Address search doesn't work either on a Nuvi 310 and Dakota 20. Probably the same for Oregon/Colorado models. It pops up with a question of state/province and then it finds nothing.

regression in r1431
by Valentijn Sessink 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi list, I found a grave routing difference between mkgmap r1430 and r1431, when I set routing to "bicycle", "shortest route". r1430 (and older) sends me right to my target; r1432 (and newer) meanders around like there's no other things to do than pedaling around in the countryside. Really: a mere 15 kilometer trip will increase to 57 kilometers! I'd guess this is mainly because of: -highway=unclassified [0x06 road_class=1 road_speed=2 resolution 21] +highway=unclassified [0x06 road_class=0 road_speed=3 resolution 21] ... but other factors in r1431 may add to this. As far as I can see from the mailing list, r1431 patch *improves* routing over large distances (see mailing list, messages with subject "Patch for better Autorouting", 2009-12-01 and further). Now what to do? (Maybe it's time to have a separate bicycle routing style in mkgmap?) Best regards, Valentijn

Trying to find out why some POIs are not generated
by Daniela Duerbeck 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi! I try to find out now why some POIs are not generated from areas. I added: // check if there is not already a poi in that shape log.info("already there: ", poiMap.findPointInShape(shape, pointType, shapeName)); to MapMaker.java and got: 2010/04/08 23:52:48 INFO (MapMaker): ../tiles_muc/63240347.osm.gz: Aktueller shapename: Tierpark Hellabrunn 2010/04/08 23:52:48 INFO (MapMaker): ../tiles_muc/63240347.osm.gz: already there: uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.general.MapPoint@43d122 So this POI prevents mkgmap from making a new one. :But where does it come from? TIA, DAni

NSIS Problems with 2G limit
by Christoph Wagner 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hello, while I'm trying to build an mapsource installer with the --nsis option and makensis for the garmin all in one for europe I get the following error after a while with makensis: Internal compiler error #12345: error mmapping file (2141990789, 4569600) is out of range. Note: you may have one or two (large) stale temporary file(s) left in your temporary directory (Generally this only happens on Windows 9x). ------------------- I will attach the whole ouput from makensis, but I think the problem is, that europe is too big now. The imgs together have a size of 2,1G. Is 2G a fix limit of this nsis stuff or is it a bug somewhere? (Yeah, I know - the bug is windows...) :) Thanks Christoph

Another question to the zoom levels
by Daniela Duerbeck 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi! In the default style, I find in the options: levels = 0:24, 1:22, 2:20, 3:18, 4:16 But in the files (polygons, lines, points) the following resolutions are used: 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 I think I have read somewhere that just these from the options may be used? Dani

Re: [mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] Routable pedestrian areas
by Minko 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

On my "Openfietsmap" a routable cyclemap of the Benelux, I use in the style file highway=pedestrian & area=yes [0x08 road_class=0 road_speed=0 resolution 22 continue] It routes via the borders of pedestrian areas for pedestrians, so whats the difference with this patch? See http://mijndev.openstreetmap.nl/~ligfietser/openfietsmap/Scripts/Styles/lin… for my style definitions. Cheers, Minko

Address search icon behavior varies in some gps units
by maning sambale 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi, A user roprt below: In Garmin Nuvi 855 when you click the Address icon to search an address, the popup message "No map data found." will immediately appear. In other Garmin units like 205w and 265w you can enter the city, street and house number. Some addresses are already working when you search for it. Provided the point in the map contains keys for address search such addr:<category here> you can search for it. It's working in 205w. In Garmin Nuvi 855 i don't know what's the problem. It won't let me search for an address. The maps were uploaded via Mapsource. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------

[PATCH] Routable pedestrian areas
by Clinton Gladstone 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

The attached patch is an updated version of an earlier patch which I submitted. It adds a cheap but sub-optimal pedestrian routing option: --route-pedestrian-areas When this option is set, mkgmap will add a pedestrian way around the perimeter of pedestrian areas (Squares and Plazas). This will allow GPS devices to calculate routes through (i.e., on the perimeter of) such squares to other connecting ways. This is not the best solution, as you will always be routed along the edge of the area, but it works. I have been unable to think of a better, practical solution. The code is in the style of (read: shamelessly copied from) Mark's cycleway additions. I have been using the patch for some time, and I have found it quite useful for pedestrian routing in cities where such areas frequently occur. Your feedback and comments would be appreciated. Cheers.
