documentation improvement
Hi Gerd, please find attached a small patch that improves the documentation primarily for the following, but with a few other minor tweaks: removal of the statement about putting --description after -c template.args, as this incorrect simplification of the description of --style-file as this was confusing clarification that the number of bytes are the file sizes in the Hill Shading section I note that the '' symbols used to denote arcseconds are being interpreted as italic identifiers <i></i> by whatever process produces the web page. I suggest this process needs to be changed so that this does not happen. I have replaced the first mentions of '' with words. If the process cannot easily be changed, I suggest that the remaining '' symbols are replaced with arc second or arc seconds. I also note that the --dem-dists mentions that values should be a multiple or submultiple of 3314 or 9942 then goes on to suggest values that are multiples of 3312, which I believe is the nearest value to 3314 that is a multiple of 16. I think the explanation needs some improvement by someone who knows exactly how it works. I have been experimenting with various values of --dem-dists - the default value of 9936 works fine for me at higher resolutions in Basecamp, but becomes very blocky at low resolution. I find --dem-dists=9936,9936,9936,9936,9936,9936,39744,317952 gives the best results for my levels of 0:24,1:22,2:21,3:20,4:19,5:18,6:17,7:15. Based on this, I'd be very surprised if the example in the documentation of --dem-dists=3312,13248,26512,53024 for levels 0:24, 1:22, 2:20, 3:18 gives decent results at resolution 18. However, not having any 1 arc second DEM data, I can't try it. Regards, Mike
Hi Mike, will have a closer look tomorrow. Why do you think that "putting --description after -c template.args " is incorrect? When you use splitter with the --geonames-file option or with the --description option the template.args file will set description. If you use both the --description option is ignored. The last given value for description is used for the combiners.

Hi This explains an annoyance I've had with my newer eTrex 30x. On the eTrex HCx, the map selection function uses the --family-name value. The same map on the 30x just gave the name of one of the tiles, which, now I look, was always the last. Putting a final --description after the tile definitions now gives me something that will work sensibly on both. I'd like to request an enhancement that gmapSuppBuilder uses a new option instead of --description. Ticker On Mon, 2020-04-06 at 15:04 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:

Hi Ticker, I think this was discussed before and that discussion lead to the chapter about template.args. My suggestion would be to add a hint that the last given description is used by the combiners. I found usage in OverviewBuilder, TdbBuilder, and GmapsuppBuilder, not sure what the other combiners use. NsisBuilder and GmapiBuilder should be checked. I don't like the idea to introduce just another "description" option with unclear meaning, we already have so many. I also don't like the idea that we might break backward compatibility.

Hi Gerd & Mike @gerd - as you say, it is better to just improve the documentation of what is there. As far as I could see it was only the tiles and gmapsupp that took the --description. I'd suggest changing from: ;--description=text : Set the descriptive text for the map. This may be displayed in QLandkarte, MapSource or on a GPS, where it is normally shown below the family name. Example: --description="Germany, Denmark" Please note: if you use splitter to build a template.args file and pass it to mkgmap, then that file may contain a "description" that will override this option. To prevent splitter from overriding your description, place the --description option after "-c template.args". to: ;--description=text : Set the descriptive text of map components. Map tiles take the most recent --description before the --input-file that defines the tile. gmapsupp.img takes the last --description. Note that the splitter generated template.args includes relevant --description values (see splitter --geonames-file). The usage of the component descriptions is not consistent between GPS devices, MapSource, Basecamp and QLandkarte. Some use the --family-name to enable the complete map, others use the gmapsupp.img description. Some devices can enable individual tiles using the tile description. Suggested usage: ... -c options.cfg -c template.args --family-name=Scandinavia --description=Scandinavia --gmapsupp typFile.txt @mike - if you & Gerd are happy with something like this, do you want to put it into your patch, otherwise I'll do it once your option changes are out of the way.

Hi all, FYI: I've tried this: java -jar mkgmap.jar --gmapi --description=test1 --mapname=12344321 --description=test2 --gmapsupp --description=test3 f:\osm\test.osm.pbf --description=test4 and - as expected - the tile 12344321.img as well as the *.tdb files contain "test3" and only the gmapsupp.img contains test4. So, --description works as any other option: order matters, repeated values overwrite previous value. The only not-so-obvious thing is that the gmapsupp.img always contains the last given value for --description, no matter where the --gmapsupp option appears. I think Tickers sugestion is OK, but I would omit this part: Suggested usage: ... -c options.cfg -c template.args --family-name=Scandinavia --description=Scandinavia --gmapsupp typFile.txt Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Ticker Berkin <rwb-mkgmap@jagit.co.uk> Gesendet: Dienstag, 7.

Hi Gerd & Ticker, Please find an updated patch that includes the essence of your comments on the --description option (I hope). Please let me know if you think further tweaks are needed. Note, I'm not clear on the effect the splitter --geonames-file option has on the description. The splitter documentation only indicates it affects the file names of tiles. Does the splitter documentation need something adding? There is still the question of whether the quote symbols need to be replaced with 'arc seconds' or whether the HTML creation process should be amended. Also, clarification on the 3314/3312 values in --dem-dists.

