PATCH: Support place polygons in preprocessed bounds
by "Maxim Düster" 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hello everybody! I've attached a patch that supports processing of place polygons in precompiled bounds and using of this information in the style file. See my earlier message: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2015q1/022619.html. You can use it like following (as example): # Russia mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' } mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & (mkgmap:place=city | mkgmap:place=town) { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:place_name}' } mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level6=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' } To get this working, you have to create your own set of precompiled bounds with additional rule "type=multipolygon and place= and name=" for osmfilter and a run of BoundaryPreprocessor to set the variables mkgmap:place (attribute 'place' from the multipolygon) and mkgmap:place_name (attribute 'name' from the multipolygon). Cheers! Max

How to display U. S. highway shields with numbers only
by Mark Bradley 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Steve, thanks for your reply. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I've been away from the list for a couple weeks. I just tried the link myself and it worked; I must've mistyped the address in my browser the first time. Sorry 'bout that! :^) ------------------------------------------ In the style manual I can only find the URL http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html which is still valid and correct. Have I missed one elsewhere? Its a reference work however and you would probably do better to read a short introduction elsewhere as you would only need a few of the constructs for use in style files. Best wishes ..Steve

echo improvements for elements with fake ids
by Mike Baggaley 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

The attached patch improves the echo and echotags messages by including the id of the original element when a fake id is generated by mkgmap, thus enabling you to find it in OSM. Please try, and commit if you are happy with the change. Regards, Mike

Support place polygons in preprocessed bounds
by "Maxim Düster" 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hello everybody! >From time to time I use mkgmap for producing Garmin maps for myself. Recently I needed to have a possibility for an entity to get the name of the place where the entity resides, just like it's the case with boundaries and admin levels. The purpose for me was to have easier address search and displaying in Russia where we have one particular region type with admin_level=6, that is named "городской округ" (city district). It's often the case that it contains only one city but the cities themselves are not being mapped as admin_level=x. So in my style, to fill mkgmap:city in these cases, I only can use the value of mkgmap:admin_leve6. But that official name can be quite long and unhandy, and the "normal" name of the city cannot be figured out automatically. For example: городской округ Жуковский => Жуковский Челябинский городской округ => Челябинск Зиминское городское муниципальное образование => Зима Somehow I overlooked WanMil's message from 2013 (http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2013q2/018003.html) and so I did the change myself in a local branch. Now I can write in my address style include something like this: # Russia mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' } mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & (mkgmap:place=city | mkgmap:place=town) { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:place_name}' } mkgmap:country=RUS & mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level6=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' } and get the proper city name in my map. Of course, to get this working, I had to create my own set of precompiled bounds with additional rule "type=multipolygon and place= and name=" for osmfilter and a run of BoundaryPreprocessor to set the variables mkgmap:place (attribute 'place' from the multipolygon) and mkgmap:place_name (attribute 'name' from the multipolygon). I don't know if it's a highly desirable feature, but probably someone else will find it useful and it could be added to a new release of mkgmap. Cheers! Max

Too many POIs
by Mike Baggaley 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hi all, In my map build I am getting too many POIs at a location (I am merging some other data with the OSM data), so some of my POIs are being discarded. These POIs are not vital, but it would be nice to include them if possible. As each subdivision only allows 255 points, I wondered whether a new subdivision could be created when one fills up. I'm new to the structure of the Garmin format, so I'm not sure whether the number of subdivisions can be changed 'on the fly'. Has anyone any suggestions as to whether this is feasible or a non-starter? Thanks, Mike

I'm a complete newbie here but have been using mkgmap for a while now with good results. I was just asking about the echotags feature on the OSM Garmin list, and more specifically what the long number was that precedes the message. Now I read that it will be made to do some useful work for OSMers. How long before this patch makes it into the released application do you think?

Hi Steve, with r440 you have changed NumberReader. I think you removed a check by accident, as the comment still relates to the old code. Please check the following patch, without it NetCheck often crashes.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] elevation data
by Mike Baggaley 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hi Andrzej, Thanks for the quick response. As it happens, I already had the show-profiles option in my configuration, but I was using just a gmapsupp.img file and I have now realised that the elevation data is available if I use the separate tile files and set the registry to install the map. Is there any way to get that data included in a gmapsupp.img file, or an extra file to distribute with a gmapsupp.img file? I'm trying to avoid having to use both the combined img file and all the components as well. Cheers, Mike
