improve appeareance of footways leading to missing buildings
hello all, my etrex legend has only 8 mb available for custom maps so sacrificing buildings is an obvious choice. just removing the buildings from the style however results in something like this: see that comb-shaped ways? those are usually bits leading to building entrances (here's the source: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/48.75978/17.82890). frankly, i don't really need them as they don't really carry any important information. douglas-pecker does not help here so i wonder if anyone has an idea how this can be optimized. i still want to retain the footways, just don't want them to be too "hairy". if this is not an easy task and involves too much coding then i will probably give up but before that i just wanted to ask if anyone has any idea. thank you, jose
Hi Jose Removing any reference to highway=service in your style will do the trick. BUT this may be too drastic an option. If you use a TYP file , then make the service highway transparent. Nick On 09/01/2022 22:59, jose1711 wrote:

Hi Jose, I think the special tag mkgmap:set_semi_connected_type was implemented to handle these ways. Did you try to use that?

Hi Jose I don't see from your display which you mean, but, from the OSM area, I think I understand. You could consider adding something like this to highway=footway { existing stuff; set mkgmap:set_unconnected_type=none; set mkgmap:set_semi_connected_type=none; } [existing stuff] Ticker On Sun, 2022-01-09 at 23:59 +0100, jose1711 wrote:

Thank you all for help. The unconnected/semi-connected type seems to do exactly what I want to. Cheers, jose On Thu, Jan 13, 2022 at 12:23 AM Ticker Berkin <rwb-mkgmap@jagit.co.uk> wrote:
