Re: [mkgmap-dev] grade3 tracks

2010-03-10 Thread Gert Münzel

Hi Daniela,


*From* Daniela Duerbeck wrotes *on* /Tue Mar 9 01:59:57 GMT 2010/

Hi!

This is just cosmetics but I'd like to know what I have to add in the
typ file that grade 3,4. etc tracks do not get the labels grade 3, etc
in my device.

TIA. Dani
   
I suppose grade ... is the real label and not an alternate out of the 
typ-file.
If you use MapTk from http://maptk.dnsalias.com/ to manage and compile 
the type-file, simply set the text size for the object type e.g from 
standard size of text to no text. It's TextSize=1 in plain text 
*.prj file which necessarily you have created.
At least it works like if you switch off the visibility of the street 
label in  your GPS with the difference that only streets of these object 
type are affected. And it has to be noted, that you can't switch it on 
on the GPS.


cheers Gert

Hi, Daniela,
i just saw that you work with these online typ-editor.

There you have to switch on Text Labels: extended Labels. Afterwards 
the progamm page opens some more options.
One is Font style. Set it to no label.

If, by forever, you mean about an hour, then yes. :-)

Last week, I generated a map of the entire Geofabrik Europe extract.
The coasts of Finland appeared to be correctly generated. This took
about 20 hours on my laptop though (memory seemed to be the main
bottleneck). The same for an Osmosis extract of the bounding box of
Germany takes a few hours. I would expect something similar for
Finland, even with the much more complex coastline.

Maybe you should just start your map generation and then do something
else away from your computer for an hour or two. ;-)

Cheers.

I have not kept exact records, but I believe it is between one and two  
hours when I take just finland.osm.bz2. Yesterday I had the patience to  
wait for generating a map of just natural=coastline, one tile, but my  
Edge 705 did not like the result, presumably because of too large tile  
size.

It seems that my attempt at merging missing coastline to Geofabrik's  
finland.osm.bz2 with Osmosis is failing for some reason. If I extract  
the natural=coastline of the merged map and view the result in JOSM,  
the problematic islands are still incomplete.

Now I am trying another approach: removing the partial islands from  
finland.osm.bz2 and adjusting the latitude on the eastmost point on the  
coast, to create a vertical line on Baltic bay near the Finnish border.  
That is a simple matter of

bzip2 -dc finland.osm.bz2|perl -e ...finland.osm
splitter ...
mkgmap ...

This has the advantage that I do not have to download any extra  
coastline, and it will be easier to see the data boundaries on the  
device.

Mind you, I have been tuning my approach and rerunning mkgmap all day.  
:-) I will update http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/ as soon as I get it  
right (hopefully today).

Done. My osm2img.sh script is already there, and the gmapsupp.img will  
be soon. Actually the gmapsupp.img will be from an older version of the  
script that did not adjust the coastline at the NW, so I got exactly  
one generate-sea warning for that.

Hello Daniela,

You should be able to do it with the online TYP editor (if you mean 
http://ati.land.cz/). Doing this with an hex editor is not so trivial, because 
you will have to add some bytes and then you will have to update new data 
offsets. If you look at the online editor perl script (which is very good), you 
will see that is not so easy.
Another solution is to try makeTyp. It makes only NT1 TYP and is able to deal 
with pictures instead of XPM patterns.

David
