[PATCH v3] Advanced restrictions
by Nakor 15 May '10

15 May '10

Hello, Please find attached a new version of the patch. It will now give an error message instead of asserting when a via way has been split. It still has the following limitations: * If the via ways gets split for routing (like in http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/275622 where via way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/41694496 gets split at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62547613 because of an incoming ramp), the relation creation will be skipped * I did not try with more than one via way but it probably just fails as well * Restrictions with via ways are (unecessarly?) duplicated Thanks, N.

Another question to "Fix my address"
by Daniela Duerbeck 14 May '10

14 May '10

Hi! I am not sure, but do I see it correctly that now POIs that cannot have an address information do not get it showed, even if there is one supplied? Or does Garmin prevent to show address info for such POIs? I ask because I personally like to reuse unused POIs (like Marine POIs) to give other infos to them. So for me personally it would be better to add address info if there is one supplied and omit the "Fix my address"-info, if there is no address info. That would also satisfy the people that are "flash space oriented" since the boring "Fix my address" would not come if there is no such info in the database. E.G:: I use amenity=taxi [0x2f16 resolution 20] In Munich, these points have official names, that is in most cases the street nearby, most of them have a phone number, but they have no "legal" address. So in my maps, I find the "Fix my address" nevertheless for these points. But I get the phone number what can be very useful. I would propose just to show all of the address info that is supplied in the database and omit the "Fix my address" generally. And: There are many restaurants, etc. that are just mapped, also without further address info. I think that these will get their address infos with or without the "Fix my address" hint. And people who just want to find the next "italian restaurant" can navigate to it anyway. Dani

how to remove ways and nodes by a specific tag
by maning sambale 14 May '10

14 May '10

hi, Is there a way to do this in the styles? I basically want some ways and nodes completely removed based on a specific tag and not just the tags contained in it. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------

[PATCH] More restriction exceptions
by Nakor 13 May '10

13 May '10

Hello, After playing around with restrictions I found how to enable exception for pedestrian and emergency vehicles. The attached patch does just that. Now the subsidiary question: by default pedestrian routing follows restrictions. Should we make this the other way. But then is there a restriction type to enforce turn restrictions for pedestrians? An intermediate solution could be a command line option. BTW does anybody have a concrete example of pedestrian turn restriction? Thanks, N.

New mkgmap styles
by Marko Mäkelä 09 May '10

09 May '10

Thanks to Ralf Kleinesel, I successfully created a map with three layers, using three different styles: * default: the basic map * routes: public transportation (bus, rail, ferry) * control: traffic_calming=* points (for now; later, could display zebra crossings, traffic lights, speed limits, oneway streets and so on) I would like to commit the "routes" and "control" styles to mkgmap within a couple of days. If anyone has any objections, speak up now. The "routes" style misuses line styles 0x1d, 0x1e for bus and rail routes. These are good, because they are visible at almost any detail or zoom level. That is, the rail routes will not disappear when you zoom to wider than 500m, even though railways disappear. I created a custom TYP file with http://ati.land.cz/gps/typdecomp/editor.cgi for the line patterns and I plan to publish the TYP file at http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/ along with all other files. I believe that these layer style files would have to include a TYP file. I don't have a clear idea how to package the TYP files. Can mkgmap look for TYP files inside a style directory? Should it?
