Hi, I just noticed some malformed shapes and other issues on my map of Finland (mkgmap 2960) 1) Here you can see marina in Tampere FIN: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-imfiglzjDoY/UtPvvtgjozI/AAAAAAAAASs/0UYno... As you see some piers are missing: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/61.50956/23.77275 2) Also some shapes are malformed: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mgouh6oXCmg/UtPvwTjnfUI/AAAAAAAAATI/Rvx5H... https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-FzxBR8RKwuo/UtPvwbqWHHI/AAAAAAAAASM/GQNXj...

Same place on OSM looks nicer: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/61.50778/23.77253 4) Same road are interupted in certain zoom level: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Rf2ob4Q_fQ0/UtPvvtrrJLI/AAAAAAAAAR0/Vasf4... regards mira

Hi Mira, please let us know the parameters for mkgmap. Gerd

Hi Mira, okay, that means you use the default style. Correct? Reg. the shapes: I am working on an improvement in the high-prec-coord branch, but this is work in progress and up to now it only improves a few buildings and the img size if parm --x-merge-shapes is given. Anyhow, we have the low precision in the Garmin format, so don't expect to see the small features in the piers. Reg. the roads: Please check the results in the high-prec-coords branch. The roundabout looks much better. The interupted roads might also look better in the branch.

Hi Mira, okay, regarding the interupted roads: make sure that your style really adds the missing parts for the resolution you are looking at.

Hi Mira, The optimization of roads is the most complex part, that's why I've started with that. Now I am working on shapes. I hope in the end I'll have a few algos which are fast enough to reduce all errors which are caused by rounding to map units, no matter whether lines are routable ways or not. As long as you use resolution 23 for level 0 you have to live with big rounding errors.

Hi Mira, and the other problem is that you use resolution 23 for level 0, so you can't expect any details.

Hi Mira,
As you see some piers are missing: ... Also some shapes are malformed
These piers are like 3m wide, it is at the limits of resolution for Garmin maps. There is no easy solution for this problems. You can for example add piers as a polyline, this could show the missing ones. Preserving shape could be improved a bit by preprocessing data, like for example simplification before rounding to Garmin resolution. Mkgmap probably doesn't make this kind of simplification.
Here is one place with a lot of disconected roads These are proposed ways? They aren't routable. I think mkgmap doesn't preserve connection for non-routable polylines, which IMHO is a flow.
Same road are interupted in certain zoom level This could be a problem with very short legs of a road or with non-continous type of the road. Difficult to guess.
-- Best regards, Andrzej
