Lake Geneva
by Stéphane MARTIN 13 Oct '16

Hi, I have a problem with the rendering of Lake Geneva. I do not know how long. I just make a country (France) and this may be the problem. View in QLandKarteGT : http://tuxdomain.darktech.org/osm-garmin/view.php?file=France/LacL%C3%A9man… I thought it was because "water = lake" was missing in the water_polygons file, but the result is the same when added (water=lake [0x03c resolution 18]). "water = lake" is not present in default style. Is there a reason ? Do you have suggestions ? Priority draw order ? Because of the border cutting ? A relation and not a polygon ? Steph

site relations
by Dave Swarthout 10 Oct '16

Hi, I'm hoping to be able to render site relations in a way that would make them more visible. I have used them several times to group related objects but the names don't show when I compile my maps. Usually the sites I've tagged have been a group of buildings that are members of a named apartment complex, however, the names don't show up on my maps. Currently, there is no mention of type=site in my relations style file other than an echotags argument I inserted to indicate their presence. Another issue I have with relations is in tagging multipolygons, usually groups of lakes that have a single name. These do not display a name either. My relation file is the default mkgmap style which deals only with boundaries and transportation routes. Can anyone help explain how I can get this functionality?
