polygon splitting/more than 255 polygons errors

Hi, I have recently downloaded some mkgmap generated maps that produce this error when displayed in navit: :garmin_obj.c:1279:1|:Error more than 255 polygons/lines in a subdiv are not supported It seems there were some patches for this around, did they get integrated? Do they require some special option? Tried to reporduce the issue it with mkgmap-r2009 and attached test data, I get neither the above error but the object (the Altenburg in Bamberg) isn't displayed either.

Garmin feature codes
by Bob Hawkins 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

I am trying to understand the mysteries of Garmin feature codes. I am guided by the list that is in the cGPSmapper manual plus other sources, some of which have quite obscure codes, in creating my personal .typ file that is used in conjunction with mkgmap. Such codes are necessary in order to obtain greater variation in representation of, say, various land use features. Yet I cannot ascertain whether these codes are recognised by my Legend HCx until I upload the resultant gmapsupp.img, and often they are not recognised. Does this depend upon the individual GPS device or its firmware? Does anyone know of custom codes, particularly for polygons and polylines, that are usually recognised by Garmin devices? Bob Hawkins
