[mkgmap-dev] backwards compatability: mapfeatures

Sun Feb 22 17:01:06 GMT 2009

Hallo,

I am using mkgmap for building a topo-map with a lot of selfmade icons.
Since it is working ok (and in my opinion a little easier to keep the
overview), I am still using the mapfeatures option.

The problem is now, that everything works ok with the ancient mkgmap
version r659, but if I use a more recent version, only some of the icons
are created, some are missing and some get a wrong symbol.

Can anybody please check, what's wrong with my data or with the usage of
the mapfeatures option in more recent versions of mkgmap?

Here is my osm-example-file, with all items placed at N53 E09

And here is my mapfeatures and my typ file.

The correct display of the icons created with mkgmap r659 can be seen at

Thanks,
