Mapsource crashes while calculating a route
by Andrzej Popowski 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi, I have observed crashes for some time. Mapsource 6.16.3 indicates a bug in module MPL_MAP.CPP. Basecamp reports an error or goes into infinite loop. Now I have extracted minimal source data, which creates faulty map. Removing any road or even a crossing point restore routing. Bug exist in mkgmap r2815, r2857, r2889, r2975 and r2976. Map created by mkgmap r2795 works correctly. I'm attaching here files to reproduce problem: mkgmap.bat - batch, which I have used to create the map, test-a.pbf - very simple OSM source data, route.gpx - short route, which causes a crash in Mapsource. -- Best regards, Andrzej

process-exits vs process-destination
by Franco Bez 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hi all, is there a way to combine the features process-exits and process-destination in a single style ? Based on my experience process-desitnation does a marvellous job when entering a motorway ( does it also work with also trunk roads ? ), while process-extis is perfect when leaving a motorway or trunk road. For instance the roundabout here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.89665&lon=10.64805&zoom=17 has two exits towards the B12. Routing from the "Sudetenstraße" going North (maybe towards Augsburg) I would like the Garmin device to announce "5 th Exit - B12 (München)". On the other hand routing to the South (maybe Kempten) it should announce "2nd exit - B12 (Kempten)". Using process-exits this does not work, it's only "5th Exit - B12" resp. "2nd Exit - B12". I would have to use process-destination instead to get the desired messages displayed. Coming home from the trip, routing from the B12 towards "Sudetenstraße" I would like "exit to the right - Exit Kaufbeuren". Using process-exits this works perfectly. Would I use process-destination I would get "exit to the right towards B12 Verteilerring" or even "exit to the right towards Sudetenstraße" a really useless announcement as the sign on the trunk road reads "Kaufbeuren / Neugablonz / Mauerstetten". So this is why I would like to have an option that combines the functionality of process-exits and process-destination. Do you see any way to achieve this in one single style ? Ciao, Franco

Numbering loss in the version which came after the r3602
by Alexandre Loss 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Hi Gerd, Since yesterday we (a group that compiles maps in Brazil) begin to see some loss of numbers in some of our maps. As we had never had this problem before, I suspected that the error could have been introduced in some recent version of mkgmap. So, I restored some old releases for testing and I found that the numbering were generated correctly until release 3602 as seen in the image below in the white-box ("390 Rua Porto Alegre"): *Snapshot taken form MapSource of a map compiled wiht mkgmap r3602* [image: Imagem inline 1] Using the same source osm file, the numbering is lost in the street "Rua Porto Alegre" (for example), if the map is compiled with any newer release of mkgmap than 3602. The snapshot bellow was taken from a map compiled with release 3616:: *Snapshot taken form MapSource of a map compiled wiht mkgmap r3616:* [image: Imagem inline 2] These compiled maps img are available for tests at the file sharing area: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/270/03205200_r3602.img http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/271/03205200_r3616.img You can search for street "Rua Porto Alegre" to see the problem, but it problem can be found in other places too. My guess is that the problem arose when housenumber2 brahch was merged to trunk. If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you. Regards, Alexandre

No cities found
by Stéphane MARTIN 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi all, - Tested with ‘etrex 30’ and (very old) ‘etrex Vista Cx’. - Issue with my last map of France: big file (perhaps the problem), 1.6 Go, but not with the map for French Guiana, 4 Mo. - mkgmap-r3620 On the devices, I can search an address, with city's name, country. All is found. But if I search with ‘Where To?’ -> Cities, I found nothing ! Files, options are the same. Just, France gmapsupp is bigger ! My options: - splitter: splitter.jar --keep-complete=true --problem-report=problem-report-splitter.txt \ --geonames-file="$WORKDIR"/cities15000.zip \ --max-nodes=$MAXNODES --no-trim --precomp-sea="$WORKDIR"/sea.zip --write-kml="$COUNTRY".kml --mapid=$MAPID \ --output=pbf --max-areas=$MAXAREAS \ - mkgmap: mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp \ --max-jobs --latin1 --area-name=$COUNTRY \ --bounds=../bounds.zip \ --net --route \ --index --tdbfile --housenumbers \ --x-split-name-index \ --location-autofill=is_in,nearest \ --name-tag-list=name:fr,int_name,name \ --adjust-turn-headings \ --process-destination --process-exits \ --x-add-indirect-links \ --verbose \ --style-file="$WORKDIR/styles/$STYLE/" \ --list-styles --check-styles \ --family-name="$COUNTRY OSM $STYLE" \ --series-name="$COUNTRY-OSM-$STYLE" \ --mapname=$MAPNAME \ --overview-mapnumber=$MAPNAME \ --reduce-point-density=4 --reduce-point-density-polygon=8 \ --polygon-size-limits="24:12, 18:10, 16:8, 14:4, 12:2, 11:0" \ --preserve-element-order \ --add-pois-to-lines \ --add-pois-to-areas \ --report-similar-arcs \ --link-pois-to-ways \ --min-size-polygon \ --drive-on=detect --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares \ --make-opposite-cycleways \ --country-name="$COUNTRY" --country-abbr="$ABBR" \ --precomp-sea="$WORKDIR/sea.zip" --generate-sea=multipolygon \ Regards.

option to omit road refs from index
by mike＠tvage.co.uk 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi Gerd, please find attached a patch that adds a new option --omit-highway-refs-from-index, that causes labels containing highway shields to be omitted from the address index. Please try and commit if you are happy with it. Note, I am on holiday for the next week, so if it needs any changes, I will look at it when I get back. Regards, Mike

Object labels and zoom levels
by Carlos Dávila 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

I have the following problem in my maps: at low zoom levels MapSource renders the name of some highway=* objects in places such as villages or cities, but it doesn't show the names of the place=* object. Showing the name of a street in a village you don't know which one is doesn't seem to be very useful. Is there a way to control zoom level at which labels are rendered, independently from the resolution of the named object in the style? Is it possible to give precedence to place=* labels instead of highway=* ones? See attached screenshots of the same area at 5 km zoom level and high detail level from my maps, openfiestmap and openmtbmap to note the difference.
