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

Hi. For some reason it seems i am not able to perform this type of change in the finalize section. I get: Error in style: Error: (points:427): Unrecognised command '=' The lines in points finalize style looks like: name=* {name '${name}'} # next line to remove ' from names. name=* {set name='${name|subst:"'=>"}'} include 'inc/address'; Is this how it is supposed to look?

I copy a shortcut to the gmap folder to the maps folder rather than the whole thing. That saves C disk space.

Help with registry for Basecamp
by skelter helter 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hello I need some help with this email from Eric sent here on the list some weeks ago: If you are creating mkgmap tiles and you do not need to distribute your map to others, then the NSIS installer is not required. Initial installation requires importing registration data (.reg file). Creating an NSIS installer takes time and then installing setup.exe also takes time. For instance: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families\BIKE_Benelux] "ID"=hex:4a,9c "IDX"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.mdx" "MDR"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000_mdr.img" "TYP"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010.TYP" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Garmin\MapSource\Families\BIKE_Benelux\1] "BMAP"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.img" "LOC"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux" "TDB"="G:\\BaseCamp\\BIKE_Benelux\\40010000.tdb" Is there a way to create the REG file with Mkgmap, or do I have to create it by myself after generating the map ? If so, what is the meaning of the ID value and how do I choose the right one ? Thank you !!

NSIS option for Basecamp
by skelter helter 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

Hello Eric and Gerd, thanks for your reply. I create different tiles setting the Splitter to 1.600.000, then I add clipped contours and DEM with Mkgmap. I transfer the map with Basecamp/Mapinstall, both in the latest version available. When I click the button for a partial install, I can choose my map or the other I have installed. If I choose one of the others, such as Freizeitkarte, I get a full version of the map (I am working on Italy) divided into tiles, and I can select which ones I want to transfer to the device. If I do the same with my map, I get it already completely selected: I see the tiles, but I cannot select some of them, so my only option is to trasfer full Italy to the device. I tried many times and in one of them I was able to select the tiles... but I don't know how ! And then the map on the device wasn't complete: I had the selected area, but the contours and the shaded reliefs were not there. I am trying to do a partial selection because my map is slow when I use it on my Garmin: when I scroll the map I have to wait a few seconds to see the image, while with Freizeitkarte the loading is almost immediate. For this reason I would like to try to upload a small part, to have a lighter file. I also tried to edit my style files, removing all the objects I don't need, but it doesn't help... 🙁 Diego ________________________________ Da: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk> per conto di mkgmap-dev-request(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk <mkgmap-dev-request(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk> Inviato: mercoledì 1 febbraio 2023 12:00 A: mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk <mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk> Oggetto: mkgmap-dev Digest, Vol 175, Issue 1 Send mkgmap-dev mailing list submissions to mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to mkgmap-dev-request(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk You can reach the person managing the list at mkgmap-dev-owner(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of mkgmap-dev digest..."

Hello Eric Thank you very much for these precious informations ! Why do you think that I miss contours and DEM if i transfer only some tiles to the device? Also the style looks different… do I have to include my TYP file in the installer ? How ? Many thanks again Diego PS: about the fragmentation I agree with you, but still other maps are very fast, so I guess there is something wrong in my map. Maybe too many details at low zoom levels, or wrong contours… i am trying again and again compiling ten times a day, but still I can’t understand… PPS: should I reply to the list or directly to user emails? > Il giorno 2 feb 2023, alle ore 13:00, mkgmap-dev-request(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk ha scritto: > > Send mkgmap-dev mailing list submissions to > mkgmap-dev(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > mkgmap-dev-request(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk > > You can reach the person managing the list at > mkgmap-dev-owner(a)lists.mkgmap.org.uk > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of mkgmap-dev digest..." > Today's Topics: > > 1.

FW: NSIS option for Basecamp
by Joris Bo 01 Feb '23

Hi Diego, Do you want NSIS to install the map on the device or do you use basecamp to install the map on teh device? I also use nsis to install the map in basecamp but do not use it to install it on the device. You can additionally use the mkgmap option -gmapsupp to create a single 'img' file containing all the separated tiles combined en afterwords copy that file manually (or scripted) to your SD card. Your garmin device will detect it. When installing from basecamp I had to manually upgrade mapinstall 421.exe I managed to get it to work, but still stopped using this, since the single file created by gmapsupp option is much easier.
