Build instructions
by Jeremy Audet 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi all, I maintain the mkgmap and splitter packages in the Arch Linux AUR. [1] [2] As far as I can tell, both of these applications require Java 8. For example, if splitter is executed with Java 7, it will throw a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError. [3] Consequently, I've set both mkgmap and splitter to require Java 8. However, the mkgmap dev instructions indicate that Java 7 is supported. Is Java 7 supported? When responding, please cc me, as I'm not subscribed to mkgmap-dev. -Jeremy [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mkgmap/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/splitter/ [3] https://pastebin.com/ZgceAK0w

Commit r4105: improve description of options
by svn commit 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Version mkgmap-r4105 was committed by gerd on Sun, 04 Feb 2018 improve description of options documentation-v4.patch by Mike Baggaley: -- Clarification that if you specify --route you do not also need to specify --net. -- Clarification that --net is for producing a map with full address search but no routing. -- Clarification that 25 is the default value for --draw-priority. -- Reversed the order of --transparent and --draw-priority so that the reader knows about transparency before reading about the drawing priority. -- Added a set of equivalents to --polygon-size (that I hope I have understood correctly). http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=4105

documentation improvements
by Mike Baggaley 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi Gerd, I have attached a further patch for documentation improvements. This clarifies the syntax for several of the options and moves all the deprecated and obsolete options to the end. Please review and commit if happy. In further reading the documentation, I have the following questions that require clarification in the documentation: What are the units for --polygon-size-limits? Can we clarify --draw-priority=25. There is no explanation of what the 25 does. Is this only value that can be provided? What is different if this option is not provided? The operation of the --max-jobs option seems illogical. Why is the default not to use all the CPU cores and hence presumably minimise execution time? Cheers, Mike

Please help with news about new DEM options
by Gerd Petermann 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi all, with r4093 I've merged the dem-tdb branch into trunk. I think it would be good to mention this in the "Latest news" on [1] , maybe with one or two screen shots, but I have no idea how to write this "from a users view". Do we need a how-to that describes the sources for hgt files and maybe more about the new options? It would be great if somebody could help with that. Gerd [1] http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/

Error in style file relations?
by Gerd Petermann 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi all, the default style contains this: # European E-Road network route=road & network=e-road { apply { add ref='${ref}'; add int_ref='${int_ref}'; add network='e-road' add mkgmap:fast_road=yes; } } If I got that right there should be a semicolon after add network='e-road' Or is this a very special syntax?

MapSource also sometimes crashes with DEM data produced by BuildDEMFile
by Gerd Petermann 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi all, not sure what that means but I am also able to reproduce the problem when I create the DEM data with Franks program BuildDEMFile using my modified hgt file containing some voids. The voids are far from the route that causes the crash, somewhere around N52.24588 E10.50330. I've uploaded a new test set here: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/412/baddem6b.7z I hope Frank has an idea where to fix this. ciao, Gerd

Commit r4101: pass original bounding polygon to HGTConverter
by svn commit 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Version mkgmap-r4101 was committed by gerd on Fri, 02 Feb 2018 pass original bounding polygon to HGTConverter This reduce problems with --dem-polygon but doesn't solve them all. It seems that we always run into problems when the hasExtra flag is set http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=4101

Why is mkgmap the option --country-name=name
by Eugeny_B 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Why is mkgmap the option --country-name=name and --country-abbr=abbreviation, that it can not take the country name from --bounds=directory|zipfile with -code-page=number and -name-tag-list? -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Mkgmap-Development-f5324443.html
