I am curious to know how mkgmap handles the display of and text to speech aspects of motorway junctions. It's hard to test for this without actually creating a route and then driving it to see and hear what the Garmin is doing with the data or to discover where it gets the information from. I'm assuming that whatever one puts in the exit_to=* tag gets displayed and spoken by the Garmin "assistant". Does mkgmap ever use the destination=* tag, and if so under what circumstances? I found this rule in the lines style sheet, but I do not understand it well enough to help me answer my question (highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) & mkgmap:exit_hint=true & mkgmap:dest_hint=true { name '${destination:ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' | '${ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' | '${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' | highway=road 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' | 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}' } As always, thanks in advance to any help you can provide.

Hi Dave, I'm curious about this too and hope the specialist could explain this to us. Alexandre 2015-05-15 14:45 GMT-03:00 Dave Swarthout <daveswarthout@gmail.com>:

Hi Dave, please check the documentation for --process-destination and --process-exits: http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/options If I got this right, these option mark exits so that Garmin knows where they are where they lead. Gerd Dave Swarthout wrote

Yes, as you can see above, I understand the intent of those two options. But if someone could further explain what's happening in the rule, I would be most appreciative. I'm guessing the first part assigns a name or ref if one appears in the tagging but understanding the logic of the series of "subst" filters following that is, for a newbie, quite challenging.
