It should be allowed at least in names. A long time ago, I added a rule
to the default style that applies the names from type=boundary relations
to the lines, and I used the slash as a separator. It worked on my
Garmin Edge 705.
I think that the rule was effectively removed later, by the special
processing of boundaries. The rule is still there (or was as of r3643),
in the file resources/styles/default/relations, but probably
unreachable. I no longer have any Garmin device, so I cannot reliably
test this.
BTW, note that ${attribute} and $(member_attribute) refer to different
objects in the apply rules. I implemented the logic for
$(member_attribute), so that you could write such rules in the first
place. The $() syntax refers to the attributes of relation members,
while ${} refers to the attributes of the relation on which the apply is
being executed.

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Slash character in name
I have noticed that the slash, plus all following text, is mostly suppressed on my Nuvi 2795. The official Garmin maps manage to use a slash between multiple refs and destinations - maybe they are escaping it in some way? Looking at the same file with BaseCamp shows that the full text is present in the map file, so the problem is (at least partially) with the device and how it handles the strings. In the past I remember it working on my old 255W, although the spoken instructions stopped at the slash, so "A1/M2 Destination" would be read out as "A1" only. //colin On 2015-12-22 15:34, Brian Egge wrote: > For destinations or names with more than one line, it's common to have each > line separated by a forward slash.

[mkgmap-dev] Slash character in name
For destinations or names with more than one line, it's common to have each line separated by a forward slash. I've tried to customize my map to replace semicolon with slash, but the slash does not appear. Is the slash an allowed character in a name or destination? I'm using the Latin1 character set.
