Combine any gmapsupp files given as input into the output gmapsupp file
correctly preserving family id's etc.
___
I can confirm that this now works (each layer can be enabled/disabled
and each tile has the correct name), bar one thing...transparency
information is being incorrectly applied to all layers. My mapset is as
follows:
top layer (contours): transparent
mid layer (OSM map): opaque
bottom layer (routing): opaque
The transparency from the top layer is being applied to the lower
layers, meaning that when the GPS draws, it first draws the routing
layer, then the OSM layer, then the contour layer, which is raaally
slow.
This is definitely a mkgmap issue because when I combine the gmapsupp
files using sendmap only the top layer is transparent.
No this is not an mkgmap issue, but an issue in understanding how DP and
transparency work.
If not disabled ALL enabled maps will be drawn.
When I combine maps using sendmap, the routing layer is transferred to
the GPS, but not drawn. So either sendmap 'disables' drawing for
invisible layers in a way that is not yet understood and that mkgmap
does not do, or else sendmap correctly preserves transparency for each
layer and the GPS uses this in an 'intelligent' way to avoid drawing
layers that can never be seen.
1. Opaque maps are drawn, the order depend on the Draw Priority
2. After all opaque maps, the transparent maps are drawn on top, if they
have polygons those polygons will be drawn above non transparent maps.
The draw priority of a transparent map does not matter (the behaviour
what happens if there are several transparent maps is depending on the
unit and a bit erroneus).
-- A mapset can include transparent as well as opaque maps, and also
maps of different DP. You can also include several maps (be they
transparent or not) of the same area into the same mapset.
So if you have three maps you should decide:
a) which maps are transparent, which are opaque
b) which maps to assign which DP
c) decide which maps to put into which mapset (or all into one mapset).
I don't know how the mkgmap --gmapsupp option works, but in the above
you're writing everything is working correctly.
Let me put it like this.
top layer (contours): transparent, draw-priority=28
mid layer (OSM map): opaque, draw-priority=25
bottom layer (routing): opaque, draw-priority=10
If I combine the layers using sendmap, *all* layers make it to the
gmapsupp.img (I know this because I can route). But only the top two
layers are ever drawn by the GPS unit.
If I combine using mkgmap, the GPS draws first the bottom routing layer,
then the mid layer, then the contour layer. Clearly, there is a
difference and the mkgmap behaviour is less desirable because it is much
much slower and causes the GPS to plot a layer that never needs to be
plotted.
