[mkgmap-dev] Problem with special Garmin label codes

Mon Sep 28 15:40:26 BST 2009

Hi,

i would like to use also other special Garmin label codes like ~[0x1f] 
not only the highway shields..
I could manage modifiying the "HighwaySymbolFilter.java" of mkgmap by 
adding a symbol.

The usage also works if i only use one special code like in:
highway=secondary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:stname} ${name}' | 
'${ref|highway-symbol:stname}' | '${name}' }
where "stname" is the new symbolentry for ~[0x1f].

But i would use a action like:
highway=secondary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:oval} 
${name|highway-symbol:stname}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:oval}' | '${name}' }
which should be give me as result e.g. a
~[0x06]B51~[0x1f]Hauptstrasse
if ref=B51 and name=Hauptstrasse

But this doesn't work. The second code always is ignored by mkgmap.
How can i get to work?

cheers Gert
