Yep, that's the 'correct' solution that I am assuming, without having actually delved in to the code at the moment. The solution outlined by cp15 (see Liz's earlier message) is to modify attr_longest_match to return more than just one match when appropriate. The hard part will be deciding how to determine when more matches should be returned and what those matches should be. Returning too many matches will greatly increase the size of the Navit map file, which is obviously undesirable. -- Sam Couter | mailto:s...@couter.id.au OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] Routable Garmin Maps for NSW
A while back I could download the zip file for NSW from osmaustralia.org, unzip it rename the img file to gmapsupp.img, copy it onto the Garmin Nuvi and I would have routable osm maps on the Garmin, Recently when I do this the maps are not routable at all and when you try to set a route, it just sets off cross country Am I doing somnething wrong? Do the overview and TDB files come into it somehow? And still, poi searching is fine but street names are not. PS - is navit useful yet (maybe with some decent voice commands). I'll have to check out Gosmore as well to see if it has improved voice commands. Cheers Nick ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Is it the 18.16MB (or thereabouts) file from http://osmaustralia.org/garminroute.php The non-routable files are smaller. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Routable Garmin Maps
Thanks John, Excellent - it now works. You were right, Everytime I downloaded the current zip file, I ended up with a 13.6MB zip file and subsequently a 14MB img file. I've now saved it to a completely different locations and now I have a 18.5MB zip file and a subsequent 24.7 MB img file that is fully routable. Thanks, I still don't know what I was doing wrong but I can now show this to some people at work who are showing a lot of interest, in openstreepmap, hence my other questions about navit and gosmore. They were also very interested in whether we had speed limits on all the roads. BTW, I like your mapping work around the ACT area. When Liz mentioned that there were some new divisions near Yass, I thought,... how did I miss them, and planned to visit them the following Saturday, but you got there first. Well Done. There are still some roads between the highway and Yass valley way to be mapped but I only dive dirt roads these days just prior to a service of my car so that they can replace all the air filters etc. Cheers Nick ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Routable Garmin Maps
Ok - I've worked out my problem. I was still using the original link which now points to the non routable img files. I've now adjusted my bookmarks to point to the rouitable ones. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Using routable maps to suggest routes across town is a great way of finding things that need to be fixed. They were also very interested in whether we had speed limits on all the roads. There's very little of that in my neck of the woods. And few multi-lane divided road sections have a lane count specified. I've read that the lanes=n tag on these can influence routing. There are still some roads between the highway and Yass valley way to be mapped but I only dive dirt roads these days just prior to a service of my car so that they can replace all the air filters etc. There's a lot to be done, all over the place. I'm retired, and have an older friend who likes to have a weekly drive from Canberra into the country. We take his SUV, and he appreciates making a positive contribution by seeking out and mapping a couple of new roads each trip. He has a Garmin GPS in his car, and finds the OSM maps I provide him much more accurate than the official Garmin/Sensis maps. These are often out by hundreds of metres on dirt roads, as well as being out-of-date. Sometimes I go back alone to do the more tedious fill in of roads which are residential, or don't in the direction we want.
