"Fuel" POI label corrupted
by Peter Hendricks 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi all, I would like to report what looks like a style sheet problem. I'm using Lambertus' Garmin map from http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php. This node http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/418611927 shows up on the Garmin map with label "ptth: Ptt". The default style sheet is used, so I am told. Regars, Peter.

Commit: r1711: Patch by WanMill that implements the proposal by Torsten Leitstikow :
by svn commit 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Version 1711 was commited by steve on 2010-10-08 21:45:51 +0100 (Fri, 08 Oct 2010) Patch by WanMill that implements the proposal by Torsten Leitstikow : My understanding of the multipolygons is, that the tags may EITHER be in the relation OR on the outer polygons. So the outerpoylgons are only to be used, when there are no tags on the relation. If the relation itself is tagged and there is a tag on the outerpolygons, this does logical mean, that the outerpolygon tags apply to the complete area including the inner-area. There shouldn't be a list of concerned tags, since any area tags may be used. - WanMil

mkgmap routing bug
by ddyeti2000-mkgmap＠yahoo.de 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, I found a bug in mkgmap if one use turn restrictions for routing in combination with the make-cycleway option. As far as I understand the make-cycleway options duplicates ways with a bicycle lane etc. The new way seems to use the same nodes as the original way. If you have a node with turn restrictions (via node), this operation would add one ore more additional ways to this node, that may share the same toNode and fromNode but no or wrong restriction reference. Therefore, it could be that the fromNode or toNode is added as OtherNode in StyledConverter.java (line 1616 and 1636). I think the easiest hot fix is to prevent to add the fromNode and toNode to the restriction, RestrictionRelation.java -> addRestriction(MapCollector collector) in the only_* condition branch (line 293). I have tested the attached patch. It works fine. I don't think, that this patch breaks any mkgmap function, because: 1) It avoids adding a from/toNode to a restriction of a only_* condition. 2) Adding other nodes several times to a restriction. This is obviously a wanted behavior. Another solution would be to flag generated ways (from make-cycleways) and to not consider in any turn restriction, because they have no or wrong turn restrictions. But this is a more invasive change. DDYeti

Latest List of OSM to GarminIDs
by Sam Vekemans 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi all, I'm hoping that im being of some help here :) For those who might not know, im taking on the challenge of trying to organize all of the Map Features into a universal system. I'm calling it 'SchemaTroll 2.01' http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SchemaTroll_2.01 I have now completed an analysis of the Garmin Map Features, and created a spreadsheet which lists it all. I used http://freegeographytools.com/2008/garmin-gps-unit-waypoint-icons-table - for the icons and feature categories the mkgmap .csv file from the 'mkgmap-r1709-src' and cross-referenced the big list of Map features, with the smaller list of OSM tags that it supports. http://www.geopainting.com/en/ - GPSMapEdit provides a nice detailed category listing for each map feature. .. and in it's 0x#### form. So it was easy to match-up the GarminID's with the mkgmap ID's ... as some where switched around. http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/mapLegend.html - has a detailed list of all the map features that gets supported (for MapSource) I also included 2 columns for 'SchemaTroll KEY' and SchemaTroll Value' these are where i simply went through it and guessed as to what the tags could possibly be in the future. For the OSM Map Features, there are a few (a whole lot) of Tag Proposals that need to be made. So i'm leaving that upto the Wikians to fix up the wiki. I'm just trying to help it along. Ideally, it would be great to see an OSM tag for each of the Garmin Map Features, as the map can actually support the customized map, of upto 700 or so features. I noticed that many features are duplicated across different Garmin ID's and Many Garmin ID's support multiple OSM tags. So basically, im trying to get the whole chart filled in, with the best known map features, and using the Wiki as the primary source. And over on my version of the Spreadsheet, im keeping a list of Features that need to be proposed, and updating my own spreadsheet. Which i hope to make available in the next month or so. (it's going through so many changes) :) For those who know how to use Gitorious I just converted the file to .csv and Pushed the latest changes http://gitorious.org/wikimap-books/wikimap-books-legend and here's the GoogleDocs Chart https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dGdSaEwwTUx5eGtzSFdPbm… Hopefully someone will find some use for it :) Cheers, Sam P.S How often does the osm map features .csv file get updated? --- Across Canada Trails - Beyond 2017 - The National Trails Network Victoria, BC Canada Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: 'Sam Vekemans' IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-ca Canadian OSM channel (an open chat room) IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #CommonMap The Common Map channel (an open chat room)

Flooded tiles
by Nakor 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Hello, In the latest mkgmap versions I have several tiles flooded. This seems to be caused by small inland coastlines. I have this kind of message in the output: 2010/10/02 08:29:54 WARNING (SeaGenerator): 12000002.osm.gz: Converting anti-island starting at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=43.99125&mlon=-89.83336&zoom=17 into an island as it is surrounded by water IIRC it was not like that about 6 weeks go. Thanks, N.

Some bounderies shown as river
by Josef Latt 08 Oct '10

08 Oct '10

Hi, I have in my card no boundaries selected. Since mkgmap-r1707 some boundaries are shown as riverin QLandkarte GT. I have created some tracks which show this behaviour. Mkgmap-r1625 is o.k. You can download the tracks from here: http://www.dateihosting.de/file/details/172603/Pseudofluesse.gpx Greetings Josef

Commit: r1710: Better fix for the >= and <= operators.
by svn commit 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Version 1710 was commited by steve on 2010-10-05 13:11:15 +0100 (Tue, 05 Oct 2010) Better fix for the >= and <= operators. Tested with 'a=b & (smoothness ~ '.*(bad|horrible|impassable)' | sac_scale ~ '.*(mountain|alpine)_hiking') [0x1]' A quoted string should never be an operator. ie a = '>=' should be perfectly valid, this is now fixed too.

Commit: r1709: Recognise operators such as <= and >= that have two characters.

Version 1709 was commited by steve on 2010-10-04 14:46:27 +0100 (Mon, 04 Oct 2010) Recognise operators such as <= and >= that have two characters. The != operator happened to work or else this would have been spotted sooner. Tests written for <= and >=.

Goodbye
by Jeroen Muris 04 Oct '10

Hello WanMill and other active, helpful mkgmap developers, This is to let you know I give up on contributing to the mkgmap code. With your help I've been looking into it for a while and tried some things, but I must admit I don't have the time or the experience to make a difference. I believe my time is better spent mapping... Thank you all. J-----. Jeroen Muris
