[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH] some natural points

Sat Jun 20 21:23:16 BST 2009

Some natural=* POI values were missing from the translation.  On the Edge 705,
natural=wood will be displayed with an icon.  That would be useful for marking
the names of forest areas in cities.

The other two (natural=rock, natural=water) will be displayed as hollow
white circles by the Edge 705.  The attribute natural=rock is not listed at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:natural, but I thought that it
would be OK to mark large rocks (diameter over 1 m) as natural=rock.

Please apply the attached patch.

On a related note, when I tested this, I originally downloaded a small
area and tried to create a map.  The map was blank when zoomed at anything
closer than 80 m.  No tooltips were presented for any roads or POIs, and
the Edge 705 complained something about no POI information being available.
The bounding box of the download was as follows:

minlat='60.3461917134347' minlon='25.0977978880827'
maxlat='60.3564969730713' maxlon='25.1192281119173'

Surprisingly, routing worked, even though the map was blank at closer zoom
levels (tested 20 to 50 m).

Ultimately, I edited a 180MB *.osm map tile in a text editor and changed
some attributes there.  When compiled, that map tile was displayed OK.

Regards,

	Marko
