Polygon 4A in mp sources
by Andrzej Popowski 15 Mar '20

15 Mar '20

Hi, I'm trying to edit and compile preview map in mp format. Unfortunately mkgmap forces a restriction: SEVERE (MapFailedException): img\Topo.mp: (thrown in PolishMapDataSource.checkType()) invalid type 0x4a for POLYGON I'm not sure, why this restriction exist. Is there any problem to accept polygon 4A in mp source? -- Best regards, Andrzej

Background in polish format reader
by Andrzej Popowski 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hi, the following quote from cGPSmapper describes peculiarities of command "Background=Y": If there is only one object set as the background, then the EndLevel is automatically set to 9. If there is no background object, or more than one, then the EndLevel is not changed. As I understand, background is a special object for cGPSmapper. If there is only single background in a source, then compiler can modify EndLevel value. Mkgmap doesn't change EndLevel. I prepared a patch, that simply extends EndLevel for any background object, which contains only "Data0=" layer. I hope this should work for most cases. Proper solution would be to count all background objects and conditionally modify single background after reading an entire source file. -- Best regards, Andrzej

Resolutions...

Hi Can anyone tell me what exactly the '-' in after resolutions means. I plotted a church resolution 21-23 only to find it does not include resolution 23. Somewhere I read that only the resolutions between the numbers are plotted. If that is the case what does 23-24 mean ? What resolution is there between 23 and 24 What happens with resolution 23-23 ? Does 23-24 mean only level 23 Is 24-23 different from 23-24? The manual does not seem to tackle this issue. btw Have noticed that Basecamp/Mapsource only plots 0x2c poi range at level 24 So the following might never occur in some GPS devices is except at resolution 24 0x2c02 [resolution 21 ] This seems to affect : viewpoints,churches,castles, schools,amusement parks etc Regards Nick -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html

Work on is_in branch
by Gerd Petermann 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi all, sorry, something is broken in the mail system. The latest posts don't appear on nabble (1) and my answers to existing threads are rejected. @Ticker: I'd prefer to do the merge and I think it should be done in IsInUtil. Your patch is_in-function_v7.patch goes in the opposite direction. Not sure what you plan to do now? Gerd (1) http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html
