[mkgmap-dev] How to label maps generated by mkgmap -r3742

Mon Jan 9 06:08:06 GMT 2017

Hi Greg,

I don't think that the style has an influence here.
I think we have three problems here:
1)  the documentation is not very clear about the meaning of the different options to set a name or id.
For example, the "series-name" is (only) stored in the *.tdb file, the "description" is stored in each *.img file.
2)  the template.args file generated by splitter sets (overwrites) the options "mapname", "description", and "input-file".
3) mkgmap processes the OSM input files and the TYP file first, then it starts the so-called combiners
which create the gmapsupp.img, the *.tdb and other files like *.nsis, *.mdr, *.mdx etc.
This means that the combiners are started with the last values of "description" and "mapname".

So, if you want the description "XYZ" in your gmapsupp.img you have to use a command like this:
java ... mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp ... -c template.args master_thin.txt --description=XYZ
or (maybe easier  to understand)
java ... mkgmap.jar ... -c template.args master_thin.txt --description=XYZ --gmapsupp

@Steve: I hope I got that right. I seem to remember that you plan to change something here to make this more transparent?

Gerd

I did not see the hint of option position. I tried to follow the document attached to mkgmap and put my options in that sequence.

I tried your suggestion using my custom style file:

java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar \MKGMAP\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap.jar --family-id=666 --family-name="Michigan" --product-id=3 --series-name="MI_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --description="MI_1-5THIN_BC" --gmapsupp --style-file=\MKGMAP\BaseCamp-style\openmapchest --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=\MKGMAP\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=MI-ov --overview-mapnumber=12390000 --remove-ovm-work-files --check-styles --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args master_thin.txt
pause

I did not see where --description should be placed. I stuck my --style-file just behind --gmapsupp. This created a map named "US-West Bloomfiled Township" in BaseCamp and on my Garmin Montana 600. Does this mean my custom style file is causing this improper map labeling.

Attached is mt style file

Hi Greg,

you probably missed my additional hint about the position of the option. I tried this command (uses default style)
java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar d:\MKGMAP\dist\mkgmap.jar --family-id=665 --family-name="Ohio" --product-id=3 --series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --gmapsupp --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=f:\osm\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=OH-ov --overview-mapnumber=12380000 --remove-ovm-work-files --check-styles --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args

and I see the string "OH_1-5THIN_BC" in the *.tdb file and in the gmapsupp.img.

I am using "--series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" (you can see in my mkgmap command, pasted previously) and I do not see this label in BaseCamp nor on my Garmin Montana 600. You can see that I never specify "US-Mansfield" (which is the label I see in BaseCamp and on my GPS) in either my splitter command nor my mkgmap command, so I assume it is coming from cities15000.zip (from the splitter side)

Ahh, ok, that should be --series-name. The help says:
--series-name
        This name will be displayed in MapSource in the map selection
        drop-down. The default is "OSM map".

I understand that --geonames labels individual map tiles with the largest city name in 'cities15000.zip'.

I am trying to generate a gmap for each state in the USA. The example I gave was for the state of OHIO. The generated gmap file, when opened in BaseCamp and my Garmin Montana 600, has the label "US-Mansfield" instead of "OH" or one of the other labels I was trying to associate with this gmap of OHIO. It is very confusing because I am generating about 10 states, and each one has a label that seems to be extracted from the cities15000.zip.

How do I control the text I see in BaseCamp or on a Garmin GPS when I look at the list of installed gmaps?

Hi Greg,

I am not sure what you want to achive. When you use the option --geonames-file in splitter
it adds location specific description options for each fie in the generated template.args:
mapname: 63240001
description: ET-Addis Ababa
input-file: 63240001.osm.gz

If you edit those lines before using it in mkgmap you probably get what you want.
Of course it makes no sense to do this each time when you run splitter, so I suggest to
keep the modified file and pass it to splitter with the --split-file.
While OSM data grows you have to repeat the process.
I see no easy way to automate that with a script.

Another option could be to modify the content of the cities file.

I am trying to label different maps for each state and the map name seems to be comming from cities15000.zip

Here is my splitter command:

java -Xmx1024m -Xms1024m -ea -jar \MKGMAP\splitter-r560\splitter-r560\splitter.jar --max-nodes=700000 --handle-element-version=keep --mapid="12380000" --geonames-file=\MKGMAP\cities15000.zip --description=OH-greg --max-areas="255" --no-trim --status-freq="600" ohio-latest.osm.pbf
pause

Here is my mkgamp command:

java -ea -Xmx1024M -jar \MKGMAP\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap-r3742\mkgmap.jar --gmapsupp --mapname=Ohio --description="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --latin1 --index --x-split-name-index --bounds=\MKGMAP\bounds.zip --location-autofill=bounds,is_in,nearest --housenumbers --overview-mapname=OH-ov --overview-mapnumber=12380000 --remove-ovm-work-files --style-file=\MKGMAP\BaseCamp-style\openmapchest --check-styles --family-id=665 --family-name="Ohio" --product-id=3 --series-name="OH_1-5THIN_BC" --area-name="My_maps" --min-size-polygon --route --drive-on=detect,right --check-roundabouts --check-roundabout-flares --remove-short-arcs --add-pois-to-areas --add-pois-to-lines --pois-to-areas-placement="entrance=main;entrance=yes;building=entrance" --generate-sea=extend-sea-sectors,multipolygon,floodblocker,close-gaps=6000 --make-poi-index --process-destination --process-exits --tdbfile --poi-address --verbose -c template.args master_thin.txt
pause

I have used 'description' 'mapname' ' family name' 'series-name' I still cannot seem to get my maps to be labeled correctly.

In BaseCamp v4.6.2 the map is labeled "US-Mansfield" and on my Garmin Montana 600 it is also labeled "US-Mansfield"
