Hi Mike Yes, that's fine Ticker On Wed, 2020-04-08 at 13:08 +0100, Mike Baggaley wrote:
Hi Ticker, sorry, I misread your previous email - I thought you were suggesting it should have been left out - I had included "Different GPS devices, MapSource, Basecamp and QLandkarte handle descriptions inconsistently. Some display the description when selecting maps, others use the family name" and thought this covered the point. However, I now realise you were referring to selection of tiles. I've added "or tiles" after "when selecting maps", and also replaced the arc second symbols. Is that better?
Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike
I try to put in slight variants of the overall area description into: --family-name gmapsupp --description --series-name and these occur in various places on devices and basecamp (--gmapi) I set: --area-name --x-map-set-name to variants of my name, and these also occur here and there.
My eTrex HCx allows me to disable/enable tiles within the gmapsupp on an individual basis and this is the only use I've ever seen of the tile description, which is why I think a mention of it should be left in

Hi Ticker, selection by description was mentioned to me by Gerd and explains something I'd noticed in BaseCamp. If I have the same map installed on my PC and on a memory card plugged into it, in the Maps menu I see "Great Britain" for the installed map and "Great Britain map" for the one on the card - I have --family-name="Great Britain" and --description="Great Britain map" in my command line.
Regards, Mike

Hi
I'll have a look and try and work out if the web version of options is generated using the same software as the style manual, but, given there are 2 unconnected processors being used to transform options.txt, I'd recommend just replacing the '' with it spelt out.
The patch looks fine to me as well, but I'd have left in the bit about tile selection by --description as this is the only usage of the tile description that I've ever come across.

Hi Mike,
reg. 1 arc second or 1'' : I have no idea how to change the HTML creation process. My understanding is that we have to use some escape characters in options.txt and maybe some additional code in OptionsBuilder.java to remove those escape characters. @Ticker: Can you look at that?
Besides that the patch options3.txt.patch looks good to me.
