Hi Gerd Sorry about overview-dem-dists. I'd prefer the Map variable to be called IsOverviewComponent to make clear the distinction between the 2 types of overview and to be consistent with the names used in MapBuilder. I can do a patch to this effect. --order-by is expected to increase the map size a bit; extra polygon splitting (in the ovm_ and carried into the composite) is performed so that all polygons at any given point are in the same subdivision and some merges (in both the ovm_ and the composite) are inhibited. An overview map is unlikely to have multiple overlayed polygons so probably there won't be any cases where a fixed _drawOrder couldn't be defined correctly, but it exists with the detail tiles that need a TYP where all _drawOrders are equal.

Hi Ticker,
there is a typo in the patch, overview-dem-dists instead of overview -dem-dist. My rather small overview map got 20MB instead of 181K ;) I also didn't like the idea that the overview map is recognized by the name. That can lead to strange effects with test maps, so I added a parameter.
With the corrections the size increases by only by 5K, but I have no idea how these 5K improve the map. I see one small difference where a label of a lake (1) is placed a bit of the center. The "patched" map contains two polygons for this lake, I assume the Garmin software avoids to render its name twice but uses a different algo to calculate the position. These are the results for my own style, a variant of Minkos OpenFietsMap Light style. Will try again with default style and type file sameOrder.txt.

Hi Gerd
shapeMergeFilter.merge() sorts the shapes according to typ, skipSize, fullArea and name. For --order-by to work for the overview, this must not happen; the order in the ovm_ files must be used. This is the same idea as when the more than 1 detail tiles are displayed on a device.
The size of osmmap.img for my test area, with the patch, is: 9216 --no-order-by-decreasing-area throughout 10752 --order-by-decreasing-area throughout 9219 --order-by-decreasing-area at start, --no-order-by-decreasing-area for the combiners So, there is a slight increase, as expected, it really isn't of any significance.
--order-by-decreasing-area needs to be applied to both phases for it to work correctly.
If applied to the tile phase only, the overview map will render polygons in order of the results of the the shapeMergeFilter.
If applied to the overview phase only, probably similar; the order of the shapeMergeFilter governed ordering in the ovm_ .img

Hi Ticker,
thanks for the patch. I'll have a closer look during the next days. I don't yet understand why shapes aren't always merged. What is the impact on the size of the overview map? What happens for those users who create the overview map in an extra step that doesn't have the --order-by-decreasing-area option? What happens when it's the other way around, no --order-by-decreasing-area option for the tiles but --order-by-decreasing-area for the overview map?
