I added mkgmap to my GitHub mirror on OpenStreetMap: http://github.com/openstreetmap/mkgmap It's just a git-svn conversion of trunk. Adding it there mainly for me and others who want to follow the project.

pois and wrong citynames
by Minko 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi, In all pois that can contain extra info fields for address information, a default city is automatically created by mkgmap (if it isn't already there in osm). Sometimes those place names contains the wrong cityname, so I wonder if there is a way to lookup a more correct cityname from the polygons style file, before this mkgmap process kicks in. For instance, I would like to add a statement in the points style file like addr:city which looksup the correct city name from the polygons style file, if a poi that lies within a polygon with the tags place=city/town/village (or boundary=city/..) or even landuse=residential (with a name). Or maybe even from multipolygons created from administrative boundaries (like municipalities)? For my custom map, I created transparent polygons for those areas, and in Mapsource the name of place=city etc shows up if I point with the mouse to a certain area within the polygon. So I wonder if it is possible to combine those names with the pois. Any ideas? Cheers, Minko

Family-name trouble when combining *.img to gmapsupp.img
by Marko Mäkelä 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi all, I created a "public transportation" layer for my map, with rail, bus, and ferry routes. I can select the layers in the Settings/Map menu of my Edge 705, and the transportation layer is transparent, as it ought to be. The only problem is that both layers are called the same in the Settings/Map menu. Here are the commands I used: * the base map as in http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/, 5 tiles (6324000[12345].img) default family-id (42, I assume?), family-name="OSM 5.5.2010" * the route map, 1 tile (73174273.img) java -Xmx1024m -jar ../mkgmap.jar --transparent --style=routes --latin1 --gmapsupp --remove-short-arcs --country-abbr=FIN --country-name=Finland --mapname=73174273 --description=routes --family-name=transport --family-id=3583 finland.osm * the combined map (1st try): both maps called "family name" java -Xmx1024m -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp 73174273.img 6324000*.img * the combined map (2nd try): both maps called "transport" java -Xmx1024m -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --family-name=transport 73174273.img --family-name=ways 6324000*.img * the combined map (3rd try): both maps called "ways" java -Xmx1024m -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --family-name=ways 6324000*.img --family-name=transport 73174273.img Questions: 1. Why does the 73174273.img appear below the 6324000*.img in the Garmin menu? Could the layers be sorted by family-id, that is, 42<3583? 2. Why is the family-name of the *.img not preserved? 3. Even if I enter --family-name twice in the combining step, why will both layers get the same name? Marko

family-id & Co.
by Christian H. Bruhn 07 May '10

07 May '10

Hi! I haven't really understand what are the following mkgmap-options are for: -family-id -product-id -series-name -family-name -area-name -description -country-name -country-abbr -region-name -region-abbr I only knew that the map should have the same family-id (or was it the product-id?) as in the TYP-file. But what about the others? Which are really necessary? And where will these informations be displayed? Christian

Ideas for via ways in turn restrictions
by Nakor Osm 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hello, Not sure if this was ever mentioned/explored before. I looked at the document at http://svn.parabola.me.uk/display/trunk/doc/nod.txt which indicates that a turn restriction is in fact 3 nodes and 2 ways and at cgpsmapper documentation where they mention that you can have 3 roads restrictions using 4 nodes. Taking a concrete example, I was wondering if relation 275622<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/275622>could be coded in the following manner in the NOD subfile: NODES: 62593962 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62593962>, 62593964 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62593964>, 62591266<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62591266>, 62591273 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/62591273> WAYS: 39800738 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/39800738>, 41694496<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/41694496>, 8731732 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/8731732> Unfortunately my knowledge of mkgmap/IMG file format prevents me of trying this but if someone wants to give it a try I would be happy to hear back from them. Thanks, N.
