when i use the --precomp-sea= option with a file download from http://osm2.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de/sea/latest/sea.zip I get the sea flooding the land, I don't use any options, it seems to be fine when viewed on Basecamp, but not when i put the map on to a hcx legend.
Hi Gary, it seems that nobody has an idea, so maybe it is related to the device? Did it work with older versions of the precompiled sea ? Is all the country land flooded ?

Hi Gerd. Thanks for the reply, I have a solution for it, I said I don't use any options within the sea coomand, so it was just --precomp-sea="zip file name" I had no generate-sea command. once I added --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background The sea behaved itself. I didn't realise the two had to be used together.

Hi Gary, hmm, not sure if I understand that. The default value for the option tells mkgmap to generate land polygons with natural=land If I got that right, the default style doesn't create any map objects for them, only for the sea polygons. I guess the question is what your style+typ file use as default for areas that are "empty".

Hi Gary, with empty I mean an area in the img file that is not covered by any polygon. By default this will not happen because mkgmap adds so-called background polygons (0x4b) for the whole area unless you don't use option --transparent. The --transparent option is useful when you create multiple layers (e.g. one for routing, another for buildings) so that you can switch on/off what you want to see. Hope that helps?

Hi Gerd. Thanks for the information. The problem gets a little stranger, I use a software package called TYPViewer ( v4.5.35 ) to edit the type files, it has two outputs, one produces a typ file the other produces a txt file. If I use the typ file output I get the map I expect ( without having to specify --transparent or --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background ) the sea is where it should be, if I use the text file output from TYPViewer then I have problems. Lessen to learn, use the typ file output. Regards Gary
Hi Gary, not sure what you mean with "when I use the text file output" here. The device needs the *.typ format, it doesn't understand the text file format. Or do you mean that you feed mkgmap with the text file format and the resulting *.typ file doesn't work ?

Hi Gary, just to make sure: mkgmap can compile a gmapsupp with both formats, when you use the *.typ file as input it will copy it into to gmapsupp.img, maybe after adjusting values like product id, I am not sure about that. When you specify the text file format it will use its typ file compiler to create the *.typ file and use that for the gmapsupp.img.

HI, That is what I have done, I produced a gmapsupp.img file using a .txt file ( the typ info ) and it produces a different map than the same command but using the same style info but specified as a .typ file.
Most likely: your *.txt file is not in sync with your *typ file or contains errors. After creating the *.txt file from my *.typ file, I had to fix a lot of mistakes in it. Thorsten

HI Gerd.
Okay, that leaves just one question, does the conversion from the txt file to the typ file have to happen as a separate command, or can i specify the txt file as part of a command to make the gmapsupp.img file.
Instead of specifying the TYP file (file.TYP) you specify the txt file on the commandline (file.TXT).

Hi Gary,
just to make sure:
mkgmap can compile a gmapsupp with both formats, when you use the *.typ file as input it will copy it into to gmapsupp.img,
maybe after adjusting values like product id, I am not sure about that.
When you specify the text file format it will use its typ file compiler to create the *.typ file and use that for the gmapsupp.img.
So, when you see differences using these two different ways you may have found a problem in the mkgmap typ file compiler.
@Steve: I hope that I got this right?
Gerd

Hi Gerd
That's where I was going wrong then, I was speciying the typefile as a txt file, and not a typ file.
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/02/17/typ-file-compiler
I assumed that also meant that the map complier would also allow for a txt file input of styles
TYP file compiler - mkgmap<http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/news/2012/02/17/typ-file-compiler> www.mkgmap.org.uk Another recent feature added is the ability to compile TYP file from the .txt format. There is no special option needed, just place the .txt file on the command line ...

Hi Gary,
not sure what you mean with "when I use the text file output" here. The device needs the *.typ format, it
doesn't understand the text file format. Or do you mean that you feed mkgmap with the text file format
and the resulting *.typ file doesn't work ?

Hi Gerd.
Thanks for the information. The problem gets a little stranger, I use a software package called TYPViewer ( v4.5.35 ) to edit the type files, it has two outputs, one produces a typ file the other produces a txt file. If I use the typ file output I get the map I expect ( without having to specify --transparent or --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background ) the sea is where it should be, if I use the text file output from TYPViewer then I have problems.
Lessen to learn, use the typ file output.
Regards
Gary

I use TYPViewer to do the conversion. v4.5.35 if I convert the .typ file to a .txt file, it produces a different map, if I then convert that .txt file to a .typ file, the map produced is correct. How can I spot any errors the conversion produces ? I have written software in C# that validates the .txt file it it finds no errors. But I can't find any documentation on the format of the .typ file so I can check the contents of match. ________________________________________ From: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> on behalf of Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de> Sent: 11 May 2016 09:01 To: mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Land flooded On Wed, May 11, Gary Bamford wrote:

Yes, that is correct. It should also fix up the family-id and product-id as it copies it into the gmapsupp, as long as any --family-id and --product-id options occur before both the txt/typ file and the map tiles. ..Steve
