Hi Minko, When responding to your e-mail I realised a mistake in the lines style file which throws everything out so I need to fix and re-work the test, hopefully with some more expected results. 0x05 should be accurate though, and what I mean by 'Opposite direction to that defined in JOSM only' is: In the locally created map using JOSM all my test roads were created running from north to south. But 0x05 in the test (which I usually use for tertiary roads) was only routable south to north. For a automobile it would route down another road further away if trying to go north to south, for a walker it would show a dialog stating something like "Error: Failure to calculate route". For both it would route from south to north. As for the rest (essentially everything >= 0x0a [it was an exceedingly menial task and instead of going from 0x00-0x1f my brain froze and went from 0x00-0x31]), this all needs reworking and I'll give the results either later this evening or tomorrow. But preliminary results suggest there are many routes which both show as expected in Basecamp (i.e. as defined in TYP file) and are routable in both directions. Note: initial tests are in Basecamp (and the odd confirmation in Mapsource) only, I have done no testing on a device and do not expect to do so until I have tested the first 64 codes (0x00-0x3f) in Basecamp. Additional test: removing name attribute so I know what Garmin thinks the line type should be. All this has probably been done before somewhere, but it keeps me off the streets for a while ;-) Geoff. -----Original Message----- From: Minko Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 11:08 AM To: Development list for mkgmap Subject: Re: [mkgmap-dev] Useful routable line types Geoff, Interesting experiment. What do you mean by 'Opposite direction to that defined in JOSM only'? I dont understand that some lines not show in Basecamp if you use a TYP file? Have you activated all line types? I can see 0x11, 0x1e 0x1f with or even without typ file in Basecamp. Another remark, 0x14 (railways) are not shown at lower zoom levels on a GPS device. Only on the highest levels.

I’ve been experimenting with the first 32 type codes (0x00-0x31) in Basecamp to see which types are shown and which are routable for walkers and automobiles. Some of the results may be of interest to others like me who are running out of routable ways and can be found in the ODS attached.

Yes just corrected lines file and done another test. I did not make any changes to 0x05 but it is now routable north to south???!!!!! I don't believe there are any more mistakes, I am very puzzled. Geoff. Minko <ligfietser@online.nl> wrote:

Geoff, 0x05 should route as good as other routable lines, so there must be another issue with your test data. So the only question which of those lines are routable or not routable ;-) _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://lists.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
