[mkgmap-dev] Could not open style file

Tue Oct 30 19:14:43 GMT 2012

Thank you for your suggestions. It doesn't work when the --style-file 
parameter is given in the command line in any way. A few minutes ago I 
read on a website that all the parameters could also be put in a kind of 
configuration file which then could be given to mkgmap by the "-c"
parameter. Surprise - this works! Don't ask me why, I happy with that.

Thank you again for all your help.
