[PATCH] Bernhard's POI address autofilling code
by Mark Burton 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, The attached nod branch patch is Bernhard's code for autofilling POI address info. I have made a few trivial changes. It adds these options: --pois-addresses Add address / phone information to POIs. Address info is read according to the "Karlsruhe" tagging schema. If no address info is given name of next city is used. Automatic filling could be extended using the "location-autofill" option. --location-autofill=''number'' Controls how country region information is gathered for cities, streets and pois 0 (Default) Info of nearest city is taken. If no country region info is present for next city the default passed default country region is used. The country region info is gathered by analysis of the cities is_in tags. 1 Additional analysis of partial is_in info to get relations between hamlets and cities 2 Brute force search for nearest city with info if all methods before failed. Warning cities my end up in the wrong country/region. 3 Enables debug output about suspicious relations that might cause wrong country region info I have tested it a little and didn't obviously break anything so I think it can be committed soon. As it affects quite a few files, I just thought I would send it out in patch format first. If you have the time, please try it out. If no negative feedback comes back in the next 24 hours or so, I will commit it to the nod branch. Bernhard, I noticed that gpsmapedit does not think that the pois have any address info (e.g. city not set) - the road name pois have the expected city suffix but the city field in the poi is not set. Is this right? Cheers, Mark

routing and "permissive"
by Stefan Schunck 15 Feb '09

Hi, It seems to be valid to add the following to osm highway footway bicycle permissive which will be interpreted by mkgmap as that bicycle are not allowed. I think it should be interpreted as bicycle "yes" Stefan

Commit: r893: Fixed roadsAreJoined() so it is compatible with --route option.
by svn commit 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Version 893 was commited by markb on 2009-02-15 19:45:41 +0000 (Sun, 15 Feb 2009) Fixed roadsAreJoined() so it is compatible with --route option. It was using == to test if two points are the same which was OK when they were Coord objects but when generating a map with routing, the Coords will be replaced with individual CoordNode objects.

[PATCH] fix for "pink line of death" bug in routing
by Mark Burton 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Howdy Folks, The attached patch appears to fix the wild zooming away and back again problem we have been seeing in the routing. Please test. My etrex will now route without big zig-zag lines. The interesting question is: why didn't it show up in mapsource? Cheers, Mark
