Re: [mkgmap-dev] Building northeast map

[Brian Egge]

Thanks Gerd,

I've been adding/fixing city boundaries in my area, so I'm trying to create
my own bounds file. If an admin_level2 can't be found, does it use the
*--country-abbr
*option?

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Building northeast map

[Gerd Petermann]

Hi Brian,

I think your problem is caused by the fact that your input file doesn't contain 
the boundary for the USA.
That's the reason for the --bounds option, the typical use is to download the 
boundaries for planet
from e.g. 
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html

If you want to create your own bounds file, you should make sure to have 
complete continents.

The style rules in the inc/address  file expect that mkgmap:admin_level2=USA
but this will not happen if the bounds file doesn't contain enough of the 
boundary.

I've built my own gmappsup for the US Northeast and loaded it into my Garmin. 
My script for doing so is roughly as follows:
[[ us-northeast-latest.osm.bz2 -nt northeast.om5 ]] && bzcat 
us-northeast-latest.osm.bz2 | ../osmconvert/osmconvert - -o=northeast.om5[[ 
northeast.om5 -nt northeast-boundaries.o5m ]] && ../osmfilter/osmfilter 
northeast.om5 --keep-nodes= --keep-ways-relations="boundary=administrative 
=postal_code postal_code=" -o=northeast-boundaries.o5mjava -cp 
../mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar 
uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.reader.osm.boundary.BoundaryPreprocessor 
northeast-boundaries.o5m bounds/
java -jar ../mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar \  --gmapsupp \  --mapname=20355490 \  
--description="Northeast United States" \  --country-name="United States" \  
--country-abbr=US \  --region-name="Northeast" \  --region-abbr=NE \  --index \ 
 --location-autofill=nearest \  --housenumbers \  --route \  
--add-pois-to-areas \  --bounds=bounds \  --add-pois-to-areas \  
--process-destination \  --process-exits \  *.osm.pbf
I've loaded the result onto my Garmin Nuvi. When I attempt to do an address 
search, it first asks me for the City, but the cities I'm looking for don't 
show up in the search. Oddly, when it shows the closest cities I can see some 
of them, but when I do a text search it shows distant oddballs. For example, 
with 'New York', I see:New York, FLNew York, TXNew York Mills, MN
None of these are the New York I'm looking for. I don't even think they are in 
my input file, but are perhaps coming from the internal memory on my GPS.
It does appear the NYC addresses are working better - I can see the Bronx Zoo 
is in The Bronx and Carnegie Hall is in New York, however, I can't key in an 
address to see if it works because of the address search issue.
Another thing which has me puzzled is why some POIs are not showing the 
city/state. For example Desert Moon Grille is in Danbury, Connecticut. I can 
find it doing a Food POI search. That works fine. But, when I select it, it 
shows "Not_set, Fairfield County". Nomination gets the address perfect: Desert 
Moon Fresh Mexican Grille, 113, Mill Plain Road, Danbury, Fairfield County, 
Connecticut, United States of America . I'm compiling my own bounds file, so 
I'm surprised it hasn't worked.
