Hi I'm not sure where to post this and hope here would be enough.
Since recently, I'm using Mapnik to render maps for UMP-pcPL which is OSM like project for Poland, mainly for Garmin with biggest priority on usable routing in this devices (many restrictions): http://mapa.ump.waw.pl/ump-www/ http://ump.waw.pl/ In short, I convert polish-format *.mp maps to OSM compatible xml format and render with mapnik and customized styles. I encountered few bugs, that I fixed and decided to share: - TextSymbolizer option allow_overlap was ignored. This was needed to view all available details in closest zoom: http://mapa.ump.waw.pl/ump-www/?zoom=18&lat=52.54352&lon=19.68832&layers=B00000T Fix is only for POI placement. - png256 format had a bug, that reduced random octcubes in process of reducing colors and in effect produced very bad palette in some more crowded places: http://mapa.ump.waw.pl/ump-www/png256_bug.png notice lack of fillings in middle tile, where white color was merged with background gray. After fix, it is fine: http://mapa.ump.waw.pl/ump-www/?zoom=16&lat=52.24661&lon=21.01091&layers=B00000T Strange, it didn't appear yet in OSM maps. This was a bug in implementation: children_[i]->count is !=0 only on leafs parents, so higher levels(with lower index) of reducible_[] were practically not sorted. In attachment there are fixes for both problems. I use mapnik-0.5.1, but patches are prepared svn, as there were no significant changes in affected files in the meantime.
