daten sicher übermitteln?
Josef
Du musst deine Kreditkarte in deinem Paypal Account updaten – ich darf und möchte mit deiner Kreditkartennummer nichts zu tun haben.
Hallo ich habe Probleme beim Installieren von den Karten,
wie kann ich das Problem Lösen ?
Lg
Hubert
Wenn du die 10m Höhenlinien auswählst – musst du diese auch separat herunterladen – am besten in denselben Ordner wie den Installer. Dann darauf klicken.
Guten Morgen!
Ich habe versucht die Europa-Karte zu installieren. Es wird nach den Contouren gefragt, die ich aber nirgens zum download entdecke.
Kannst du mir helfen?
Herzliche Grüße

Changing Colors of maps
I am attempting to change some of the colors of maps, like making the ocean blue rather than white using Typwiz6.
I can change the colors in a .typ file, but so far, has not been able to figure out how to get the change to show up on my Tactix Delta. Have modifed the .typ files believed was in use in the /garmin/VeloMap/denmark directory, also tried the velomap_denmark_change_layout.exe – but so far no luck.
How do I modify the colors on the active map on my watch and in Basecamp ?
Regards
Michael
The ocean is always blue – if not there is a map data problem and the ocean is missing!
you need to modify the .typ that is in use – then afterwards send the map. Do not use the change layout.exe afterwards – it will restore the original .typ file. Same will happen on map update.
Still experimenting, but it appears that a given Velo/OpenMBT map, that shows buildings, ocean on my Montana 700i – does not on my Tactix Delta.
I modify the .typ using typwiz – opening the map loaded in Basecamp, then do an install. That works fine for the Montana.
Downloading an alternative map to compare.
I have map detail settings set to ‘most’
Regards
Michael
I can confirm, at even when downloading a ready-to-go .img file from here or other sites, I see the buildings on my Montana 700i, but not on the Tactix Delta/Fenix 6x.
Have gone through converting all polygons to 16 bit just to be sure, but no luck. Looks like the watch is filtering buildings.
Any clue ?
do not use details at most – usually normal is much better. The VeloMap has the buildings as a separate layer – so you need to enable them / send them included or separate. The OpenMTBMaps have the buildings in the map so they definitely should show up – but maybe Tactix Delta uses a 64 colour display like the Fenix? Then use the Fenix layout for them. The buildings are not visible for Fenix without using Fenix layout – as they resort to white. The fenix definitely shows buildings – I have a Fenix 6x Pro for debugging myself and use it from time to time with the maps.
I seem to be having some problems with the new versions of the maps. Having downloaded the latest versions of GB and Spain to basecamp I noticed that I had to zoom into 0.2miles instead 0f 0.5miles before all minor roads, tracks and footpaths etc are displayed. Not exactly a catastrophe but still inconvenient.
The second difference is more awkward. Having downloaded the Spainish map, velo version, to both my Etrex 20 and Etrex 30 garmins, there seems to be a problem at certain magnifications. As I zoom in the roads are being overwritten by something. It looks to me as though the buildings are not scaling correctly at some intermediate zoom levels but are displaying at a larger scale and overwriting other information such as roads. At a larger magnification such as 500ft the buildings appear to display correctly.
Is there anything I can do to correct either of these features?
Peter
could you please show me a picture or screenshot of the second problem. The first is intentional – I changed the zoom scales because in Europe things got to crowded – I did this 6-7 months ago – I wrote about it in the newsletter/frontpage.
Hallo Extremcarver,
mir gelingt es nicht per PayPal meine Zahlung abzuschließen.
Woran kann das liegen?
gruß fantoux
Hmm, du bist der zweite innerhalb von ein paar Tagen. Könntest du mir bitte antworten wie du es versuchst? Welcher Betrag, und welcher Browser – und wenn möglich Screenshot von der Fehlermeldung. Im Prinzip geht es für die meisten – aber irgendeine Kombination aus Software/Browser/Land/Betrag scheint Probleme zu machen – nur ich weiß nicht welche.
Leider finde ich keine velomap von ganz Europa mehr. Ich will auch gar nicht ganz Europa installieren, sondern mir
grenzüberschreitend die verschiedenen Kacheln (F,B,NL,D) auf dem Navi installieren. So müsste ich pro Land einen eigenen Kartensatz installieren. Gibt es einje weniger umständliche Möglichkeit?
Sorry für’s posten im falschen Kapitel.
Die VeloMap Europa ist überall verlinkt – es gibt nur keine gmapsupp.img Download – da viel zu groß. Einfach ganz oben unter Kontinente schauen…
Hallo, ich habe noch für ein Jahr die Premiummitgliedschaft möchte aber danach diese nicht mehr. Was muss ich machen, damit das automatische Abbuchen via PayPal nicht mehr stattfindet?
Direkt auf paypal die Subscription beenden. Link und Anleitung dazu ist hier: http://www.velomap.org/cancel/

Wie lautet die Mail-Adresse um an Velomap Fragen zu stellen. Auf der Homepage ist dies nicht sofort ersichtlich!!
Ich habe folgende Frage:
Das Kartenlayout, dass ans GPS gesendet werden soll. Wie muss ich das vorab festlegen/einstellen? Am PC nutze ich die Version “Desktop”. Auf dem GPS soll “Velo wide” sinnvoll sein. Muss ich vor dem Transfer zum GPS auf “Velo wide” umstellen?
Gruß
Dieter
wenn du velo_wide nutzen möchtest – dann ja. Dafür gibt es ja die change_layout.exe um das schnell zu ändern. du kannst auf meinen Kommentar antworten per email. Ich bevorzuge Hilfe via Kommentar statt per email. Im Impressum steht sonst auch noch die email.
ich bin premiummitglied, bekomme aber immer die aufforderung zu verlängern; und ich kann nur im velomapberreich downloaden. kann das bitte geändert werden . frohes neues jahr plm2000
sorry – sollte jetzt funktionieren!
Hallo, ich erhalte nach download der Velomap Karten die folgenden Infos vom PC: a) Datenträgerimage beschädigt und b) Karte wird als Malware ausgewiesen – Virus ?
Danke
liedet
Hallo liedet,
False Positive. Du kannst aber überprüfen ob die Code Signature okay ist (rechtsklick auf die Datei wenn fertig heruntergeladen) – bzw die MD5 Summe stimmt. So weißt du dann ob der Download korrekt war.
