Recommended version?
Hi! According to the wiki, the last revision of mkgmap recommended as more-or-less stable is 1188. Which is rather ancient, of course. :-) As there have been quite some interesting changes recently, especially around multipolygons, I'd like to raise the question again: In your experience, is there a more current revision that you have used for major amounts of data without problems, so it could be recommended as reasonably stable, especially to new users? thanks Nop -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Recommended-version-tp4584841p4584841.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I upgraded a month or so ago from mkgmap-r590 to mkgmap-r1441 and haven't had problems with it. I'm not doing anything particularly clever with it (no routing or typ file changes; just style file customisations) for example - just creating a Garmin map of the UK. As far as I'm concerned it "just works". Just my 2p - I'm sure that there are later versions that work just as well.

Hi Nop, I think the answer is not so easy. From my point of view: use the latest one (r1575). Question to all: Which issues must be fixed before releasing another stable version? WanMil

Well maybe a better overview map? From seing other compilers it can't be that difficult to implement, but would be a huge speed improvement for mapsource (and be much better for GPS too, as basemap can kick in earlier).

I think we should update the stable version fairly frequently, every month or so, but avoiding just after a major change to let it settle down. But how do we coordinate across all the languages? We now have English, French, German, Dutch and Japanese translations of the main page on the wiki. The version number could probably be made a template so that it can be updated in one place, but if we want to offer a list of changes then this will have to be translated. Currently the revisions are different on the different language pages. The German one is even a broken link! ..Steve

Even the English wiki page does not seem to reflect the mkgmap-usage. (if http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MkgmapAlso, is what we're talking about; but I'm not sure, as http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Mkgmap works for me) Also, for a couple of options, there's no information about the sensible default and/or the problems that one may run into. A couple of examples could be of use here. V.
