Hi Karl, most options are used for calculating the content of the tiles. Thus they have no effect when used in one of the combiners. I think the most confusing option is --description. Its value is used for single tiles as well as the gmapsupp.img and it is used by splitter in the generated template.args file A few options have no effect on the content of the tiles, they are only used in combiners. I think it would be good to mark those. Here is my list (in order of appearance in the help) of options that should not change the content of a single tile: - all "Information options" --gmapsupp (a combiner option) --gmapi (a combiner option) --output-dir --index (a combiner option) --split-name-index (influences content of global index) --mdr7-excl (influences content of global index) --mdr7-del (influences content of global index) --poi-excl-index (influences content of global index) - all "Overview map options" , they are all combiner options --list-styles (reporting, ignored by combiners) --check-styles (reporting, ignored by combiners) --area-name (a combiner option) --max-jobs (performance, ignored by combiners) --keep-going (control flow) --check-roundabouts (it should only report) --check-roundabout-flares (it should only report) --max-flare-length-ratio (reporting, ignored by combiners) --report-similar-arcs (reporting, ignored by combiners) --report-dead-ends (reporting, ignored by combiners) --dead-ends (reporting, ignored by combiners) --nsis (a combiner option) --tdbfile (a combiner option) --show-profiles (a combiner option) --hide-gmapsupp-on-pc (a combiner option) --verbose (reporting) Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Andrzej Popowski <popej@poczta.onet.pl> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 4.

But how about creating indices (--net, --index, --split-name-index, --road-name-config=filename)?
--net is about putting address data into *.img tiles, so this is your step 2. Others are about creating index file *_mdr.img, this is done in step 3.
How about using the same tiles, but applying different TYP to each created gmapsupp.img?
TYP is combined with *.img, you do it in step 3. You can add any TYP to any set of *img. Technically TYP is linked to img by FID/ProductCode and family-id/product-id. Probably mkgmap fills FID/PID into TYP file in step 3, but I have no experience with this process.
It would be great if documentation could give some hints to when the various options are applied or when they can be best applied.
You can simply create a config file with all options and use it in all stages. -- Best regards, Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
