POIRecord and PlacesHeader

Hi Mark Do remember the reason for having cityList and cites in PlacesFile. In 854 you introduced the cityList in addition to the pre-existing cities list. The cities list became a list of unique city names per country. There is a problem that cityList.size() is the actual number of city records written to LBL, but the number cities.size() is used whenever you need to know how many cities there are, which is usually less than cityList.size(). The problem occurs when cityList.size() is > 255 but cites.size() is less than 256, when the cities get written as one byte values rather than two bytes ones. The number of cities is used in NET1 too and so affects that unless the difference is intentional for NET1. So do you think it is safe to use cityList.size() where ever the number of cites is required as in the attached patch? Everyone having assertion failures creating index files could try the patch out and see if it helps. You will have to re-create the .img file with this patch applied, not just the index. ..Steve

Version 1386 was commited by steve on 2009-11-13 16:47:50 +0000 (Fri, 13 Nov 2009) The alternatives syntax can be used for any set/add. The syntax that can be used to set the name: name '${foo}' | '${bar} | 'default value' can be used on any set or add command, for example: set name = '${foo}' | '${bar}' | 'default value'

Commit: r1383: Take care of the case when the number of cities/regions is more
by svn commit 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Version 1383 was commited by steve on 2009-11-13 15:43:31 +0000 (Fri, 13 Nov 2009) Take care of the case when the number of cities/regions is more than 0xffff. Map of germany now works for me. Also modify flag setting as per Anton's understanding of it. Will make no practical difference unless more than 0xffffff cities.

Problems loading map to GPSr - MDR_TRIMMER.H
by Clinton Gladstone 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

With the latest builds, I can no longer transfer my maps of Germany using mapsource to my e-Trex. The maps are build with the --index option, which I suspect may be part of the problem, as the error comes from MDR_TRIMMER.H. Does anyone have an idea? - I still have the region-munge.patch applied, as this was previously necessary to get the transfer to work. Below is the error information from mapsource: <Error> <Exception> <SourceCodeLocation> <SourceFileName>MDR_TRIMMER.H</SourceFileName> <SourceFileLine>930</SourceFileLine> </SourceCodeLocation> </Exception> <Application> <Name>MapSource</Name> <Build> <Version> <VersionMajor>6</VersionMajor> <VersionMinor>13</VersionMinor> <BuildMajor>6</BuildMajor> <BuildMinor>0</BuildMinor> </Version> <Type>Release</Type> <Time>Nov 28 2007, 11:23:32</Time> <Builder>SQA</Builder> </Build> <LanguageID>1033</LanguageID> <PartNumber>006-A0041-00</PartNumber> </Application> <Computer> <OperatingSystem>Windows XP Service Pack 3</OperatingSystem> <Processor>x86, Processor Level: 6, Processors:2, Model: 23 Stepping: 10</Processor> <RamSize>2097151</RamSize> </Computer> <Time>2009-11-11T20:34:54Z</Time> </Error>

Steve, Attached 2 patches for mkgmap-r1381\doc\ READMEjava.patch READMEinstalling.patch If you would be so kind to commit it? Please? BTW I see a heading like Index: doc/README.java on the patches of others. Is it hand edited in, or do you use different DiffUtils than I do? Should I include it as well? Further- do you prefer the patch text copied into the email body?

Version 1380 was commited by steve on 2009-11-12 17:32:56 +0000 (Thu, 12 Nov 2009) massgis import has polygons with leisure=recreation_ground, and this is logically like landuse=recreation_ground. Apparently mapnik already has support for this, and the following makes such parks show up nicely: -Greg Troxel
