Hi Ticker, see https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=3948 https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=3949 the sortResource.patch reverts these changes. In Mapsource the results are a bit better with your patch. I'll try again with my Oregon later. Gerd

some findings about NT format
by Gerd Petermann 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hi all, my findings so far which are not used / needed in GPXSee. Maybe it helps someone else: - method linkLabel() could extract further road labels, bit 0x800000 flags the last of up to 4 labels. - method linkLabel() extracts a flag, the bit 0x08 in this flag seems to signal a tunnel. No idea yet what the other bits mean. - the flags field in struct LinkInfo is used like this (netfile.cpp) bool firstIsShape = (linkInfo.flags >> 10) & 1; bool singleTopology = (linkInfo.flags >> 9) & 1; bool hasLevels = (linkInfo.flags >> 11) & 1; My guesses about the meaning of the lower bits: // int road_speed = linkInfo.flags & 7; // bool oneway = (linkInfo.flags >> 3) & 1; // int road_class = (linkInfo.flags >> 4) & 7; - The NET header can have two more sections, e.g. I see 00000684 | f6 cb 13 00 | NET5 ???, offset 13cbf6 00000688 | 96 0a 01 00 | NET5 ???, length 68246 0000068c | 23 00 | ??? 0000068e | 8c d6 14 00 | NET6 ???, offset 14d68c 00000692 | 28 05 00 00 | NET6 ???, length 1320 00000696 | 03 00 | NET6 ??? record size 3 00000698 | 02 00 00 00 | ??? NET6 contains a list of offsets into NET4, they are in sorted order and each offset points to the byte following the flag byte that is read in linkLabel() I see 440 recrods here, and 441 NOD6 records in the corresponding NOD file, so they are obviously related (field blockIndexId). I've not yet found where the address info like city name, zip name, and house numbers are stored. Maybe that's in NET5. I think in the old non-NT format there is no need to know NOD data to be able to read NET, so I woulld expect that this is also possible with NT maps. Gerd

lake made up from multipolygon relation
by 7770 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hi. The type=multipolygon relation with number 2 141 543 is a lake. it has the tags: natural=water and water=lake. The included members (lines) does not have these tags. This lake is not rendered when i generate maps. other lakes (which are regular enclosed polygons) render just fine. The lake and relation does not look wrong but i maybe something is incorrect in it, which i dont understand. Or, could i have missed something in a style that should deal with such lakes? The lake is called Haggen, it is in Ludvika and Smedjebacken municipality in Sweden. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2141543 Regards Karl

Hi Karl, I just have a look with JOSM of the Haggen lake. At first sight, all seems good. I also downloaded a little surface around Ludvika with data from https://extract.bbbike.org/ After using Splitter and mkgmap, the lake seems correctly displayed in Basecamp. The result in Basecamp is given here https://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/550/Haggen-Ludvika.pdf Probably a little issue in polygons style files.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Contour lines with "Artefacts" near a vertical line situated at W0° 00' 00"
by Gerard Cattiaux 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi Bernhard, I recently made a few new tests with an old release of phyghtmap (the release 1.47 tested §4.3 Windows Installation, see http://katze.tfiu.de/projects/phyghtmap/) A comparison between hgt2osm and phyghtmap (1.42) is given at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1loWwr6JE9wq1rORKWae7CNAqn0t3h62L/view?usp=s haring We also can see cut contour lines only at 0°. But phyghtmap don't generate horizontal lines. IMHO I think that this little issue could be easily solved by Frank Stinner the developer of hgt2osm. I tried to send him an email about these "artefacts" near 0°, hopping the email addresses are correct and in usage. fstinner at gmx.de frank.stinner at kabelmail.de Best regards, Gerard De : mkgmap-dev [mailto:mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk] De la part de Bernhard Hiller Envoyé : vendredi 11 mars 2022 17:23 À : mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk Objet : Re: [mkgmap-dev] Contour lines with "Artefacts" near a vertical line situated at W0° 00' 00" Hi Gerard, you can check the elevation contour lines by opening the file generated by your tool in e.g. JOSM (my take some time when the file is large). Strange distortions are expected at the borders of the whole set of input files, but not where input files are adjacent to each other. Your description seems to hint to a bug when crossing the 0°-meridian. I do not know how srtm2osm reacts there, it might be worth to try it.

Update on mapnik.txt typ file
by Joris Bo 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi, In attachment a new version of the mapnik.txt typ-file. The one that comes with mkgmap at the moment is not editable by typviewer. I made the follwing changes to be alligned with mkgmap-4895 default-style - Compiled to .typ with mkgmap, opened with typviewer and exported as utf-8 to make it typviewer compliant again - Recreated language 0x04 English if not exists anymore - Made translations 0x00 (unknown/default) same as 0x04 English - If 0x00 Default does not exist, created copy from 0x04 englisch - Re-translated some items - Added amenity=bench 0x6505 - Added water point 0x650d - Added symbol for borderpatrol same as police - Duplicate camp_site 0x2b03 from 0x2b05 Kind regards, Joris

Bug in LblFileReader
by Gerd Petermann 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hi devs, one of the reason that I needed so long to figure out the zip/city encoding in the NT format is that LBLFileReader.getZips() returns a more or less shuffled version of the list of zip codes in the LBL file. Reason is that we store the zips in a HashMap instead of an ArrayList. No idea why we do that. It seems it did no harm so far... Gerd

Hi Gerd and Bernhard, I made a lot of complementary tests that are still in progress to try to understand the issue. Among these tests, the main results are: 1) Just after the conversion of one elementary tile (ex: N45W001.HGT ) with hgt2osm, I can see the artefacts when I edit "mycontour.osm.pbf" with JOSM. 2) I generate contour lines for a large surface comprising Benelux and France, except a vertical band around 0% (see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r3v3UBc_Cfdm2vw1VepIvN3oM1JJVBp3/view?usp=s haring NB: I use Data from SONNY https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/dtm-europe?locale=en) because they are for me the best data for Europe, data are from 2021 and comprising LIDAR measurement. --> The result after: All the contour lines are perfect. I don't see any problem !! 3) I generate contour lines for the vertical band around 0° In France and a local zone in SPAIN --> The Result: All contourlines have the Artefact at 0° 4) I choose also to generate contourlines from an another source of DEM data for France around 0° (ALOS data from Japan Aerospace https://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/index_e.htm) --> The Result : Contourlines have all the same artefacts, just after conversion with hgt2osm. It is very clear for me, that SPLITTER and MKGMAP do perfectly their jobs. For now, I will try to have a look on using osm2srtm, but I am not sure that it is possible to have the choice to use the recent data from SONNY as input files !!
