[mkgmap-dev] Order of objects rendered

Hi Dave,

I think you answered your question already. If you favour a one of the tags, make sure that the corresponding

rule(s) are processed as early as possible. If you want to create two POI for such a case, use the continue statement

so that further rules are processed.

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Order of objects rendered

I saw a note on the tagging list just now that reflects on something I've been curious about for some time. If mkgmap comes upon an object that has two tags, both of which are valid, which one will mkgmap use? Here is the post:

One of the rules we use is the "one feature, one OSM element" [1]
This makes sense for a lot of elements, e.g. if something has the tag: higway=residential it would be silly to also have amenity=restaurant on the same element.
But it is not very uncommon to have a memorial that was created as a piece of art by an artist. One could tag such an object with:

tourism=artwork
historic=memorial

and of course add other relevant stuff like artist_name etc.

But what should be rendered in such a case? The memorial or the artwork?

>From my understanding, once a node or way with a valid code has been encountered during style processing, mkgmap considers it finished and moves to the next item. But let's say I prefer to see the historic=memoriaI tag rendered and don't care about artwork, is there a way to prioritize the assignment of icons to one of those tags?

Cheers,
Dave
