converting post codes to cities
by gbbickerton 17 Sep '13

It would appear that no one knows how to get a Nuvi to search for post codes so plan B is to convert all post codes to cities so that city search will find them not very elegant but if it works it will do. I have tried mkgmap:postal_code = * {set mkgmap:city = mkgmap:postal_code} but this does not seem to work, any suggestions?

Commit: r2706: Remove base-style from the no-name style.
by svn commit 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Version 2706 was committed by steve on Mon, 16 Sep 2013 Remove base-style from the no-name style. This could not be done at the same time that it was removed from the default style, because of the previous style include bug.

Commit: r2705: Include style files relative to the including style.
by svn commit 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Version 2705 was committed by steve on Mon, 16 Sep 2013 Include style files relative to the including style. The bug was that ff you include a file from the default style from within your own style, then any files that are included within that file will be opened relative to your style and not the default style. Now included files are opened in the context of the style from which they are included.

[PATCH v2] Move maxspeed calculations to style file
by WanMil 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

The patch moves the road speed calculations based on the maxspeed tag to the style file. It uses the new maxspeedkmh function to calculate the new internal tag mkgmap:road-speed-class. This makes the ignore-maxspeeds option superfluous. Anyhow I have kept it to ignore the evaluation of the new tag mkgmap:road-speed-class. The second advantage is that maxspeed can be removed from the builtin-tag-list which meaans the maxspeed tag is not loaded if not referenced in the style file. WanMil

Hi, can I limit map cover area using a detailed poly? I think that background object 0x4B is what define map area. Is there any possibility to define object 0x4B with a custom shape? -- Best regards, Andrzej

Do we need to add address to a polygon, if we want the resulting POI to have an address? (inc/address exists in POI file)..

Check style AND type
by Bernhard Hiller 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Is there a possibility to check a style together with the corresponding type file? For example, a type could contain a line/poi/area which is not used at all in the style. The other way round may be less important due to Garmin's default style, I think it should be possible to check that too. But most important is consistency: yesterday I stumbled upon a combination with POI 0x3007 being an embassy in the style file, and a prison in the type file. How can we easily detect such problems?

postcode search on nuvi 200
by gbbickerton 05 Sep '13

I have created a map which includes uk post codes from an osm file I have made from the post code open data, the origional garmin map gives the option to find city/post code but my map only gives the option to find a city how do I make a map which will have the option to search for a post code ? also the purple line showing the route is on top of the road on the garmin map but under the road on my osm map (I have set the draw priority to 30 which is the same as the city navigator) can I change this ?

Use of ' include "points" from default; ' in custom style file
by Steve Brophy 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

I have been replacing my use of base-style with 'include' statements and encountered a problem using eg 'include "points" from default;'. When I do this, mkgmap reports that it can't find 'inc/address' , which is included in the default style points file. It turns out that mkgmap is looking for it in my style directory, rather than in the built-in inc location where the default style is located. To work around this, I had to copy the 'inc' directory from mkgmap.jar to my custom style directory. Not an ideal solution, since I would have to do this every time I update mkgmap. Is this a bug, or intended functionality? Regards, Steve
