Yes its close to MuzToo. I added the point to Open Stret map but is still not released online. I wonder how fast they do their releases... maybe I have to try it again. But the coordinates are at my web page in case.

Very regularly/frequently.
I use quite a few OSM maps and download updates more or less every week: I could update them even more frequently if I wished but that will do for me.

OSM update maps are on demand in my experience of loading them to my mobile phone.
i.e. each time I look at the download manager in the app there are a few more available.

Thanks! I was able to convert it online into a GPX file using gpsvisualizer.com, and then loaded into OSMand on my phone (and will do it on our tablet as well)
The more info the better

Last time I was in TJK, the Anzob and Shariston pass were impassable (rock falls blocking the road). I guess since the tunnels opened they don't clear them and the fell in disuse. Maybe worth mentioning in the WP.

Hi, the Samarkand - Panjikent border is open but was still listed as closed in the waypoints.

@Laurent, how recent is last time? I want to cross it in a week if possible.

Somebody crossed Anzob in a Hilux last February, havent got anything more recent.

Well, that was in 2016. OK, I suppose somebody decided to clear up the rockfall by himself. Just go and you'll find out.

Laurent

PS: In February, really ? maybe with caterpillars...

Just as an idea, what do you think about putting a prefix on new waypoints?

for example "RUS Ulan Ude hotel" or "MNG benzin 92" and so on?

I did that with all waypoints and it is for me much easier to sort them in basecamp.
because you see the countries where they are about immediately

What I understood now from meeting people on the road that the Anzob pass is open to bikers but to small for cars, because of rocks. And probably it isnt very easy for bikers too. The Anzob tunnel was not that bad by the way.

I dont see it as necessary.

This is easily done graphically highlighting areas of waypoints in a basecamp or mapsource map, then hitting the delete button.

I do this all the time to trim the waypoints database file for people who are only travelling in a small area. Takes 10 seconds at most.

Hi:
You could tell me with what software/program you have created the .GDB file.
I have opened it in google maps but it tells me that it does not support so many layers.
Thanks

GDB = Garmin Mapsource.

It would be possible to view the file in Google via MyMaps. You'd need to first save it as a GPX, then import to MyMaps.
