search for cities on GPSMAP 66s/st and etrex 32x

Hi. I am creating a map over parts of Europe, including Poland. The very same map img-file is loaded onto one GPSMAP 66st and one etrex 32x. When searching for cities (FIND -> cities) and searching for any city, town or villiage in the county of Małopolska (Lesser poland i think it is in English), such as Kraków, Tarnów, Wieliczka, etc. it does show up on the etrex 32x but not on GPSMAP 66st. It's not an error with the entire map, because if i search for "Krakow" (with ó or o does not matter) on the GPSMAP 66st, other Krakows (in other counties) are found, only the places in Małopolska are not found and only on the GPSMAP 66st unit. On the etrex 32x locations within the county are found. I get the feeling that thre is an issue with parts of the map and i wonder how i can find out more? Could it be that something is incorrect with the original map data for the county of Małoplska? Regards Karl

Hi Karl, maybe you have different basemaps (or other maps) on the two devices and your map doesn't contain the searched cities? Did you check with MapSource or another tool on PC?

Hi. Thanks for answers Gerd and Ticker. Here are some more details. Maps were split using splitter-463 and compiled with mkgmap-4818. --code-page=1252 (latin1). After vaious tests enabling and disabling maps i realize that if combine my own maps, each a part of europe then the issue occurs, and most likely it is related to map overlap. The process i use is the following. Get countrywise data from geofabrik.de Combine 3 sections of europe (osmconvert). Run splitter individually on each of these sections. Run mkgmap individually on each of the split sections. Run mkgmap individually on each of the made tiles to create each section of europe as one gmapsupp.img. Each map has its own --mapname and its own --family I don't use any further polygons to cut exactly where the countires borders are, hence if i enable more than one of these maps on the unit they will overlap and possibly blank out each other, therefor i only use one at the time but have them added to the unit simultaneusly. is ther a good way to avoid these issues and make sure that seach can work even if some maps overlap?

Hi Karl, --mapname is ignored if you use -c template.args as this overwrites the option for each tile (you left this part out). The option --mapid is for splitter. Anyway, if your tiles all have different ids this should work fine, at least that's what I know. One of the javawa tools can tell you more, but I don't remember which one.

Hi. I don't use -c, all options are given in one go in the script i have, so these were really all options expect starting java. Yes, splitter uses equivalent --mapid=77700001, 77800001, 77900001 for each of the sections. I will cross check all for mistakes but thanks so far.

Hi Karl
What code-page are you using for this. "ł" from Małopolska is unicode U+0142 LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE and isn't representable in cp1252, but is in cp1250 and unicode/cp65001

Hi. I am creating a map over parts of Europe, including Poland. The very same map img-file is loaded onto one GPSMAP 66st and one etrex 32x.
When searching for cities (FIND -> cities) and searching for any city, town or villiage in the county of Małopolska (Lesser poland i think it is in English), such as Kraków, Tarnów, Wieliczka, etc. it does show up on the etrex 32x but not on GPSMAP 66st.
It's not an error with the entire map, because if i search for "Krakow" (with ó or o does not matter) on the GPSMAP 66st, other Krakows (in other counties) are found, only the places in Małopolska are not found and only on the GPSMAP 66st unit. On the etrex 32x locations within the county are found.
I get the feeling that thre is an issue with parts of the map and i wonder how i can find out more? Could it be that something is incorrect with the original map data for the county of Małoplska?
Regards Karl

Hi. It seems there was some device issue after all and not a map issue. After removing all maps (including topo active) and then adding back maps a few at the time, search works again. Strange indeed, but thank you anyway for answering, i hope this concludes this issue. Regards Karl On tisdag 23 november 2021 19:49:07 CET 7770 wrote:
Hi. I don't use -c, all options are given in one go in the script i have, so these were really all options expect starting java.
Yes, splitter uses equivalent --mapid=77700001, 77800001, 77900001 for each of the sections.
I will cross check all for mistakes but thanks so far.
Regards Karl

Hi Karl,
--mapname is ignored if you use -c template.args as this overwrites the option for each tile (you left this part out). The option --mapid is for splitter. Anyway, if your tiles all have different ids this should work fine, at least that's what I know. One of the javawa tools can tell you more, but I don't remember which one.

Hi. --family-id is set to individually 7770, 7780, 7790.
mapid, is that the same as --mapname? They are also set individually. --mapname = 77700001, 77800001, 77900001.
The complete list of options is: --max-jobs \ --family-name="NE EUR" \ --family-id=7770 \ --mapname=77700001 \ --draw-priority=21 \ --latin1 \ --net --route --index --split-name-index \ --make-poi-index \ --housenumbers \ --add-boundary-nodes-at-admin-boundaries=2 \ --output-dir=tiles_7770/ \ --bounds=bounds/ \ --precomp-sea=sea/ \ --style-file=styles_7770/ \ --description="NE EUR routable normal." \ --make-poi-index \ --add-pois-to-areas \ --lower-case \
I could try removing --make-poi-index which i dont know exactly what it does, but seems to be outdated for "moden" devices.
I am also preparing a TYP-file, do i need to give the family-id to the TYP file or can i use one genereic for all maps? I currently use one generic, but perhaps i should compile it with each specific family-id before using with each map?

Hi Karl,
I think it should work if you use different mapids and different --family-id for each set.

Hi. Thanks for answers Gerd and Ticker.
Here are some more details. Maps were split using splitter-463 and compiled with mkgmap-4818. --code-page=1252 (latin1).
After vaious tests enabling and disabling maps i realize that if combine my own maps, each a part of europe then the issue occurs, and most likely it is related to map overlap.
The process i use is the following. Get countrywise data from geofabrik.de Combine 3 sections of europe (osmconvert). Run splitter individually on each of these sections. Run mkgmap individually on each of the split sections. Run mkgmap individually on each of the made tiles to create each section of europe as one gmapsupp.img. Each map has its own --mapname and its own --family
I don't use any further polygons to cut exactly where the countires borders are, hence if i enable more than one of these maps on the unit they will overlap and possibly blank out each other, therefor i only use one at the time but have them added to the unit simultaneusly.
is ther a good way to avoid these issues and make sure that seach can work even if some maps overlap?
Regards Karl
