Do we write the region and/or country index wrongly? Still not able to search addresses outside of current maptile on etrex vista hcx
by Felix Hartmann 02 Nov '09

With my etrex Vista HCx I'm still unable to search for addresses outside of the tile with (last) GPS fix. Also in the find address box there is no way to select country even though I sent two maps (Switzerland and Austria) to the GPS via Mapsource. With City Navigator there is allways the country selection box visible and has to be selected for correct finding of addresses / choosing street. This leads me to believe that something with the country index is written wrong and therefore only searching in current tile is possible. Also the cities seem to be missing something, as soon as I type in a letter it says none found (only in address search or intersection search tab, in the city search tab cities are found - except those with Umlauts in their name).

region-name and MDR
by Felix Hartmann 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I noticed that for some countries (e.g. Italy) not every tile gets its own region name attributed. (I'm using the patch provided on the list to print out attributed regions). Would it maybe be possible to use something like the geonames-file option used for the splitter? (and have it with levels like 1=only add region from geonames-file for tiles without any region, and 2=add up regions until all possible16 regions are used up). I think the index becomes unusable if there is a tile without any region. In Denmark I need to use max-nodes=400000 and of the resulting 14 tiles only 2 have a region... Using the region-name option does not really seem a good option for large maps covering multiple tiles.

roadtrip no longer happy
by Greg Troxel 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I updated mkgmap to r1337, and found that my overview img/tdb changed names. I adjusted gmapibuilder invocation to reference those, and that succeeded. But on loading into roadtrip I get a "The map you selected contains some errors and cannot be displayed. The default map is being shown instead." popup. The test map fails more spectactularly, crashing roadtrip and then I have to rm it from ~/Library.... before I can start it. (script I used attached; test data was josm-downloaded bits of my town, and then cloudmade massachusetts.osm.bz2) Has anyone had recent success with roadtrip? I probably should try bisecting svn to find when this behavior started.

Commit: r1340: Fix exclusion of synthesised ways from oneway routing problem messages.
by svn commit 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Version 1340 was commited by markb on 2009-11-01 18:57:42 +0000 (Sun, 01 Nov 2009) Fix exclusion of synthesised ways from oneway routing problem messages. We don't need to output messages that refer to ways that have been synthesised as the original ways should also generate messages. However, it wasn't doing the right thing - hopefully, it is now.

Commit: r1338: Reduce MAX_POINTS_IN_WAY to avoid routing problems.
by svn commit 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

Version 1338 was commited by markb on 2009-11-01 18:57:36 +0000 (Sun, 01 Nov 2009) Reduce MAX_POINTS_IN_WAY to avoid routing problems. This has been revised down to 80 (from 200) as it cures a routing issue with long ways. However, it's not been proven that the problem really is the number of points in the way, it could be some other limit that gets breached.

Hi, I'm using mkgmap very often and meanwhile it's working really good, but I found something, that some img files are broken. After integrating it into Mapsource, MS is crashing with an error xxxxxxxxxx.img has an broken record. How can I help you to find the problem? What do you nedd to find this issue? Error message, img file, my mkgmap commandline options. Something else? May I send this to the mailinglist? Regards, Marco

Can you set background colour in a TYP file?
by Mark Burton 01 Nov '09

Hi, Just playing around with TYP files and wondered if it is possible to change the "Garmin yellow" background to anything else using a TYP file? If not, is there any other way of doing that? Cheers, Mark
