Hi
I noticed a while ago that "test-map:all-elements" stopped working
correctly. The map it generated showed a box around the map area, but
within the map area, the device said 'no-map' and didn't show anything,
however POI searches did work.
I tracked it down to a couple of lines added to
mkgmap/build/MapBuilder.java : processInfo()
if (!(src instanceof OverviewMapDataSource))
poiDisplayFlags |= TREHeader.POI_FLAG_DETAIL;
poiDisplayFlags is byte 0x3f in TRE
So:
Old maps and old all-elements, with poiDisplayFlags = 0 worked.
New maps, with poiDisplayFlags = POI_FLAG_DETAIL, work, but all
-elements doesn't.
One of differences between a typical map and all-elements is that all
-elements doesn't output a standard background (polygon 0x4b covering
the complete map area); changing it to do so, then all features get
displayed.
However, transparent maps don't have a standard background and they
work. Trying option --transparent with the original version of all
-elements makes it work.
I don't know if this behaviour was known or expected, but I thought it
worth-while to note it down in this post.
I didn't want all-elements to have a standard background so I've added
--transparent to the comment about how to invoke it, also a few other
option suggestions.
The other change I made was to show elements against a green background
as well as no background, as I was having trouble spotting many line
-types that my new device shows as white.
I've attached a patch for this.
Regards
Ticker
