Thanks for all the tips everyone. I've been thinking the choises for a while and it seems probably the best way is to include all the symbols I need in a common TYP file and convert it all to overlays. The reason I would have liked to combine different files was it was very convinient to make something like one-way arrows separately in all roads (no need to include continue in every road statement). Separate files have worked fine with newer devices but I still use some older one that does not allow many img-files. Perhaps I just need to retire it finally. Thanks for the help everyone! A combination of different suggestions (and tinkering with the styles a bit) should do what I need. (at least with accepting it will hurt some older device). On 3.11.2022 11.47, Felix Herwegh wrote:
Harri,
to keep your workflow you could possibly generate the .imgs with overlay info --transparent and give them increasingly higher --draw-priority to control, which is painted on top of which. Modern devices allow to enable and use multiple map layers this way, although heritage devices may not.
Combine attempts with like "java -jar mkgmap/mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp basemap.img fixme.img oneway.img" Wouldn't the mkgmap syntax treat at least the last file named on the command line as typfile? <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/TYP_files>(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/TYP_files <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/TYP_files>)
But: In an old shellscript I do successfully merge multiple .imgs into one final .img using mkgmap with an args-file for the final map (including --gmapsupp) and several --input-file=....img lines for the individual .imgs. The individual .img's typfiles all are given individual names during the individual maps creation, although they typically (but not enforced) where just copies of the same source typfile in my usecase. No typfile named for the final map. The outcome works on Garmin Edge devices as well as QMapShack on Linux.
