Commit: r1157: Added support for extended type attributes in mp files.
Version 1157 was commited by markb on 2009-08-29 12:05:23 +0100 (Sat, 29 Aug 2009) Added support for extended type attributes in mp files.
Hi, Mark, i just build mkgmap out of svn trunk and test it with a single marine/ext poi in an mp-file. It works. But i discovered that neither the flashing nor the morsing works in Mapsource or in my 60csx . I guess these functions are only avaiable with special marine gps of Garmin. A nice enhancement is the "note=" or "mkgmap:xt-note". I got up to 200 signs in this container displayed on my 60csx. This is more as double of what you can normally put in "StreetDesc=" of a POI.(sorry i don't know the tag in osm. In Mapedit you can write it in the objekt properties=>Address=>Street and in the mp-file it is the "StreetDesc=" entry). cheers Gert

Good.

No, they should certainly be visible in mapsource (I am using 6.15.6). My etrex also does show marine stuff. So if you are using a recent mapsource and stuff isn't showing up, perhaps I have made a mistake and something needs fixing? The morse and flash info only shows up in mapsource if you look at the POI properties dialog.

OK.

Hi, Mark
/ But i discovered that neither the flashing nor the morsing works in />>/ Mapsource or in my 60csx . I guess these functions are only avaiable />>/ with special marine gps of Garmin. /Sorry, my statement was not clear. I meant that i don't see any flashing or morsing (flashing or beeping) in GPS or MS.

They are visible in MS and in my 60csx too, so mkgmap works fine.

Yeah i've already seen this like the note. But as i mentioned above, i thought, that may be their would be really a flashing light visible. But may be this works only with special Garmin marine Gps or it is a missunderstanding by myself of cgpsmapper manual. My interpretation of e.g. page 40 cgpsmapper manual Ver 2.4.5 "If the value is a letter, then the light type is set to 0x0b(Morse code) and letter is used as a Morse code letter." was, that then the light is flashing in GPS and/or MS with this code and not "only" an information written in the poi properties section. cheers Gert

My understanding is that the flash info and the morse letter will be displayed by mapsource/gps when you query the POIs properties. It just tells you the info, it doesn't actually flash (or beep). Shame really, that would be very entertaining! Cheers, Mark
