Overview map
by Steve Ratcliffe 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi I have started to implement adding features into the overview map. You can find ready built jar files on the download page and in the 'overview' branch in subversion. It creates the overview map from the .img (as before) and so it is very quick to try out even on a set of tiles covering a whole country. There is no configuration yet, it just takes everything (lines and polygons) that is in the least detailed layer of the detailed maps and adds it into the overview. You will immediately notice a big problem in that the overview map shows up even when the detailed maps are being displayed, so you get ugly jagged lines across the top of the map. I remember this happening the last time we has an overview map and I wonder if anyone can remember if there was a solution then? I'm going to start by trying the (so-called) POI flags, as one of those has been noted to be set differently on detail and base maps before. ..Steve

Is it possible to change the license info which is embedded in the IMG header? Now it reads "OSM Street map http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Map data licenced under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 2.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/", but this is not correct when making maps from other data sources. For example contour line layers made of SRTM data do not contain any OSM data.

exclude words from city / state
by Felix Hartmann 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Using the locator branch, I noticed that many cities in Austria are not findable anymore. The problem is that there are words like "Gemeinde Mödling" or "Bezirk Mödling" or "county XYZ". There should be a list where one can enter words that get deleted. That is because for the boundary it is the correct name, but not for searching a street. Also there are problems in Austria in Vienna. Vienna is a state and a city, and ideally it should be possible to enter either the district or the city into the city field, in order to find a street. Currently it is not possible to properly separate cities outside Vienna from districts inside Vienna, as they have the same admin_level. But for the ise tags, there is a correct specification telling you that districts are not cities (from the standpoint of the admin_level, it is correct however to classify them the same as small cities outside of Vienna). So in effect if one does not enter specific rules for Vienna, address search can never work as expected. Admin_level was never intended to be used for address searching, hence taking it is flawed and will not provide correct results. Ise is intended for address searching, but mkgmap does not use it. In general after using the locator branch, I more and more think, that the whole matching is completly the wrong way of doing. Much better to support real addresses as entered in OSM, and not do so much guessing. Especially support housenumbers, as at least in Germany and Austria housenumbers including full ise tags are becoming the norm, and not the exception. Only footways, pathes, or tracks should be matched, as they usually have no real address - but then it's rare that one searches for a specific path/track/footway, only real use would therefore be

Problems with latest splitter versions
by Michael Prinzing 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

Hi, I am getting the splitter from svn, compiling and running it unter Windows XP SP3 using JDK 1.6.0_25. There are 2 problems if I am using a splitter version newer than r161 (tryed until r167 so far). 1.) germany.osm.pbf from geofabrik cannot be split -------------------------------------------------- Invoking the splitter with java.exe -Xms256m -Xmx1536m -server -jar splitter.jar --resolution=14 --overlap=4000 --max-nodes=1200000 --max-areas=50 --geonames-file=cities1000.zip germany.osm.pbf The data is split into 76 areas, so there are 2 passes to go. First, everything looks fine, but then, at the and of the first pass, the splitter "falls asleep", the CPU load for the corresponding JVM drops to 0% and there ist no further progress (except the memory stats being printed periodically). The output looks like this (cut a lot of lines): cache= description= geonames-file=cities1000.zip legacy-mode=false mapid=63240001 max-areas=50 max-nodes=1200000 max-threads=1 (auto) mixed=false no-trim=false output-dir= overlap=4000 resolution=14 split-file= status-freq=120 write-kml= Elapsed time: 0s Memory: Current 247MB (1MB used, 246MB free) Max 1484MB Time started: Wed Mar 02 17:11:11 CET 2011 Map is being split for resolution 14: - area boundaries are aligned to 0x400 map units - areas are multiples of 0x800 map units wide and high Processing germany.osm.pbf Bounding box 5.864417 47.26543 15.050779999000001 55.14777 10.000.000 nodes processed... id=283576079 20.000.000 nodes processed... id=355168786 30.000.000 nodes processed... id=495365986 40.000.000 nodes processed... id=699656373 50.000.000 nodes processed... id=998291790 60.000.000 nodes processed... id=1127935431 1.000.000 ways processed... id=25049151 2.000.000 ways processed... id=28822644 Elapsed time: 1m 59s Memory: Current 247MB (20MB used, 227MB free) Max 1484MB 3.000.000 ways processed... id=34073254 4.000.000 ways processed... id=40593158 5.000.000 ways processed... id=49931588 6.000.000 ways processed... id=61188933 7.000.000 ways processed... id=83211109 8.000.000 ways processed... id=93106763 9.000.000 ways processed... id=101081600 100.000 ways processed... id=1124462 in 1 file Time: Wed Mar 02 17:14:00 CET 2011 Exact map coverage is (47.26541519165039,5.864403247833252) to (55.147762298583984,15.05077600479126) Trimmed and rounded map coverage is (47.28515625,5.8447265625) to (55.1513671875,15.029296875) Splitting nodes into areas containing a maximum of 1.200.000 nodes each...

problems with rendering of long riverbank (multipolygons)
by Minko 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Recently someone noticed flooding on the openmtbmap in Belgium south of Maastricht: http://forum.gps.nl/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=34597&p=277200#p277200 I have noticed related issues with floodings west of Maastricht on Lambertus' maps and on my own Openfietsmap parts of the same Albertcanal are "dry". Main cause seems a very long multipolygon relation of the Albertcanal: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1424029 On places where the tile borders are crossing this multipolygon mkgmap has problems with rendering (because the ends of the multipolgygon are way outside the tiles). Splitting up the multipolygon in smaller parts in osm seems not the way to solve these rendering problems because I think it's a bug in mkgmap that should be solved here instead of on osm. Any ideas?

[PATCH] --ignore-builtin-relations
by Marko Mäkelä 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

There is an option to disable the processing of turn restriction relations (--ignore-turn-restrictions), but no option to disable the processing of multipolygon relations. The attached patch introduces --ignore-builtin-relations, which disables the built-in processing of all relations (currently, type={boundary,multipolygon,restiction}). This patch reduces the processing time of my simple map layers from 2.5 minutes to 2 minutes. OK to commit this? Marko

Index and equally named cities
by WanMil 11 Jul '11

11 Jul '11

Hi, there have been some reports on the list that there are problems searching for streets in cities with the same name but with different regions. I can confirm that and have created a very simple testcase to show that problem. Attached osm file contains two streets: 1: name=Hauptstrasse, city=Testcity, region=Region 1, country=DEU 2: name=Hauptstrasse, city=Testcity, region=Region 2, country=DEU So both streets differ only in the position and the region they contain to. The testfile should be compiled with the locator branch (parameter --index must be set). It's more easy to assign the city/region/country name I want to have with locator branch but with a modified testcase it should also work with the trunk. Now I can search for the street Hauptstrasse and get both streets as result (search1.png). When I add Testcity to my search I only get the street of Region 1 in my result although both streets should match the search. The testcase might be modified using two different streetnames (Hauptstrasse1 for street 1 and Hauptstrasse2 for street2). Entering a search for Hauptstrasse2 with city=Testcity will not find any result. Steve, do you have any idea where the problem might be located? WanMil

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Splitter PBF support patch
by Francisco Moraes 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Ok, take 2 on the splitter PBF patch. All new files should be present. I also fixed the EOL mode, so the diffs should be better. I don't have commit access and not looking for it at this point. To enable the PBF output, I added the option --pbf. If omitted, it should output the normal .osm.gz format.
