Transliteration and lower-case
by Ivan Kostoski 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

I am having problems getting transliteration and having uppercase letters at the same time. If I select code page (--code-page=xxx), I get uppercase letters but no transliteration. I tried --lower-case=no, but that does not work... With no options (i.e. no --code-page), transliteration works but resulting map is in lowercase letters. This works in MapSource but I get only the upper-case letters as abbreviated street names/poi in Garmin Mobile XT. Is is possible to get capitalization to work after transliteration (where everything now is in ASCII anyway)? Thanks, Ivan

Recommended "stable" version?
by Klaus Gaßner 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

Hi! According to the Wiki page, the last version recommended as reasonably stable is 858. As I needed some particular improvements, I am using 1001, which works reasonably well. However, there are some weird glitches in my map that may be caused by problems in my preprocessing or in mkgmap with equal propability. So an update to a later version might in order but quite a number of the posts here seem to indicate that many things are very experimental so this might be a change for the worse at the moment. My map is not intended for routing, so will not profit from any features to that end, I am rather hoping for general improvements of processing and reliability. So the question is: Are there any plans to work towards another recommended reasonably stable version? Or do any of you have a personal recommendation for a build that in your experience should not cause trouble? thanks Nop

FW: --TDB option for ways only map doesn't show up in 6324000.img
by Hilton Long 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

I am attempting to create a routable, transparent map of footpaths to overlay on a separately drawn transparent contour map which shows hydrography and land cover. Those two maps would lie on top of a proprietary road map. The Windows batch file I use to call the compiler follows: java.exe -Xmx512M -enableassertions -jar "c:\program files\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar" --route --net --transparent --product-id=53 --mapname=07250732 laurels8.mp pause To generate the TDB file I then run: java.exe -Xmx512M -enableassertions -jar "c:\program files\mkgmap\mkgmap.jar" --max-jobs=4 --tdbfile --product-id=53 07250733.img 07250732.img pause My problem is that if laurels8.mp contains a full set of contours, hydrography and land cover my 6324000.img file shows a corresponding 07250732 quadrangle, but if laurels8.mp consists only of ways, there is no quadrangle for 07250732. Therefore, while I can see the ways in MapSource, I can't use MapSource to select the ways only maps to combine with my other maps. I get the same result if I compile laurels8.osm directly from a JOSM file. If this isn't the right forum for this question, I'd appreciate a link to the right one. Thanks in advance. Hilton

name in style file
by frmas 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Hello, I use the following line in my points style file : natural=peak {name '${name}'} [0x661d resolution 20] I have the appropriate 0x661d icon in my .TYP file. The icon is well displayed on my Garmin, but not the name of the peak. The osm file has the right information in it : <node id="423283143" lat="45.1969885" lon="3.724827" version="3" changeset="1631916" user="persei" uid="117980" visible="true" timestamp="2009-06-26T04:57:46Z"> <tag k="name" v="Mont Bar"/> <tag k="natural" v="peak"/> <tag k="ele" v="1168"/> </node> I thought the name of that peak would have been displayed on the map. Is it right ? I use a Garmin Oregon 400T Second question : Is it possible to have the elevation displayed on the map too ? What do I have to write in my points file to succeed ? Something like : natural=peak { name '${name} ${ele}' | '${name}' | '${ele}' } [0x661d resolution 20] ?? Thank you. Francois --

Re: [mkgmap-dev] motorcycle=no
by Marco Certelli 22 Jun '09

Unfortunately I've not been able to find a better solution than putting as first row in style: motorcycle=no {set motorcycle=yes} It works, but the resulting map is only good for cars, not for motorcycles... Good Night.

cannot route to some POIs
by maning sambale 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Another weird behavior. Some pois are not properly routed from the road. I've checked the data and it seems to be valid. I am thinking that this is probably because the POI is too far from the road. But it doesn't necessaryly follow. See attached image 1.png - routing is OK 2.png - problem with routing to bookstore and jollibee -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, motorcar and motorcycle share the same access bit in IMG... From MKGMAP SOURCE: StyledConverter.java: .... private final AccessMapping[] accessMap = { new AccessMapping("access", RoadNetwork.NO_MAX), // must be first in list new AccessMapping("bicycle", RoadNetwork.NO_BIKE), new AccessMapping("foot", RoadNetwork.NO_FOOT), new AccessMapping("hgv", RoadNetwork.NO_TRUCK), new AccessMapping("motorcar", RoadNetwork.NO_CAR), new AccessMapping("motorcycle", RoadNetwork.NO_CAR), new AccessMapping("psv", RoadNetwork.NO_BUS), new AccessMapping("taxi", RoadNetwork.NO_TAXI), new AccessMapping("emergency", RoadNetwork.NO_EMERGENCY), new AccessMapping("delivery", RoadNetwork.NO_DELIVERY), new AccessMapping("goods", RoadNetwork.NO_DELIVERY), }; ................. if (type.equals("motorcar") || type.equals("motorcycle")) { road.setNoThroughRouting(); ................. I guess there is no way to make a way good for cars and not for bykes Ciao, Marco. --- Dom 21/6/09, Mark Burton <markb(a)ordern.com> ha scritto: > Da: Mark Burton <markb(a)ordern.com> > Oggetto: Re: [mkgmap-dev] motorcycle=no > A: mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk, marco_certelli(a)yahoo.it > Data: Domenica 21 giugno 2009, 21:35 > > Hi Marco, > > From: Marco Certelli <marco_certelli(a)yahoo.it> > Subject: [mkgmap-dev] motorcycle=no > Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2009 15:03:32 +0000 (GMT) > > > The question is: how mkgmap compiles a motocycle=no > tag? > > I am away from home this week and can't look at the source > but, from > memory, I think it will ignore that tag. > > > And is there a way in mkgmap/IMG to make a road > routable for cars but not for motorcycles? > > I don't know of any way to do that. > > Cheers, > > Mark >

motorcycle=no
by Marco Certelli 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hello, I've a way tagged motorroad=yes and motorcycle=no (the style converts motorroad=no in bicycle=no and foot=no). As you know, you can choose in Mapsource (and in the Garmin GPS) to make a route for Cars, Autobus, Bicycle, etc. but unfortunately when you choose to route for Cars this implies to route for Motorcycles too. This means that the 2 vehicles type cannot have different restrictions in IMG: and in fact the way tagged motorcycle=no results forbidden to motocars too. The question is: how mkgmap compiles a motocycle=no tag? And is there a way in mkgmap/IMG to make a road routable for cars but not for motorcycles? Ciao, Marco.
