Suggestions for DESTINATION hint and EXIT hint
by greg crago 10 Feb '16

I have added some SUBST to make the resultant strings look more like City Navigator. In you LINE file, look for "# start of rules for process-exits and process-destination options " dest_hint=* { delete dest_hint } (highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link | highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & mkgmap:dest_hint=true # { set dest_hint = '${destination:ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' | { set dest_hint = '${destination:ref|subst: =>|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W} ${destination:street|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy} - ${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}' | '${destination:street|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy} - ${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}' '${ref|subst: =>|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W} - ${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}' | '${exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W} ${exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | '${exit_to|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | '${destination|subst:;=>,|subst:/=>,}'; } # build exit hint exit_hint=* { delete exit_hint } (highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link | highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & mkgmap:exit_hint=true { set exit_hint = 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | 'Exit ${ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name|subst: Road=> Rd|subst: Street=> St|subst: Avenue=> Ave|subst: Mile=> Mi|subst: Boulevard=> Blvd|subst: Parkway=> Pkwy|subst: Highway=> Hwy}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref|subst: South=> S|subst: North=> N|subst: East=> E|subst: West=> W}'; } # use destination hint and/or exit hint to build name (highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link | highway=primary_link | highway=secondary_link | highway=tertiary_link) & (mkgmap:exit_hint=true | mkgmap:dest_hint=true) { name '${exit_hint} ${dest_hint}' | '${dest_hint}' | '${exit_hint}'} It might be nice if we could ABBREVIATE road names in the Default style, because all GPS have limited number of characters.

Can MKGMAP show DYNAMIC ADDRESS when you use a "PIN DROP" on your GPS?
by greg crago 10 Feb '16

I asked this question a couple weeks ago, but no response. City Navigator show Dynamic Addresses in BASECAMP and on my GPS. Can we do this with MKGMAP r3665? Greg

Re: [mkgmap-dev] TYPViewer

Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions on where to locate the latest version of TYPViewer to download. In the end I ended up using Nev Wedding's suggestion by going to this link: http://www.gpspower.net/creating-maps/218482-typ-viewer-24.html? This new version is compatible with Windows 10. There is a link under the Help menu that says "Manual", but when I click on it, nothing happens. Are there help files or a manual anywhere for this program? Mark Bradley

Creating custom TYP files for OSM maps. I use TYPWIZ4
by greg crago 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Some people have been asking what TYP program I use. I use TYPWIZ4 from Pinns http://www.pinns.co.uk/osm/typwiz4.html The FREE version has some limitations, but I have found it so useful, I have purchased the PERSONAL version for 15 POUNDS. It creates TYP files or TXT files. I use the TXT output and add it as the last option in my mkgmap command line. you set the FID and PID to match the .img file you are creating. It can make NIGHT images as well. It makes Polygons, Linetypes and Points. My maps look super cool, because I can modify any AREA, LINE of POI. If you want to make money for you maps, he sells a COMMERCIAL version of TYPWIZ4. Greg

amenity and shop tags on lines
by Jakob Mühldorfer 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi, I just noticed the default style drops stuff like "tourism" and "shop" and "amenity", when it is tagged on a line, like a building. Is there a style that converts these to proper POI, or a tutorial/example, how it is done. Best Regards Jakob

TYPViewer
by Mark Bradley 07 Feb '16

07 Feb '16

I decided to download TYPViewer. Following the link in the wiki took me to sites.google.com/site/sherco40/. This page states the latest version is 4.5 20. Yet in a blog on a separate website the writers were referring to newer versions, such as 4.5.35. I cannot find any site that offers anything newer than 4.5.20. Is the Google site the correct site for the latest version? When I try to run the program, I get this error message: Error 50003 (Unexpected error) in procedure Main of Module Demarrage, at line: 340 I'm running Windows 10. Is TYPViewer incompatible? I would appreciate input from anyone who has successfully used the program. Mark Bradley
