Hi, Can you tell me if mkgmap supports speed cameras warnings? if yes, how I tag cameras in osm?

Rodrigo, mkgmap can create maps which show speed cameras, but you will need to create a custom style. You would then edit the points file within this style and add a rule like: highway=speed_camera [0x0052 resolution 23] 0x0052 plots as a camera POI, but you could choose a different code if you wanted to use a different symbol. Finally, you would need to invoke mkgmap with this style, e.g java -jar mkgmap.jar --style-file=path/to/yourNewStyle mydata.osm Have a read of http://www.cferrero.net/maps/guide_to_mkgmap_style_files.html for more info on customising styles to show things that don't appear in the mkgmap default style. -- Charlie

Hi Charlie, If I use the PIO Loader, I can make the GPS gives a visual and audible alert when I get close to these cameras. If I use a style sheet, I will achieve this level of alert, or just show the points on the map using a icon? -- Rodrigo de Avila Analista de Desenvolvimento +55 51 9733.3488 • rodrigo@avila.net.br • www.avila.net.br

Good question. On my GPS I can set it up to sound a proximity alert to waypoints, though I've never tried to see if I can do this against a whole category of POIs, rather than individual waypoints. I suspect it may depend on the GPS unit. -- Charlie
