[mkgmap-dev] Problems with -- gmapi (and possibly --gmapsupp also)

Wed Feb 8 20:33:53 GMT 2017

Steve,

in the process of building all different flavors of map (imagedir, 
gmapsupp, gmapi) first the img files are built and afterward collected 
together. The creation is done by calling mkgmap as follows (cfg file 
attached):

java -Xmx1536M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar D:/fzk/develop/fzk-mde-garmin/Freizeitkarte-Entwicklung/tools/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar  --max-jobs=2 -c Freizeitkarte_LUX.cfg --check-styles
Time started: Wed Feb 08 21:07:23 CET 2017
Found one style in D:/fzk/develop/fzk-mde-garmin/Freizeitkarte-Entwicklung/work/Freizeitkarte_LUX_fr/style/fzk
finished check-styles
Number of MapFailedExceptions: 0
Number of ExitExceptions: 0
Time finished: Wed Feb 08 21:08:04 CET 2017
Total time taken: 40429ms

After the the result is ok, the resulting map shown in BaseCamp (images 
installed via Registry) does show the overview map. As far as I know the 
overview map (as well as the flag to show the heigth profiles) are 
stored in the tdb file, correct ?

Later in the normal process I call jmc_cli to convert the images into 
gmapi format. This does not seem to screw the overview map (inside the 
tdb file put into the gmap folder structure) and also shows the height 
profiles.

But if I use the new functionality of mkgmap to convert the images into 
gmapi format the height profiles and the overview map got lost. The tdb 
and some other files (map files, but not the tile files) have a new 
change time.
The missing heigth profiles could be fixed by just adding 
--show-profiles=1 to the call, but I was not able to get the overview 
map running. The actual call is:

java -Xmx1536M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar D:/fzk/develop/fzk-mde-garmin/Freizeitkarte-Entwicklung/tools/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar  --max-jobs=2 --index --code-page=1252 --gmapi --license-file=Freizeitkarte_LUX.license --product-id=1 --family-id=6442 --family-name="Freizeitkarte_LUX" --series-name="Freizeitkarte_LUX" --description="Freizeitkarte_LUX (Release 17.02)" --overview-mapname="Freizeitkarte_LUX" --overview-mapnumber=64420000 --product-version="1702" 6442*.img 6442.TYP --tdbfile --show-profiles=1

Number of MapFailedExceptions: 0
Number of ExitExceptions: 0
Time finished: Wed Feb 08 21:22:08 CET 2017
Total time taken: 1702ms

I was also trying to call it without the overview options which results 
also in a map without overview map, but just with different (default) 
filenames inside the gmap directory structure.
Calling it without --tdbfile also didn't help.

Any ideas ? Am I doing something wrong due to lack of understanding or 
does mkgmap behave wrongly ?

Thanks and regards
Patrik
