For destinations or names with more than one line, it's common to have each line separated by a forward slash. I've tried to customize my map to replace semicolon with slash, but the slash does not appear. Is the slash an allowed character in a name or destination? I'm using the Latin1 character set.
It should be allowed at least in names. A long time ago, I added a rule to the default style that applies the names from type=boundary relations to the lines, and I used the slash as a separator. It worked on my Garmin Edge 705. I think that the rule was effectively removed later, by the special processing of boundaries. The rule is still there (or was as of r3643), in the file resources/styles/default/relations, but probably unreachable. I no longer have any Garmin device, so I cannot reliably test this. BTW, note that ${attribute} and $(member_attribute) refer to different objects in the apply rules. I implemented the logic for $(member_attribute), so that you could write such rules in the first place. The $() syntax refers to the attributes of relation members, while ${} refers to the attributes of the relation on which the apply is being executed. Best regards, Marko
