Hi Frank Some quick comments:
1/ Whatever you need to do to make it run on old versions of Java. 2/ I've always used the pre-build bounds-latest.zip file from https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html which redirects to the site you mention. This global file is designed to avoid the problems you experienced. 3/ in {style}/inc/address, I replace: mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level7=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level7}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level9=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level9}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level10=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level10}' } with: mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level10=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level10|subst:" CP=>"}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level9=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level9}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level8=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level8}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level7=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level7}' } mkgmap:city!=* & mkgmap:admin_level6=* { set mkgmap:city='${mkgmap:admin_level6}' } which works much better for GBR Regards Ticker On Wed, 2023-04-12 at 12:59 +0200, Frank Bijnen wrote: > Hi, > > Recently I offered a good collegue/friend to create a map for his > Garmin GPS60 device of England.
