did some experiments in Mapsource and Garmin maps don't suffer from this problem.found a place where the direction of the route defines which way is chosen. makes perfect sense because right turns are faster and easier than left turns. Mapsource will even choose the longer way across the tile

this is really great to get sea polygons. makes maps really much better Don't understand why is there a need for relations? is it common to have relations for coastline? have never seen it. my understanding is the right side of the way is sea, left side is land. how can the knowledge of inner

I will try fixing the data (while fixing 4500 lakes in tiny territory of Lithuania will not be a small task:). Just from my experience adding multipolygons is quite a challenging task for beginners, so I will have to come up with some automated way of at least identifying such forest+water

Re: [mkgmap-dev] Missing lakes

2009-07-27 Thread Apollinaris Schoell
the data is wrong in the first place. a lake and a forest can't be in the same place. the forest should be created as multipolygon with all the lakes as inner ways. if you ask the software to fix bad data it will fail on some corner cases and will succeed in some places. but then random

there is nearly no chance that a gzipped 36Mb osm file file fit into a .img tile. you will need to split it into smaller tiles. On 27 Jun 2009, at 15:59 , Richard Fairhurst wrote: Richard Fairhurst wrote: The first .osm (36Mb) has been chuntering away for an hour and a half and the .img
