two weird issues
by Philip Homburg 06 Oct '17

06 Oct '17

I encountered two weird issues. The main one is that bicycle:backward=use_sidepath gets filtered out somewhere. I seems at anything that starts with bicycle and is not equal to bicycle doesn't show up. That was on r3766. I then upgraded to r3997 to see if anything would change. It did :-( Now highway!=track { echo 'foo' } gives an error: Error in style: Error: (lines:1): Invalid rule expression: $highway!=track foo!=bar { echo 'foo' } does work either. It seems to be related to the '!=' operator, because highway=track { echo 'foo' } is fine.

Devices not accepting non Garmin maps
by Carlos Dávila 05 Oct '17

Some user of my maps has reported that his unit doesn't read mkgmap maps. He asked Garmin service and they told device is blocked from fabric, so that it only accepts genuine Garmin maps. It seems to be a different problem than the unicode related one recently reported, as I don't use unicode. Do you know something about that limitation? Is there a way circumvent it?

hi, how can I find with my points style files, if a node is (or not) attached on a way or on a polygon? there's a way to do that? I mean for example something like this: information=guidepost & support=wall_mounted & (((way/polygon=true))) [0x7018 resolution 12] thanks! --enrico -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html

Hi Gerd, In my estimation my file is in utf-8, but when in file are national characters (Ł: U+0141, utf8 C581; ó: U+00F3,utf8 C3B3;ź: U+017A.,utf8 C5BA) mkgmap report an error (I attach 2 file - one with arguments and second with command line and error message) Best Regards Darek niedziela, 01 października 2017, 08:02AM +02:00 od Gerd Petermann GPetermann_muenchen(a)hotmail.com: >Hi Darek, >no.

Hi, Is it possible to display characters from Eastern Europe code page in Garmin unit (Oregon 650) which are in description fields (e.g. "description", "region-name" ...) in "template.args"? In which code page should be this file (utf-8,1250) and which parameter "code-page" ? Best Regards Darek
