[mkgmap-dev] Changes to require name defined in the style file

Fri Mar 28 09:34:33 GMT 2014

Hi Brett,

you are not the 1st and probably not the last to be trapped. 
I thought about a check that warns the user but I found nothing that works always.

Any ideas out there?
How can mkgmap detect that the user has to modify the style to get a usable result?

Hi Gerd
The perfect answer! 
I understand the improved logic of the changes, and yes it makes sense, but a side effect is some work is now required editing the style sheet.  No great hassle as at least I was not going mad.

please look at

Doesn't that answer your questions?

Hi All
Trouble been a bit slow to update or more likely just plain with my styles but I think that somewhere along the line the automatic use of the name changed.  I find I now need to add 
& name=*{name '${name}'}
to any point of interest to display the name.  In the past I think I only needed name=*
No great problem as I can re-work my style sheet but for my own sanity check did this extra vigour in defining the style creep in?
Cheers
