2 Gb size limit gmapsupp?
by Minko 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

I have noticed that Basecamp and some (not all) GPS devices fails to read gmapsupp.img's > 2Gb size generated by mkgmap. Is this a known issue? One example you can download at: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5LoKTN293hkb3FBVmg1OGFROWVjNHZJQU5XMDdGQQ… I tested it with other files and everytime above or around the 2 Gb size the gmapsupp.img seemed corrupt (you will notice a red progress bar instead of a green one when opening the image in Basecamp). On a Dakota I can browse the map without problems, other users reported the map is visible in the menu but not visible on the map screen (Oregon, Gmap62). If I generate the gmapsupp.img with Mapsource everything works as expected.

How to avoid car routing on blocked roads ?
by toc-rox 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hi all, I want to avoid car routing on blocked roads (eg. roads with bollards in the middle of the road). mkgmap default styles (points): barrier = bollard | barrier = bus_trap {add access = no; add bicycle = yes; add foot = yes} [0x660f resolution 24] What I want to achieve: In "points" something like this: barrier = bollard {add carbarrier = yes} [0x660f resolution 24] In "lines" something like this: highway = * & carbarrier = yes {set toll = yes} Questions: - Is the default procedure (access, bicycle, foot) still working ? - Is it possible the set user defined values (eg. "carbarrier=yes") ? Klaus PS: The option "link-pois-to-ways" is set. --link-pois-to-ways If this option is enabled, POIs that are situated at a point in a way will be associated with that way and may modify the way's properties. Currently supported are POIs that restrict access (e.g. bollards). Their access restrictions are applied to a small region of the way near the POI. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/How-to-avoid-car-routing-on-blocked-roads-tp… Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

known issues with Garmin Montana?
by aighes 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Hi, are there known issues with mkgmap-generated maps and Garmin Montana? One of my mapusers has the following problem. My map of Germany is on SD-card. He can activate the map, but mapscreen stays blank (only gpx etc. is shown). But if the Montana is connected to the pc, the map will be shown correctly in BaseCamp. I have no problems using my maps with my Oregon, also no other user report a problem with other devices. Someone any guesses? Maps are found here: http://www.aighes.de/OSM/index.php Henning

Splitter ignores Relation->Relation ?
by GerdP 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

Hi, Maybe splitter contains an error. OSM data contains relations that are members of other relations, e.g. relation 349029 contains relation 339738 and is part of relation 349041. I don't see code in splitter that takes care about this fact, means, a relation is written to those tiles that contains ways or nodes of it, but the (sub-)relations are ignored. In the worst case, a relation contains only relations and is therefore completely dropped by splitter. Is this intended?

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Etrex routing problem
by Angus Cameron 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hello, I can reproduce your problem on my Vista HCx by simply choosing "Show Basemap" in the "Setup Map" menu. By choosing "Hide Basemap" the purple line reappears. Does that help? Cheers From Maetma 91 maetma91 at gmail.com on Tue Mar 13 14:58:43 GMT 2012 Hello, I excuse in advance if this is not the good email for the question. Recently when I route on my Etrex Vista the map is displayed over on the purple line that shows the road to take. I am very sure that before the purple line was over. The problem is now routing is not utile anymore to me because I use my Etrex for walking. I cannot see the road to take on the map anymore. Is there something I can do with my GPS or mkgmap to get the road I have to follow on the top ? Thank you

Hi WanMil, attached is a patch that changes the logic in BoundaryQuadTree to solve the problem around the canarian islands. You have to create new *.bnd files.
