no cities found on large areas with --x-split-name-index option

Hi, I ran into a problem with the --x-split-name-index option. When I build the geofabrik extract for Ontario with the following options, the 'Where to -> Cities -> Spell Name' works properly. http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/canada/ontario-latest.osm.pbf java -jar splitter/dist/splitter.jar --geonames-file=cities1000.zip --output=o5m --mapid=20244000 --max-threads=1 --status-freq=0 --max-areas=50 ontario-latest.osm.pbf java -jar mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --route --add-pois-to-areas --bounds=bounds_20160628.zip --index --gmapsupp --housenumbers -c template.args --x-split-name-index --description="Ontario Test" When I build the geofabrik extract for Canada with the same options, the 'Where to -> Cities -> Spell Name' doesn't work. http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/canada-latest.osm.pbf java -jar splitter/dist/splitter.jar --geonames-file=cities1000.zip --output=o5m --mapid=20244000 --max-threads=1 --status-freq=0 --max-areas=50 canada-latest.osm.pbf java -jar mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --route --add-pois-to-areas --bounds=bounds_20160628.zip --index --gmapsupp --housenumbers -c template.args --x-split-name-index --description="Canada Test" For the map of Canada, the cities still show up in the list but they aren't found if you search for them. Removing --x-split-name-index fixes the problem. It's not a huge issue because I can just remove this option but I did want to report the problem to you. Thanks, Ben

Displaying highway shields on custom highway symbology
by Mark Bradley 04 Jul '16

Greetings list. I have added code to my style file to display highway shields on highways, as is customary on maps in the United States. This works fine as long as I use the default mkgmap symbology. I tried substituting some custom linetypes for my highways, using a TYP file, and the shields disappeared. Do the shields only work with the default symbology? Mark Bradley

Removing building polygons from the map
by Alexandre de Menezes 02 Jul '16

Hi everyone, The styles I am using add polygons to every building on the map. I never thought it was a problem, but recently someone did a mass import of all the buildings in my city and I started to get performance problems during GPS use. I want to avoid the polygons on the map, but I don't want to miss the POIs. I had partial success editing the polygon style file and removing this line: |# building tag should be last #(building=* | amenity=*) & area!=no & amenity!=grave_yard [0x13 resolution 24]| I believe this removes all buildings for which there's no other rule converting it to a POI. Can I remove all the other building polys too, since I am using the --add-pois-to-areas option, or I this will discard all the POIs? Thanks in advance, Alexandre de Menezes
