Hi, The default style currently has information=guidepost POIs set as a toilet icon. This patch changes information=guidepost to be an 'i' in a circle. For reference, here's an example of a POI with this tag: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2883638464 Thanks, Ben

Hi, don't know who is responsible for this, but when I look at e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/history#map=15/55.0688/-2.5680 I see generated messages like "Geschlossen vor vor etwa 10 Stunden von ..." (note the duplicated "vor") Who's maintaining that code? Gerd

Problem with aeroway=aerodrome as a relation
by Nelson A. de Oliveira 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Could somehow mkgmap have an issue with aeroway=aerodrome as a relation? (instead a simple closed way) For example, this airport http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/90834745 have its internal grasses properly represented like here: http://cocardl.com.br/pv/viracopos.jpg On the other hand, this airport http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3896781 seems to overlap every internal feature (like grasses): http://cocardl.com.br/pv/galeao.jpg Is mkgmap giving different treatments for aeroway=aerodrome as a closed way and as a relation?

Marine charts and Garmin 4+ firmware : "Map format not supported" Error
by ubik 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Hello, I wonder if someone is working or has a solution for marine Garmin's plotters firmware 4+ (e.g. echoMAP 4.60). It seems that no one is working on the infamous "map format not supported" error given by newer devices and openseamap charts. Maybe there is someone who is expert in RE field and take a look at the latest firmware upgrades. A downgrade to earlier versions is not a good solution; in any case ... it is not a firmware bug (as mentioned in the wiki of osm) but it is a "feature" introduced on purpose to block third-party map producers. I'm a developer but I do not have all the necessary skills to investigate and research completely by himself. I would like to know if there is someone I can get in touch... thanks, Leo

Attributes that correspond with Garmin Format?
by Nick Papadonis 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

Hi Folks, I’m have a number of trail maps in ArcMap format that I’m considering converting to Garmin .img. I have tried a few different utilities, however it appears they are having issues with incorrect or null attribute formats. What I notice is these vector maps consist of a number of polylines with attributes ObjectID, Shape, Type, Name, Shape_Length and Code. The Type field is <Null> on all the lines, however the Code changes depending on the type of line. I’d like to convert this data to Polish MP or OSM and use mkgmap to create the Garmin image file, however I’m a bit puzzled by the attribute fields and what to use for values. Is there a mapping somewhere of what attribute fields mkgmap and/or Garmin format expects? I.e. field and value which would specify a trail, a road, etc? Thanks so much, Nick
