Routing jumps
by Ervin Malicdem 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Anybody have the same issue? About 3 users have already reported routing jumps to a straight line on most of the newer Garmin models. They have reported that the issue happens with Nuvi 66 BMW Navigator V, Nuvi 35; but does not happen in older Montana, Nuvi 1360, Zumo 350. Thanks in advance.

Buildings with wrong corners.
by d.kwapisz 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi, The buildings which are correct in OSM, after using 'mkgmap', they haven't right angles (the edges are not perpendicular). There are any 'mkgmap' options responsible for this? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I attached file with two screens (from OSM and BaseCamp). Best regards Dariusz Kwapisz

TYP files and oruxmaps
by Pedro Torres 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hello, I am trying to open a map that I created with mkgmap with a TYP file in oruxmaps (Android app). I can load the map with success in my Garmin device or Basecamp but can't open it in oruxmaps. The maps is not rendered correctly. If a create a IMG file without the TYP file, I can open it in oruxmaps (but its too much ugly). What's is the best way to fix it? Thanks, Pedro

Data / routing issue - Vancouver, BC ferries
by Samuel Longiaru 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Greetings all, I have been lurking on this list for several years now and first want to congratulate all for such a fantastic project. Very, very nicely done! But I have run into an issue with the maps I create of British Columbia and am unable to determine whether it is a data or mkgmap issue. The problem is that ferries coming out of the Tsawwassen ferry terminal to/from Vancouver island do not get routed. For example finding a route from Kamloops (BC interior) to Victoria, the route on my Nuvi 255 shows a 1400 km diversion north to the coastal town of Bella Coola, then a ferry to Port Hardy on the north end of the island, then south to Victoria. This routing is suggested whether I use maps I've generated myself or ones downloaded from garmin.openstreetmap.nl. It is interesting, however, that other routing engines (GraphHopper, OSRM and Mapzen) route over the ferries as expected... Kamloops direct to the Tsawwassen terminal, then ferry to the island. I question, however, whether the ferry routes are mapped properly as just west of the Tsawwassen terminal is a node where all routes join and branch http://openstreetmap.org/node/660826272 . A similar node exists east of the Swartz Bay terminal on Vancouver Island - 323308217. The wiki documentation for tag route=ferry states in part "The ferry route must not branch in the water, so it must always be drawn to the ferry dock. This is important for routing to work correctly." So when the wiki says that it is important for routing... whose routing? Clearly this is not a requirement for these other engines, but is it the case for us? If we need data in the form as that described in the wiki, then I will contact the Talk-CA list and see if there is someone local who can fix it... i.e., recreate it as per the wiki standard. Otherwise, if the wiki is outdated and the data are acceptable, then could there be a problem here, or could I just need an adjustment to something in my args list? Thanks in advance, Samuel Longiaru Kamloops, BC Canada

Colouring of island not correct
by Christoph Karl 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

Hi! I tried to generate a gmapsupp.img with mkgmap. I have done this with: /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_144/bin/java -Xmx8G -jar ./mkgmap-r3993/mkgmap.jar -- gmapsupp karten/corse-latest.osm.pbf But the colouring of the landscape is not correct. See "corse_wrong_colour.png" Compared to "bremen_correct.png" Screenshots are made from qlandkartegt Version 1.8.1. I also tried to use "--precomp-sea=./karten/sea.zip", but this just colours the surrounding sea. Do you have any ideas? Thank you Best Regards Christoph

"shop=no"
by Bernhard Hiller 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

In the forum, there is a discussion on the enormous variety of values for some tags, see https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=55541 (in Dutch). There is also a link to a list showing the different values for the "shop" tag: http://mijndev.openstreetmap.nl/~marczoutendijk/taginfo-shop.html You can see there that the combination "shop=no" exists 2372 times, "shop=none" 4 times. With our current default style, they'd be summed up by the line shop=* [0x2e0c resolution 24] which just would make them into a shop. I guess we should better ignore the shop=no/none combination (note: a value containing "no" may still be correct), and provide a PoI based on the other tags for that node. What do you think? Regards, Bernhard

Version mkgmap-r3994 was committed by gerd on Sun, 20 Aug 2017 default style: change handling of place=island and place=islet in polygons 1) Move the rules below the evaluation of landuse and natural tags so that those tags are preferred 2) Ignore huge place=islands as type 0x53 is not suitable for them http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=3994

How to identify beginning and end of a route?
by nwillink 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi I read the following: Matching member roles by regular expression Currently, apply role=value is for fixed strings. I'm not quite sure what 'fixed strings ' means but perhaps it means that the unique properties of individual members of a relation cannot be parsed. This is a shame as it would be great to mark the start and end of cycling / hiking routes. In osm we can mark the start of a route using role="start" ,ie <member type="node" ref="454189725" role="start"/> <tag k="name" v="Otter Valley Walk"/> <tag k="network" v="rwn"/> <tag k="osmc:symbol" v="blue:green:yellow_pointer"/> <tag k="ref" v="OVW"/> <tag k="roundtrip" v="no"/> <tag k="route" v="foot"/> <tag k="type" v="route"/> </relation> However, I've not been able to capture this node. I wonder if anyone has an answer? r Nick -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/How-to-identify-beginning-and-end-of-a-route… Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

mkgmap:fast_road
by Alexandre Loss 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi Gerd, Sorry If I missed the discussion about the tag "mkgmap: fast_road", but I did not see anything about this in the manual and neither searching the net. I became aware of this tag by downloading the mkgmap 3993 and analyzing the changes in the standard "line" and "relation" files. What is the pratical result/behavior of this tag in the routing? Thanks. Alexandre Loss
