some reports on the recent svn-nod mkgmap
Hi, I've recently used the the nod branch using the native OSM file as input, and here are some comments on my brief use: tested on my garmin etrex legend cx and mapsource 1. routing is fine for short routes of a 100KM but not so for very long routes about 1200KM (yeah maybe too much). Mapsource reports an error "Error Code:3" and my etrex just hangs to 99% when calculating the route. I also have another map from another source and Mapsource doesn't reports error code:3 2. roads and cities are now searchable! But islands names are not. (My previous using osm2mp can search islands) 3. ferry routes are not routing I also added contours and the looks are excellent! However, when panning and zooming for long periods on my etrex, the whole map just disappear. Is this a a problem with unit and not the data? Hope this helps the dev team. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------

I also have another map from another source and Mapsource doesn't reports error code:3 Is this big map (1200km) made of more than one tiles? Then routing will not work over the tile borders at the moment. This should be possible in future.
Ahh Thanks for the explanation. Is there a way to make the tile size bigger? Like creating bigger tile size for areas with sparse data and smaller tile size for dense data? On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 4:42 PM, Johann Gail <johann.gail@gmx.de> wrote:

If you use the tool Splitter.jar then this sould be done automatically. It splits the given osm data to different sized tiles in which each tile does not exceed a given number of nodes. You can set the number of nodes by a calling parameter. If you make it to big, then might be, you will get an error at generating the img file because there are some internal limits in the file format.
Hello Maning,
I've recently used the the nod branch using the native OSM file as input, and here are some comments on my brief use: tested on my garmin etrex legend cx and mapsource

Sorry, at this time I don't know why you get that.
2. roads and cities are now searchable! But islands names are not. (My previous using osm2mp can search islands)
Thanks, I will look into making island names searchable.
3. ferry routes are not routing
Make sure that the ferry route ends join the roads on the land.
I also added contours and the looks are excellent! However, when panning and zooming for long periods on my etrex, the whole map just disappear. Is this a a problem with unit and not the data?
On my etrex, when I pan a large area it does take a few seconds to redraw - I guess it depends how much detail is there?
Hope this helps the dev team.
Yes, all feedback is welcome. Cheers, Mark
Hi Maning,
2. roads and cities are now searchable! But islands names are not. (My previous using osm2mp can search islands)
Try adding this line into resources/styles/default/points (or your own points file if you are not using the default style). place=island [0x650c resolution 20] This is the same code as used by osm2mp so you should get the same result. Cheers, Mark
Mark, Tried this, but islands still unsearchable. On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 5:49 PM, Mark Burton <markb@ordern.com> wrote:

Mark, Excellent! Now its working! Thanks! On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 7:47 PM, Mark Burton <markb@ordern.com> wrote:

You need to rebuild mkgmap.jar if you're using the default style.
