Thanks a lot for all the help, it manage to do it. I think the problem came from the map names and the code-name. If you are interested, you can find the map here : http://fredericbonifas.free.fr/osm/garmin.html Frédéric

Problems trying to generate contour lines for France

Thanks, I forgot the transparent and draw-priority options. But even with them, the size is not changed for the combined file and I think there is a problem when I combine the contour and the osm maps. I will do other tests this weekend.

FYI - Routing Oddities
by Paul 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

I know that others including me are seeing this so I thought I'd share what I noticed today. I don't know if anyone else has noticed or reported this already so details are as follows:- Near where I work I get the symptoms described at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Mkgmap/routing#Wrong_route_calculat… when I try to route to just about anywhere. However my Edge 605 also gives text directions in the form of Turn left at Bloggs Street Keep left to roundabout Take 3rd exit at roundabout Turn right at Fred Street Even though the graphical map shows a pink line shooting off into the distance and then reappearing 50m down the road the text directions DO NOT mirror this and are correct from start to finish. Hope this helps Paul

Commit: r861: Add a --road-name-pois option.
by svn commit 05 Feb '09

Version 861 was commited by steve on 2009-02-05 00:25:13 +0000 (Thu, 05 Feb 2009) Add a --road-name-pois option. This option creates a POI for every road, with the name of the road and thus allows you to search for roads without having the global index files. - Mark Burton.

[PATCH] Reworked road name pois now supports both OSM and PM files
by Mark Burton 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, I have moved the POI faking code out of the OSM loader into the level above so it should work with both OSM and PM source files. You no longer require the extra line in the points file. enable with the --road-name-pois option. By default, it uses Garmin type 0x640a for the pois. If you want to use a different type, specify it as the option value: --road-name-pois=0x1234 The patch is for SVN 859. All feedback appreciated. Cheers, Mark

Ok thanks for the answers. Is there anyway to add the lon=0 missing or any option in mkgmap to ignore this ? Frédéric

> I added code to mkgmap to ignore those bad points. Does it not work? Thanks a lot it works well now to generate the contour map file. I now have one .img file with the srtm data (343.1 mo) and one .img file wih the map of france (42.2 mo). But when I try to combine them with the --gmapsupp option, the size of the resulting file is only 358.9 mo and it doesn't display anything on my vista cx screnn while the 2 original maps (srtm and osm for france) display fine. Any idea ? I can share the files if needed. Thanks Frédéric

Checkout with TortoiseSVN not working
by Felix Hartmann 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi, Checkout with Tortoise SVN doesn't work for me anymore since last Thursdy or Friday. I tried many things including deleting the checked folder, recreating it, updating TortoiseSVN to newest version.... See error log Screenshot attached. Do others have the same problem? Is it a problem with mkgmap SVN trunk or with Tortoise? Also updating the revisions doesn't work for me anymore because of this error. Felix
