Is there a way within a typ file to add a carriage return. at present, shop names etc overrun into the next shop. example, Rossendale Aqaurium Centre. is it possible to display this as Rossendale Aqaurium Centre
Hi A very good question and had to check it myself. The answer is yes ... but Basecamp & Mapsource respond differently. You can , it seems, insert a carriage return but the tooltiptext (bubble) in Basecamp will only be one line which means the rest of the text will appear below . Interestingly, it automatically places the first letter in Ucase and the rest in lower case. Mapsource no problem. This begs the question : will it work on your Garmin device?

The TYP carriage return only works for elements which haven't been named in a style sheet. This is because a TYP file's text gets ignored if an element points to a label in the LBL. I also suspect that carriage return characters cannot be inserted when naming elements,due to the way mkgmaps' labels are parsed - although Steve should know. So, unless you create your own 'maps' (not based on osm) ,assign a unique type number to your polygon & add your label with carriage returns to the TYP file, I don't think it will work. -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Typ-Files-tp5871142p5871365.html Sent from the Mkgmap Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
