Re: [mkgmap-dev] Problem with newer garmin device text labels not appearing

Hi Felix, Thanks for the response. I am just getting started on my debugging and, in fact, one of the things I was going to try was changing the POI "types". I will let you know how it goes. Regarding line "types", I generate custom line types and supply the line pattern as opposed to using any of the well-known types. Maybe this could be a work-around for you? I could supply examples for you, if needed. The whole visibility of objects at different zoom levels has always been a challenge and is very device dependent, unfortunately. For what I do, I generally don't run into it too much (because I don't generate references to device-internal icons, etc.). As a whole, Garmin's UI and compatibility between devices is terrible and unfortunate. I think it stems for poor design decisions, limited memory, etc. I've worked at software companies for 4 decades (as a developer) and I've seen this kind of sloppy design and poor management. It is what it is and someday the phones will eclipse all this poor hardware and software. I saw you registered at my website. Please watch the (poor and outdated) videos and try it out. Let me know if you need any help and I am always willing to share all that I have. Oh, I just received a Tread and it also does not display the text for a "POI" type. I will start debugging now... Best of luck on your project. Scott
