Hi Gerd
great. I got lost looking at the different tools (NetDisplay, NodDisplay, NodConvert, NetCheck),
Ha! I didn't realise or remember that Robert had written NodConvert. That could be useful. There is also imgdecode, which is at the top of the display project. There are a few updates to John Mechalas's implementation so that it doesn't crash on modern files. It is best for TRE LBL and for RGN if you don't need the complete set of points.
and mkgmap itself also reads the data for the combiners, There is only minimal read code in mkgmap and I try to do things in display first.
If I got this right, we are pretty good (=sure what we do) at reading RGN, LBL and NET, while NOD1 data is difficult to read, and looking at the output of NodDisplay
Well there are still a few problems reading NET as well. So NOD1 has the most complex structure, but at least there are section that have a length so we can always re-sync.
Or more generally: Start reading what is known best, extract and store pointers,
Yes, we have had code like that before, sometimes I take it out once it is not needed any more. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