Hi Mike, I've attached the template.args generated for this command: java -jar d:\splitter\dist\splitter.jar --description=test --max-nodes=100000 --geonames-file=f:\osm\cities15000.zip f:\osm\bremen-latest.osm.pbf and java -jar d:\splitter\dist\splitter.jar --description=test --geonames-file=f:\osm\cities15000.zip f:\osm\niedersachsen-latest.osm.pbf Note that the one for Bremen is special because some tiles get the default description given with the --description option.

Hi Gerd, please find an updated patch and another for the splitter documentation that describe the current operation. It seems wrong to me for splitter to put the default description in a comment if --geonames-file is used without also specifying --description.

Hi
This explains an annoyance I've had with my newer eTrex 30x.
On the eTrex HCx, the map selection function uses the --family-name value. The same map on the 30x just gave the name of one of the tiles, which, now I look, was always the last.
Putting a final --description after the tile definitions now gives me something that will work sensibly on both.
I'd like to request an enhancement that gmapSuppBuilder uses a new option instead of --description.

Hi Mike,
I've attached the template.args generated for this command: java -jar d:\splitter\dist\splitter.jar --description=test --max-nodes=100000 --geonames-file=f:\osm\cities15000.zip f:\osm\bremen-latest.osm.pbf and java -jar d:\splitter\dist\splitter.jar --description=test --geonames-file=f:\osm\cities15000.zip f:\osm\niedersachsen -latest.osm.pbf
Note that the one for Bremen is special because some tiles get the default description given with the --description option.

Hi Gerd & Ticker,
Please find an updated patch that includes the essence of your comments on the --description option (I hope). Please let me know if you think further tweaks are needed.
Note, I'm not clear on the effect the splitter --geonames-file option has on the description. The splitter documentation only indicates it affects the file names of tiles. Does the splitter documentation need something adding?
There is still the question of whether the quote symbols need to be replaced with 'arc seconds' or whether the HTML creation process should be amended.
Also, clarification on the 3314/3312 values in --dem-dists.
Regards, Mike

Hi Gerd & Mike
@gerd - as you say, it is better to just improve the documentation of what is there. As far as I could see it was only the tiles and gmapsupp that took the --description.
I'd suggest changing from:
;--description=text : Set the descriptive text for the map. This may be displayed in QLandkarte, MapSource or on a GPS, where it is normally shown below the family name. Example: --description="Germany, Denmark" Please note: if you use splitter to build a template.args file and pass it to mkgmap, then that file may contain a "description" that will override this option. To prevent splitter from overriding your description, place the --description option after "-c template.args".
to:
;--description=text : Set the descriptive text of map components. Map tiles take the most recent --description before the --input -file that defines the tile. gmapsupp.img takes the last --description. Note that the splitter generated template.args includes relevant --description values (see splitter --geonames-file). The usage of the component descriptions is not consistent between GPS devices, MapSource, Basecamp and QLandkarte. Some use the --family-name to enable the complete map, others use the gmapsupp.img description. Some devices can enable individual tiles using the tile description. Suggested usage: ... -c options.cfg -c template.args --family-name=Scandinavia --description=Scandinavia --gmapsupp typFile.txt
@mike - if you & Gerd are happy with something like this, do you want to put it into your patch, otherwise I'll do it once your option changes are out of the way.

Hi
This explains an annoyance I've had with my newer eTrex 30x.
On the eTrex HCx, the map selection function uses the --family -name value. The same map on the 30x just gave the name of one of the tiles, which, now I look, was always the last.
Putting a final --description after the tile definitions now gives me something that will work sensibly on both.
I'd like to request an enhancement that gmapSuppBuilder uses a new option instead of --description.

Hi Ticker, sorry, I misread your previous email - I thought you were suggesting it should have been left out - I had included "Different GPS devices, MapSource, Basecamp and QLandkarte handle descriptions inconsistently. Some display the description when selecting maps, others use the family name" and thought this covered the point. However, I now realise you were referring to selection of tiles. I've added "or tiles" after "when selecting maps", and also replaced the arc second symbols. Is that better?

Hi Gerd, please find an updated patch and another for the splitter documentation that describe the current operation.
It seems wrong to me for splitter to put the default description in a comment if --geonames-file is used without also specifying - -description. This means that a tile that cannot get a suitable value from the geonames file will end up getting the description of the preceding tile. I think that splitter should always output a description to the template.args file when --geonames-file is specified.

Hi, all! This brings up an old topic of mine. Europe is densely populated with many, small villages. Very few tiles, if any, do not contain a village. In other parts of the world, there are areas with low population and no villages with population over 500 (the largest cities file in bytes). I patched splitter to append the Google Pluscode to the area's description. This provides the service that every tile has its own, separate identity within the mapset. Is there any interest in the patch now? Randolph J. Herber On 4/8/2020 2:40 AM, Mike Baggaley wrote:
