I've noticed that , when creating a gmapsupp, the FIDs of a tdb file as set by --family-id= does not necessarily tally with the FID of a TYP file - in which case the TYP file is ignored by any gps device. Perhaps an error message might be useful warning the user that the typ file won't be rendered? Or adjust the TYP FID at offset 0x2f and PID 0x31? I haven't checked if the same applies to text files. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Clash-of-FIDs-in-tdb-typ-files-tp5728742.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
It seems that the following msg refers to the problem of FIDs not matching up. 'has a different sort order (20007 rather than 0' Perhaps some mention of a different FID might be more helpful? Also 'rather than 0 ' should perhaps be 'rather than the value given to the family id? -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Clash-of-FIDs-in-tdb-typ-files-tp5728742p5728...

I had always intended that mkgmap would be able to fix up the family and product id when using a TYP file. This is already done for a text typ file, the command line options override whatever is in the text file. Here attached is a patch that implements patching in the correct family and product id's before adding to the gmapsupp.img. I don't want to patch the original file directly, so a copy is made beginning with the letter 'x' which is copied into the gmapsupp. This file automatically gets used if you are creating a nsis windows install file too.

Yes, it always worked with a text file, and that is the way I would recommend it be used if possible. Pre-built jar at: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/detail/70 ..Steve
Thanks for that Steve ; will put it to the test -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Clash-of-FIDs-in-tdb-typ-files-tp5728742p5730... Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
