Splitter 597 xml format output problem
by Dave 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi, While trying to troubleshoot a map creation problem I had I decided to output the data from Splitter using --output=xml rather than pbf so I could open the resultant file in JOSM version 16812 (I wasn't sure if the unexpected results were caused by Splitter or Mkgmap), JOSM gave the following error message: Could not read file '00002641.osm'. Error is: Unsupported version: 0.5 (at line 2, column 56). 100 bytes have been read As a work around I edited the osm version to 0.6 and added visible="true" version="1" to node and way id lines and was able to open the file. (was a simple file only containing lines/ways no polygons etc.) This is not something I plan to do often but thought you should be aware. Dave

Excluding countries from map build or reduce details for some countries.
by Joao Almeida 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

Hi, I have an how to question. Hope someone can help. I use poly files to extract areas from the pbf files. but obviously unless you very meticulously outline the countries borders one will always have some of the neighboring country in a map. I would like to be able to have a general style for my map build but have a rule in the style that would remove most of the detail from the map. The general idea would be that one would have only the major highways, none or very few polygons and only the major cities for the country added to the map, in essence a bit like the global garmin basecamp which is very small but still gives us an overview of the whole planet. I tried a deleteall tags rule , but it still added the items but just didn't add the tags. something like (rough example) I know the code is not accurate but hopefully gives you an idea: mkgmap:country=PRT {deletealltags} mkgmap:country=ESP amenity=restaurant (0x000 resolution xx) For country portugal no points would be compiled into the map, for country Spain all items in the style would be compiled into the map. Thanks a lot.

DEM file options do not work
by Bernard Mai 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

Dear All, I am trying to generate a Garmin map containing not only the OSM data and contour lines but also some DEM data to display a hill shading in BaseCamp and on the Garmin device. The general map creation works fine (osm data + contour lines) using the process described on my website (www.maiwolf.de/gps) But so far I fail to use the previously described --dem options. I am using the latest mkgmap release and the following command line: java -Xmx2000M -jar D:[path to mkgmap]mkgmap.jar --dem=C:\hgt --dem-interpolation=auto --dem-dists=3312,3312,3312,13248,26512 --overview-dem-dist=88368 Some example .hgt files are found in the "C:\hgt" folder. Yet nothing happens. No error and no output. So I am wondering if my command line is wrong and if the latest mkgmap version is still having the capability to generate dem data files. I would appreaciate if somebody could describe a successful process in more detail. Regards, Bernard

PrecompSeaGenerator: update geotools dependency
by Lambertus IJsselstein 18 Aug '20

18 Aug '20

Hi Gerd, To build Mkgmap with the PrecompSeaGenerator additional dependecies are needed, like geotools. Currently (r4565) Mkgmap won't build because the location of geotools has been changed, see: http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com/2020/04/change-to-maven-repositories.html?… To fix this, update in ivysettings.xml the following line from: <ibiblio name="geotools-resolver" m2compatible="true" root="http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/" /> To: <ibiblio name="geotools-resolver" m2compatible="true" root="https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/release/" /> Thanks! Regards, Lambertus

Device Crash Analysis
by jan meisters 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

I recently experienced a crash of my Oregon when passing this street <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/6765658>s <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/6765658>treet, and reproduced it several times. The device ran in tracking mode, no routing involved. I suspected the bridges on both sides, but found nothing suspicious concerning my style in OSM. Later simulations on device and BC gave no errors. Unfortunately it´s not nearby, so I can´t easily recheck on-site. What other options do I have for further analysis? Thanks Jan

garmin zumo XT
by brad 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

I was successfully building maps for a Montana with my own style. Since the Montana died, I replaced it with a Zumo XT. It isn't working so well now. I can use my map on qmapshack and it looks as expected, but on the Zumo it appears that Garmin does not recognize some (or all) my custom type codes. Any ideas what the limitations are, or how to work with this? They've added something called 'Map Theme', which is a small xml file. I don't see a way to load my typ file, but I didn't need to do that before since I included that with the mkgmap build. Brad

default style lines enhancements
by Ticker Berkin 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hi all style gurus Patch attached of enhancements to default style "lines" which I've been accumulating for a while. Also includes the parallel changes needed to mapnik.txt I'm happy to explain any of these change in more detail and, if anyone considers a particular change incorrect, provide a revised patch. Summary of changes, roughly in order of diffs in the patch. 1/ Sometimes charges for using a pedestrian highway are expressed as a fee rather than a toll, so pick this up in mkgmap:toll. 2/ Show bridges using type 0x10107. With the mapnik addition, these look good for narrow highways, but might not show for wide representations like motorways. 3/ Where it is likely that bits of highway might not be connected to the road/path system, use mkgmap:set_unconnected_type and mkgmap:set_semi_connected_type to stop the NET/NOD rather than relying on NETnoNOD (now disabled) and --check-routing-island-len=+ve, which is being suspected of causing problems on some devices and BaseCamp. 4/ Quote some filter subst strings that contain spaces - no actual effect but clearer and safer. 5/ Have line for leisure=track even if area. 6/ Change the type for tracks/raceways etc from 0x30, which doesn't show on BaseCamp or MapSource, to 0x2a. 7/ For piers, if 'unconnecting', use marine type 0x1040c (Obstruction: Pier or Jetty) instead of footway. 8/ Change type for the various barriers from 0x17, which doesn't show on BaseCamp to 0x2b, see: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2020q1/030348.html 9/ Consider natural=cliff a barrier. 10/ Add motorway[_link] roundabouts (yes, some do exist). 11/ Unquote some numbers - no actual effect. 12/ Tweak some road speeds 13/ Use 0x09 (high-speed ramp) for road class 4 links 14/ Add footway around car parks if 'connecting'. 15/ Disable coastline. For a long time the tag was suppressed by the Sea processing and it adds little to the map. 16/ Improve railway platform names and suppress footway if not 'connecting'. 17/ Show disused:railway in the same way as railway=disused. 18/ Have cable_car, gondola, funicular as routable, by default with a toll and pedestrian only. 19/ Show "Course of old Railway", unless a highway has taken over the way (for you Eric, but I like it as well). 20/ Speed up car ferries. 21/ A few other layout/space fixes.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Sorry, Google is being restrictive. Try 2 with the files.

Hi Randolph One other thing - The resolution that Garmin devices show icons can depend on the device and type/subtype values. For some you need to zoom in quite a lot before they appear. Ticker
