[mkgmap-dev] Public transport

Hi all,

I think (1) is still open. I have no idea if the proposed change will also work
better for other countries?

It seems that, although the post appeared on the mkgmap web site, most subscribers did not receive it because of the Yahoo! problem http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2014q4/022204.html

Some 'old' tags are also present because I started mapping the data before the new schema was approved. For testing purposes I used the extract from Geofabrik of the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. I used r3433 with the default style and these options: --max-jobs --code-page=1252 --add-pois-to-areas --route --link-pois-to-ways --precomp-sea=sea-20150123211701.zip --generate-sea --index --bounds=bounds_20150129.zip --location-autofill:bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers. Looking at the results, I noticed a number of things.

> This is the result of generic processing of names in the style file inc/name. There are about 3500 railway stations in France and more than half of them are tagged operator=SNCF. I would prefer to see the name in the form Agde SNCF, which was produced by earlier versions of the default style, before the file inc/name was introduced. This is more convenient for searching on a device.

> The Garmin software and the device will only display the first part of the string. I used QLandkarte GT to see the complete string. (For legibility, I have used lower case in the strings, although they are in upper case in the generated map.)

> Earlier versions of the default style produced the result Gare SNCF (1;2;3;4;5,4,4,3,3)+Agglo Hérault Méditerranée, which I prefer. "Gare SNCF" is the name of the bus stop. The earlier version would be essential, to allow you to see the name of the bus stop on a device. What do others think?
