[mkgmap-dev] Question about Resolutions in Default Style.

Fri Aug 26 23:54:14 BST 2011

I would like to understand a few statements in the default mkgmap style:

The default 'option' file defines resolutions as:
levels = 0:24, 1:22, 2:20, 3:18, 4:16.

Yet in 'polygons' file the following line exists:
natural=sea [0x32 resolution 10]

and in 'lines' file the following line exists;
natural=coastline [0x15 resolution 12]

Do these lines have the same effect in this style as the following:
natural=sea [0x32 resolution 16]
natural=coastline [0x15 resolution 16]
or is there a subtle difference?.

Also, in the 'lines' file the following statement exists:
highway=* & area!=yes [0x07 ]

Is the effect of a match to draw [0x07] at ALL resolutions?

Thanks,

Bill.
