Commit: r2654: Improve matching of street names for housenumber assignment
by svn commit 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Version 2654 was committed by wanmil on Sun, 30 Jun 2013 Improve matching of street names for housenumber assignment The housenumber handling uses the style sheet generated name of streets and matches that to the addr:street tag of housenumbers. The style sheet name is now stripped by the shield information (usually a ref) and text within brackets (also usually the ref name). This increases the match rate of housenumbers especially for streets with a ref.

No transliteration with CP1250
by Andrzej Popowski 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Hi, I'm creating map of Poland, for Polish I need CP1250. My map covers some area outside Polish border, where object names are written in Cyrillic. In this area I get names like '???????'. I would like to get possibility to use transliterate as a function in mkgmap style. For example I could use it like that: mkgmap:country=RUS & name=* { set name='${name:en}' | '${int_name}' | transliterate_to_ascii(${name}) } Or maybe there could be full transliteration support for CP1250? -- Best regards, Andrzej

Commit: r2658: Use mkgmap:street tag to get street name for house number search
by svn commit 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Version 2658 was committed by wanmil on Wed, 17 Jul 2013 Use mkgmap:street tag to get street name for house number search The house number matching algorithm now checks the mkgmap:street tag on roads. If it is set it uses it to match to the addr:street tags of house number elements. This enables style developers to put refs and other infos into the street name and at the same time have a good matching for house number search.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Commit: r2659: Make parameter housenumbers official
by "Maxim Düster" 20 Jul '13

Hello everyone! Can somebody explain me how the option --housenumbers works? It doesn't make any difference to me whether I use this option or not - the resulting gmapsupp.img has the same size. Should this function on the real device? On my nüvi I can enter any house number in the address search - the result is always one and the same point on the street and not the point nearest to the house I sought for. I tried it with the default style. The houses on the streets have addr:housenumber and addr:street set. The latter matches the street name. What should I take into account so that it works as expected? Do I misunderstand something? Max

splitter crashes on Windows x64
by Andrzej Popowski 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi, I'm creating maps for Europe, which is a big piece of data. Splitting it is a main problem. I'm using Windows 7 x64 and recent splitter 306. My experiences are following: Splitter on java 32bit and standard settings can split Europe. If I add contours data to Europe file, splitter on java 32 fails because of not enough memory, i can use maximum -Xmx1600M. Any use of splitter on java 64bit most probably will crash java VM. Usually this happens after 1 hour of work, often when starting processing second set of areas. I have many logs form crashes, but don't know how useful it could be. Logs contains info like: # JRE version: 7.0_21-b11 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (23.21-b01 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops) # Problematic frame: # J java.util.HashMap.put(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object; # Problematic frame: # J java.util.HashMap.containsKey(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z # Problematic frame: # V [jvm.dll+0x360038] # Problematic frame: # j java.util.AbstractCollection.toArray([Ljava/lang/Object;)[Ljava/lang/Object;+88 # Problematic frame: # J uk.me.parabola.splitter.BinaryMapWriter$PBFSerializer$Prim.addStringsToStringtable()V Splitting contours created for Europe by pphyghtmap with default settings usually fails. I have changed max-nodes-per-way form default 2000 to 500 which allowed splitter to finish this task. I understand that it is java x64 which crashes. But since 32bit version is already too limited to process big data, wouldn't be good to investigate this problem? Maybe you could make spliter compatible with 64bit version. -- Best regards popej

mkgmap multiple input files
by Andrzej Popowski 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

Hi, I would be interested in creating single img tile form multiple input files. Since description of "input-file" parameter is quite imprecise, I have done some testing. I have used template.args in a following form: mapname: 08900000 input-file: 08900001.osm.pbf input-file: 08900002.osm.pbf mapname: 08900001 input-file: 08900003.osm.pbf input-file: 08900004.mp What I have observed: If pbf files cover different area, then mkgmap creates separate img for each pbf. Second mapname seems to be ignored. Mkgmap outputs files with sequential numbers. Polish format mp is read, since mkgmap issues warnings, but these data aren't included in any img. And most interesting: if pbf files cover exactly the same area, they are merged into single tile. This is what I'd like to get. Unfortunately merging is not recognized when creating tdb, index and preview map. For this files, each pbf is treated as separate tile. Resulting mapset is not accepted by Mapsource, it refuses to start. I guess, that merging pbf into single tile is not supported and it is only some incidence, that it works for pbf with the same area. I would like to suggest, to make this procedure official and correct algorithms for Mapsource files accordingly. Could you for example consider new option, like "add-file", which would cause merging input file with a previous one? There shouldn't be much work for pbf, since it nearly works. And it would be a great help if it worked for polish format mp, since it would allow to add data, which is not available in OSM format. -- Best regards Andrzej

Stronger Intertile Routing Problems with Basecamp 4.2.1?
by Felix Hartmann 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

Well, I like some other people have noted that Basecamp 4.2.1 doesn't autoroute very well. I tried through many examples, and what I found out was that intertile routing seems to be the major problem. As soon as the route leaves one tile more than two times - to go back into it, seems to crash the routing - if it is the preferred way. Anyone else finds another solution? (hope this image passes the size limit of the mailing list..) -- keep on biking and discovering new trails Felix openmtbmap.org & www.velomap.org
