Hi Uli, I don't know if the extrex Vista does something different to generate its hints. What hint do you get when you leave the motorway? What hint do you get when you enter the motorway? Can you post your line style file? Can you post an example motorway exit where it doesn't work? (Permalink of OSM or node id) It's a new option and probably we have to learn how it behaves on different units. Thanks! WanMil

Hello,

i activated the new option and changed the lines file according to the lines file in the default style. The generated gmapsupp.img is slightly bigger than the normal one. Unfortunately i don't see any difference in routing hints? Do i have to activate some switches in my navigator? I use the etrex Vista HCx, if that matters.

Regards, Uli

Hi Uli, your lines file contains the following rule: highway=motorway_link & mkgmap:exit_hint=true { delete mkgmap:display_name; name 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}' } This means that you change the name of the mkgmap:exit_hint part. But this part still uses the Garmin code 0x09 for motorway_link which is assigned later in your lines file. Garmin ignores the names on 0x09 lines but reports the name of the next routeable way which is not a link (0x09 or 0x08(?)). So you have to assign a routable non link Garmin type to the mkgmap:exit_hint=true part. Just add the line before your common motorway_link rule: highway=motorway_link & mkgmap:exit_hint=true [0x01 road_class=4 road_speed=3 level 4] That should work. But you will not get the message "rechts auf A2 Richtung Berlin abbiegen". The --process-exits option adds the name of the exit so something link "leave the highway to exit 2 Kreuz Braunschweig-Nord". When using the --process-destination option you might get the message "keep right to A2 (Berlin)" afterwards. A combination of both in one message is not possible at the moment. I have to think about if I can combine both hints to one. WanMil

Hello WanMil,

i get a simple "A391 nach A2" message and then at the junction i get "rechts auf A2 abbiegen". I expected something like "rechts auf A2 Richtung Berlin abbiegen"?

Here is my lines file: lines <http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/file/n5746640/lines>

Regards, Uli

If i use the --process-destination option, do i have to add another command to the lines file?

Yes. You have to use the destination tag to compile the name/mkgmap:display_name: That's what the default style looks like: (highway=motorway|highway=trunk ) & ref=* & destination=* { add mkgmap:display_name = '${ref|subst: =>}(${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> })' } WanMil

Hello again, yes it worked, at least partly. ;) When going from A391 to A2 it only says: "Nach Osten auf A2" but when going from A2 to A39 it says: "Rechts auf A39 abbiegen (Salzwedel,Wolfsburg)" <- That is new! :) Thanks again and kind regards, Uli -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Commit-r2461-Merge-the-mkgmap-exits-branch-tp...
