[mkgmap-dev] POI (point) resolution problem

Mon Feb 15 06:15:38 GMT 2016

Hi Alexandre,

okay, I was able to reproduce the problem, but I think that mkgmap writes correct data,

GPSMapEdit seems to confirm this. Please post a link to the files produced with cGPSmapper

and the sources for it. Maybe there is a bit flag that controls this behaviour.

Gerd

Hi Gerd,

I done the 2xCtrl-G and the problem persist.

Recapping, I tested with default style to make sure to use the standard.
If you need examples, you can test with aeroway=airport (0x2f04) that  is one type of POI that works as expected (resolution is reflected in the img); and amenity=police (0x3001) which is one where change resolution in points file doesn't have any effect.

Hi ALexandre,

okay, I'll try to reproduce the problem with the default style.

Did you make sure that you press 2xCtrl+G to flush the cache

in Mapsource after changing the map ?

Hi Gerd,

I reported a problem where I was changing the resolution of a POI of type amenity:police in the style file point, and this change wasn't been reflected in the img file produced by mkgmap (it wasn't being shown in the expected zoom level).

Then Thorsten answered me that this is the normal behavior because some kind of Garmin code for POI are shown in fixed resolution or following specific rules depending of the device or software where the img map is installed. So, this means that don't care what resolution I configure in point, it will be ignored.

So, in my last mail I was saying that I disagree with Thorsten position, because when I was using cgpsmapper, I was able to change the resolution of these POI and they were correctly shown in Mapsource and many devices. I mean, if cgpsmapper was able the generate img files respecting the configured resolution, then probably, the fact of points configuration be ignored should be a mkgmap fault instead of a hardware/software environment rule.

Thanks,

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

not sure what you mean here. Do you say that mkgmap produces wrong output

or do you miss an option that cGPSmapper provides?

Hi Thorsten,

I beg to differ, but I still think this resolution problem is a deficiency in mkgmap because in cGPSmapper we got more control and freedom in the resolution setting of POIs, regardless of device or software.

Thanks.

The resolution of POIs depend on the device/software you use to display
the map, not on the map itself. It's hardcoded in the devices and software.
You could only try to use another POI number.
