Splitter: Possible bug: not escaping '>' with '>'
by Ivan Kostoski 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hi, Possible bug in the splitter, the '>' character is not escaped in output, i.e.: <way id='30408924'> Original tag: <tag k="name" v="Zakynthos <> Kyllini"/> Splitter output: <tag k='name' v='Zakynthos <> Kyllini'/> This does not break mkgmap, but breaks my poorly written parser... And is not according to XML specs, i.e. should be escaped with '>' Thanks, Ivan

Commit: r1301: Added --report-dead-ends option to warn about roads that go nowhere.
by svn commit 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Version 1301 was commited by markb on 2009-10-22 01:00:34 +0100 (Thu, 22 Oct 2009) Added --report-dead-ends option to warn about roads that go nowhere. Can generate two different warning messages: "Oneway street goes nowhere" and "Confluence of oneway streets". The first is output for oneway roads that don't join another routable way this occurs quite a lot (i.e. roads into car parks, etc.) so a lot of those warnings can be ignored. The second is output when multiple oneway streets meet with nowhere else to go. This is very likely to be an error in the map data (i.e. motorway segment in the wrong direction) and worthy of investigation.

Warning when generating the index
by Nakor 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Hello, I just though I would post this if it is useful for improving the index. Generating the index for maps of several US states I got the following warning message: WARNING: string pointer size is not 3, index will probably not work try with fewer maps until this is resolved. Despite this, the map and index work fine in MapSource, I was able to transfer them to my eTrex Vista and did not find any issue using them in the GPS so far. Thanks, N.

Turn restriction warnings too verbose and terse at the same time
by Marko Mäkelä 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

In the warning output of finland.osm, I see 219 warnings about turn restriction relations. Apparently, there not that many errors in the map data, because I see duplicates, like this: 2009/10/20 15:39:32 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 has multiple 'to' members - first 'to' member is 18628061 2009/10/20 15:39:32 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 has multiple 'to' members - first 'to' member is 18628061 ... 2009/10/20 15:39:32 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 'to' way (18628061) doesn't start or end at 'via' node (62,59660/23,66127) ... 2009/10/20 15:40:11 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 has multiple 'to' members - first 'to' member is 18628061 2009/10/20 15:40:11 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 has multiple 'to' members - first 'to' member is 18628061 ... 2009/10/20 15:40:11 WARNING (RestrictionRelation): Turn restriction 167929 'to' way (18628061) doesn't start or end at 'via' node (62,59660/23,66127) Could I get the two sets of warnings because I am running with --max-jobs=2? Would it be possible to suppress the duplicate warnings, or at least display a download URL for each violation, e.g., for the 'via' node? All in all, there do not seem to be too many errors in roundabouts and turn restrictions in Finland. I should be able to fix them myself, eventually. I did not enable the checks on flare roads yet. In many roundabouts, the flare roads are bidirectional "radial spokes" instead of triangle-shaped oneway streets. Are these converted by mkgmap automatically? If not, could they be? Best regards, Marko
