[mkgmap-dev] Version r3118 error compared to r2718 0x6508 self answered

Sun Mar 23 01:18:16 GMT 2014

Hi All

I was a bit suspicious of me including a POI in a polygon file, so went
looking, and found that in the current default style files it was in the
point of interest files.  So a quick change and version r3118 is working
well.  So looks like somewhere on the line the logic in mkgmap was
strengthen to pick up what would be a logic error by having POI in polygons.
Or at least that is my feelings.

Just for some information.   Version r2718 generated an img file of 39,439kb
based on contours and an OSM file of 15,909kb.  Version r3118 is 35,491kb so
either an impressive amount of data compression efficiency has been achieved
(something that was mentioned on this mailing list) or data is missing.
Anyway, now the on ground testing can start to see what is the case.

Cheers and thanks

Hi All

I must admit I am an infrequent updater of the version of mkgmap and also
use my own style and typ file that is gradually varying from the standard
style and typ files.  Also while subscribed to this group 99% of the posting
are past my level of knowledge.

Anyway, when upgrading from version r2718 to r3118 the following error
message appeared with no img file been created.

Error in style: Error: invalid type 0x6508 for POLYGON in style file
inc\water_polygons, line 14

The type 0x6508 is a type that I added in the style file

 Waterfall [BER 01.07.2013]

# --------------------------

natural=waterfall | waterway=waterfall  [0x6508 resolution 20]

Also I modified the typ file "borrowing" on another's work so this appears

SubType=0x08

String1=0x04,Waterfall

I notice that the above is a point of interest (single node) but i have put
it in the polygon file.

With version r2718 everything worked well, but with r3118, or possibly
earlier versions something has crept in that is producing the error.

As always, any help or pointers would be handy.

Cheers
