Hello! It's able to change color of buildings in default style to more shiny? Because there are buildings on the map but it's hard to recognize it because the color of buildings is about same like the background :-( ...I hope that you will catch that i wannt to say because my english it's not perfect :-) -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Buildings-color-tp4962195p4962195.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You have to use a typ file if you want a different color than the default one.

can you please describe me how to create and use that typ file? Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4963207.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

The easiest way is using the on-line editor [1]. Best if you start from an existing typ file. You can search the list for some hints about typ files and links for sample ones. If you just want to change building appearance, your typ file should have at least a place holder for all other polygons in you style and the definition you want for buildings.

thank you very much.But this TYP files works with mkgmap or mapsource? because i have only not-mapsource edition of map(only gmapsupp.img) -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4963598.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You can give the typ file as an input file when you run mkgmap and mkgmap will put it into the resulting gmapsupp.img

What is a command for that importing of TYP in mkgmap? -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4964391.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

java -ea -jar mkgmap.jar [options] your_typ_file.TYP your_gmapsupp.img You should read http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap for more info.

I think we should expand this info a little bit. Without your help, I never would have been able to create an own map. At least not a map with sea around islands. My first step was to try to rebuild a map, that you already created. After succeeding in this point, I was able to start witch changes. What I would appreciate, was a webpage, where some complete "sets" are posted. I mean, the style files, the command and the typfile. And perhaps some additional information, on which system one is running this set. The "problem" with a nonexisting sea or a reverted map (sea and land exchanged) comes from non fitting typfiles with the other components. These things have to fit together and it needs a bit deeper understanding how these work. Charlie e.g. uses a complete DOS-Environment, when I remember correctly, you Linux, I suppose, I use Cygwin since the last update of my Linux-Computer is overdue, so it does not have a recent Java.

it dont works for me.it is not able to use TYP file immediatly when is converting OSM file to gmapsupp.img? -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4967140.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Make sure you have a recent version of mkgmap. This should also work directly with the OSM file java -ea -jar mkgmap.jar [options] your_typ_file.TYP your_osmfile.osm Garvan

Sorry, I thought you were using a downloaded gmapsupp.img. If you are compiling your own gmapsupp, just add your typ file in the command line you use to generate your map. Make sure typ file has the same family ID you are assigning your map.

thanks for answers.but what if i dont give map id to my map? then i delete map id in TYP? -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4970081.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I do not understand completely your question. If you build a gmapsupp.img to load it e.g. directlty into your Garmin, I think you have not to worry about the ID. It is just necessery when you use Mapsource. Then you need different IDs to distinguish between different maps. If you there have also just one map, the ID is also not important. I hope this was completely correct! :-) Dani

Yes i understand you, but you me not :-) I describe you my situation again: I want to create gmapsupp.img from OSM file but i want to change colors in generated gmapsupp.img.i want to have only one map, so something like ID is not important for me.i try edit TYP file and there is map id 2200. can i leave there this value-2200 or i must change it to some other or i must set map-id(2200) to my generated gmapsupp.img?...because it dont works for me anyway :-( -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4984099.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

thanks for answers but it d ont works for me :-( i make map with this command: "java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar mkgmap.jar --route --remove-short-arcs --check-roundabouts --add-pois-to-areas --keep-going --description="29.04.2010_mkgmap-r1637--Prescott" --family-name=Slovakia-Openstreetmap --family-id=2200 --product-id=1 --gmapsupp FARBY.TYP slovakia.osm" where FARBY.TYP is my edited TYP file where i have changed color of all building types.i dont know, if i must change "Header format" or "Codepage for strings" in TYP.there are options like Old NT, New NT, NT2 and UNKNOWN -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4984588.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Can you describe what exactly does not work? Do you receive a gmapsupp.img? What Garmin do you own? Did you build the typfile completely new or did you change an existing one? The simplest way is IMHO to take a command, a style-file and a typfile from somebody else and first to try to get the same output. Afterwards it makes sense to change, because you then know where the problems may be. If you like, I can put my files (that are based on Carlos' files) together and send it to you, or put in on a webspace for downloading. Then you can try first to reproduce and then to change. (I would also build a slovakia gmapsupp.img for you, since nothing else would make sense) Cheers, Dani P.S: For me, this workflow helped. I formerly used a typfile that didn't fit with the style-files and the command and the result was really disappointing. But after a lot help from Carlos I can now build my own maps and I changed really a lot things in the meantime. But without the initial help from Carlos I would never have achieved this success.

OK, I now tried to build a slovakia map on a computer, where I never used mkgmap before. I first needed to download a new Java: http://java.com/de/download/windows_xpi.jsp?locale=de&host=java.com:80 (There you would need your locale) Please download now these file, unzip it and examine it with a text editor (just to make sure that I did not upload files that could harm your computer): wget http://www.deltadelta.de/garmin/dani.zip run now ./prepare (That fetches splitter and mkgmap) run ./wgetslov (That fetches slovakia from geofabrik) run ./mach_slov (That makes the gmapsupp.img) afterwards there should be a gmapsupp.img inside the slovakia folder. Ok, and now I have also no clue. The file I get is a osm map but without my typfile information So what is wrong? Dani, disappointed P.S: I was so sure that this procedure would lead to success ...

Thanks for compliancy guys but i made it myself :-) i was changing wrong types in TYP editor now i can change polygon colors, POI icons and lines too. but i have one question.i change lot of POI icons byt this site: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:All_in_one_Garmin_Map#Garmin_Types and some POIs are wrong or not displayed how i want. there are type differences by garmin model?i have nuvi 205....or are this types not correct? have somebody list of garmin types for compare? thanks. -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Color-of-Buildings-tp4962195p4989369.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

We try to put all information into this webpage. I edited a part for the Oregon series. You can however try to find out the types using java -Xmx512m -jar mkgmap.jar test-map:all-elements or something like that Dani
