Hi Gerd, did you already try the "other things" ?

My map contains only cycle routes for Germany and the gmapsupp is much smaller. I tried different draw-priorities, different types in the map, with/without index. > No more time today, I'll try other things tomorrow... > > Gerd

location-autofill=nearest : Does it work at all?
by Gerd Petermann 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hi all, I try to understand the code in Locator that is involved when a POI has no address tags, esp. mkgmap:country and mkgmap:city. The usage of tag is_in is deprecated and thus I wondered if the source which tries to find a usable city name by analysing it is still of any use. To my surprise I found out that also the nearest option probably is of no use since long, probably since r2271 which was created in 2012. Now I wonder if I should try to make it work again or if I should simply remove the code which doesn't work. Gerd

Re: [mkgmap-dev] mkgmap-dev Digest, Vol 143, Issue 10

Hello The issue with options and order (of precedence?) still confuses me after using mkgmap for years. My solution is to not use option files and to hard code all file references. Not good scripting practice but it works. I think this is a case of where examples are worth a thousand words. I understand in theory option and file order but do not know how to implement it in practice. Examples (in a separate file?) and how to work out which files they will effect may reduce confusion. I only have a tablet in quarantine so I apologize for any formatting issues.

Commit r4517: Implement check for options which expect comma separated lists of values like --name-tag-list
by svn commit 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Version mkgmap-r4517 was committed by gerd on Thu, 04 Jun 2020 Implement check for options which expect comma separated lists of values like --name-tag-list Use common code to parse these lists (allow quote or double quote, detect comma at end as error) Intention is to find those cases where a misplaced blank ended the list so that a following string is not recognized as part of the list but as an input file. Should lead to more helpful error messages/warnings. http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=4517

Options file
by Dave Swarthout 04 Jun '20

This is a two-part question. Firstly: I have been trying to change my compilation method to use a config file but am having problems. During my experimentations I managed to insert the style file directive "--style-file=directory|zip-filename|url" _after_ the filespec for the OSM data file. My map compiled without errors but was not using my styles. I was very confused because it had always worked before. It took me 20 or 30 minutes to discover that I had accidentally "misplaced" my style file parameter in the mkgmp parameter list. Once I moved it in front of the filespecs for my OSM data file and custom TYP file, all was well again. I am assuming that the "options" file included with every mkgmap download is the primary help file for running mkgmap. So I guess I'm asking if someone would please add a sentence to the options file where the use _and placement_ of the style file parameter is explained more completely. The way it is now, one cannot know that the placement of that parameter is important. Apparently, the placement of ALL parameters must come before any filespecs in the mkgmap invocation but that important fact isn't obvious (at least to me) from reading the options help file. A line saying "the style file parameter must appear before any references to a file specification for input data or custom TYP file." inserted just after the "=== Style options ===" section divider would be very helpful Or perhaps a line at the very top of the options file saying "Note: all options specified herein must appear on the mkgmap invocation before any reference to an OSM input file or a custom TYP file." ******************************************* Secondly: The problem I'm having with using a configuration file might be related to file specifications, but I'm not sure. My first try used the filespecs in quotes as they appear in my parm specification. That didn't work. When I compile a map using the scenario below, mkgmap produces an error saying "SEVERE (Main): name: file name doesn't exist" but does not supply a filename. Not very helpful. Here is my mkgmap invocation string and the configuration file I'm trying to employ: java -Xmx4000m -jar mkgmap.jar -c DJS.cfg --family-id=18028 --name-tag-list=name:en,loc_name:en,int_name,alt_name:en,short_name:en, name --description="Lanna" --country-name=THAILAND --country-abbr=THA "C:\Users\alask\Downloads\Maps\Lanna.osm" "C:\Users\alask\Dropbox\Mapping\24983djs.TYP" And the config file: DJS.cfg follows: gmapsupp route index bounds=C:\Users\alask\Downloads\Maps\bounds.zip precomp-sea=C:\Users\alask\Downloads\Maps\sea.zip generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background location-autofill=is_in,nearest housenumbers max-jobs drive-on=detect add-pois-to-areas link-pois-to-ways process-destination process-exits code-page=1252 check-routing-island-len=700 remove-ovm-work-files #road-name-config=mkgmap-rel/examples/roadNameConfig.txt split-name-index make-opposite-cycleways order-by-decreasing-area style-file=C:\Users\alask\Dropbox\Mapping\DJS_styles I'm sure you experts will easily see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com
