[mkgmap-dev] Land flooded

Wed May 11 10:05:36 BST 2016

I use TYPViewer to do the conversion. v4.5.35

if I convert the .typ file to a .txt file, it produces a different map, if I then convert that .txt file to a .typ file, the map produced is correct.

How can I spot any errors the conversion produces ? I have written software in C# that validates the .txt file it it finds no errors.

But I can't find any documentation on the format of the .typ file so I can check the contents of match.

Most likely: your *.txt file is not in sync with your *typ file
or contains errors. After creating the *.txt file from my *.typ file,
I had to fix a lot of mistakes in it.

The problem gets a little stranger, I use a software package called TYPViewer ( v4.5.35 ) to edit the type files, it has two outputs, one produces a typ file the other produces a txt file. If I use the typ file output I get the map I expect ( without having to specify --transparent or --generate-sea=land-tag=natural=background ) the sea is where it should be, if I use the text file output from TYPViewer then I have problems.
