Re : Lower case letters

Hello, You can change the style for each type in a map. You have to define it in TYP file. But it does not mean that the device will be able to display it. On my Etrex, it works only for non vector text (if you force a vector text to lower case, you might see a default symbol instead of letters). You can also define the text's color for day and night mode. David

Hi! Here are many shops mapped as areas. http://www.deltadelta.de/nmz/sc_labels.png Now they show up at low resolutions and in a huge font size.Can I make them show up at a later resolution? TIA, Dani

Find category
by Daniela Duerbeck 09 Mar '10

Hi! When I select in my Garmin device: Find -> Shopping -> (Menu) Select Category, I get a list of categories. At the end of the list I have currently 9 times "other". But each "other" category summarizes just one sort of shops (modulo tagging errors). Is there a possibility to change the "other" into something more meaningful? TIA, Dani

Lower case letters

Hi! Although the manual says "Note that this doesn't work on many (most?) Garmin devices.", I tried this option. The funny thing is that most labels work, except the street names. http://www.deltadelta.de/nmz/lower_upper.png Dani P.S: Can I somehow adjust the font sizes?

How to change a style file
by Daniela Duerbeck 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi! Yesterday I went to a "Stammtisch", a point where some friends meet each month. The bar where we meet is tagged as a pub. That seems to be correct, I asked the owner. You can eat there mexican food and drink cocktails. When I was near the location I asked my garmin with my brandnew map to find nearby POIs with food and drink. Our location was not among them. So what have I made wrong? Without changing something it gets the "beer mug" icon from Garmin and it is a bar/nightclub. I think I have to tweak my points file a little bit, but how? Or better: Which POI should I give to a pub that it can be found in food and drink? Dani

splitter OutOfMemoryError
by Carlos Dávila 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

I have run several times splitter on a 15.1 GB file (actually on cache from that file) obtained from Srtm2OSM on machine A (Athlon 64 3000 Ghz, 3GB RAM) using the following command: time java -Xmx2500M -jar splitter.jar --mapid=63240101 --mixed=true --cache=/160GB/cache_srtm/peninsula/ --max-nodes=4500000 --split-file=areas.list --description="SRTM Map" --overlap=1000 Running the same command on the same data on a new machine B (Athlon II 3000 Ghz dual core, 4GB RAM) I get an OutOfMemoryError. Even increasing to -Xmx3500M I get the same error, always at the same point. Running mkgmap on spain.osm from Geofabrik with my usual script I also had to increase memory.

Any ideas about the problem? Carlos P.S. Does it make sense to give --overlap to splitter for contour lines or is it only necessary for routing?

Gap in the street and unusual routing
by Daniela Duerbeck 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi! One street shoes a gap that does not seem to be in the osm data: http://www.deltadelta.de/nmz/sc21.png vs. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.08617&lon=11.50167&zoom=17&layers=B000… I tried to navigate to the "Bad Forstenrieder Park". Since one can not pass this gap, the route went to Drygalski Allee, Herterichstr, then right and then to the grade3 path through the farmland. But I used car/motorcycle. What have I to put i which file so that routing goes not across unpaved tracks? TIA, Dani P.S: mkgmap 1597

Buildings without POIs cannot be found
by Daniela Duerbeck 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi! When a building is mapped completely and is tagged with amenity = supermarket or restaurant, etc. it cannot be found via find all POIs. Perhaps somehow mkgmap should build artificial POIs from these tags. Would that be possible? Dani

Fix my address
by Daniela Duerbeck 07 Mar '10

07 Mar '10

Hi! POIs that have no address tagged get "Fix my address" in the Info screen. That is OK for restaurants, shops, etc. but there are also many POIs that have no address, e.g. bus stops. So there "Fix my address" makes not so much sense. What do you think? Dani
