Thanks Minkol, I know those tools but they are off the tool mkgmap chain. Thats why I thought about an option. Joern 2016-07-07 12:15 GMT+02:00 Minko <ligfietser@online.nl>:

With a few external tools you can set this, http://www.gmaptool.eu/en/content/map-visible-basecamp or http://www.javawa.nl/jdm_en.html

Don't know if such option could be implemented in mkgmap?

Hi developers, is there an option to make the gmapsupp visible/invisible in Basecamp? At the moment its always visible, but this is a bit annoying (since one has to wait some minutes until some hundred MBs are copied). Thanks for your ideas, Joern

Hi all, I guess we can change mkgmap to set the corresponding bit, maybe someone can point me to the right place ?

To my topic: I figured out that GMapTool can be used in command line mode. The following line works in my tool chain now. %GMapTool%\gmt\gmt.exe" -w -c %version%,1 %gmapsupp% (the "1" behind the version sets gmapsupp invisible) 2016-07-07 13:44 GMT+02:00 joern de <joern.de@gmail.com<mailto:joern.de@gmail.com>>: Thanks Minkol, I know those tools but they are off the tool mkgmap chain.

It is the bottom bit in the image header at ImgHeader.OFF_SUPP See the change at r2306. _______________________________________________

so we already know the bit to change, I checked the code and I think we can add an option to change it without much code. If I got that right, the bit doesn't exactly mean "hide gmapsupp in Basecamp" but more something like "treat img file as installed on the PC" So I wonder what the option name should be. And should mkgmap only set the bit when the file is a gmapsupp.img ? I think yes, so my suggested option name + description would be --hide-gmapsupp-on-pc Set a bit in the gmapsupp.img that tells PC software that the file is already installed on the PC and therefore there is no need to read it from the device. Any better suggestions? Gerd Gerd -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/make-the-gmapsupp-visible-invisible-in-Baseca...

Hi Joern, joern de wrote

I think your suggestion meets my idea to set the marker bit within mkgmap. Would be nice to have that easy-to-use option.

Attached is a patch that implements the option. A binary based on r3694 is here: http://files.mkgmap.org.uk/download/309/mkgmap.jar @Steve: Please review. I am not sure if this should be done via FileSystemParam and I didn't implement the corresponding code to read the bit flag from an input file. ciao, Gerd -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/make-the-gmapsupp-visible-invisible-in-Baseca...

I didn't see an attached patch. Using FileSystemParam sounds the right way to get the flag into the img creation routines though.

Thanks Gerd, I tested r3695 successfully. Switched hide-gmapsupp-on-pc in template.args on | off | on. Works fine for me. Joern 2016-09-11 14:48 GMT+02:00 Steve Ratcliffe <steve@parabola.me.uk>:

Hi Gerd

Oops, here it is :

hide-gmapsupp-on-pc.patch <http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/file/n5882296/hide-gmapsupp-on-pc.patch>

Yes, indeed looks good.

Cheers, Steve
