more public testing?
Hi, routing now seems to work well enough on my Vista. What bugs are left have no noticeable or clear effect, so I'm having trouble testing. But I also have no experience how routing should work with a proper map. What do you think of trying to get some more people to try it out in hope of getting more precise information on what doesn't work yet? I.e., post to talk/wiki/forum asking people to try out the nod branch. I'm hoping other Garmin products will use the map differently and fail in helpful ways. Here's what's still missing as far as I see it: * Not writing any links. * Not writing curve data. * Possibly not writing the correct destination class on arcs. * Not writing road length to net (there's uncertainty as to the unit). * Writing arc length to NOD 1, put possibly the same uncertainty as to unit? * Not writing boundary node data (NOD 3). Does anyone know how polish format handles boundary nodes? Is it one .mp-file per IMG and boundary nodes are marked with flags? Or is it one .mp-file and the compiler handles the cutting up? Cheers Robert

Never mind, it's the last field in a Nod-line: Nodi=idx,nodeid,boundary
Hi Robert, First let me say it has been exciting seeing all the work that you've been doing even though I've not had a chance to try it out properly earlier this week. Thanks!

Yes lets do that, I will make a build available on the web site and announce it here and feel free to advertise it on the main wiki page or elsewhere. It still isn't working for me in MapSource though, and this is probably the easiest place to test it. ..Steve

Thanks, it's been fun!

Great!

I don't have MapSource (and no Windows), so I haven't been able to test it there, just on my GPS receiver. I guess it's quite likely that it just makes use of a subset of features, while MapSource would understand the entire format. You said the problem occurs when there's many roads meeting at a node? Cheers Robert

Not quite, it is when there are more than two side roads. I've attached the simplest thing that doesn't work. Any route from "S3" to a different road causes an error. Routing between any other pair of roads (and along S3 itself) is OK. ..Steve
