[mkgmap-dev] Doubt when using "road-name-config"

Mon Jun 12 15:49:21 BST 2017

Hi Alexandre,

good!
We already have name="Brasil", I don''t see a need to list the same word as a variant.

Hi Gerd,

"the prefixes are only removed when you zoom out and the full name would be too long to be displayed."

That's it! It's working and I just noticed when I zoomed out. And it makes perfect sense that it works this way.

Regarding the LocatorConfig.xml file, the current default configuration meets my need since I use "BRA". However, I suggest including the variation in Portuguese: <variant> Brasil </ variant>

Many thanks for the support!

Best regards,

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

the prefixes are only removed when you zoom out and the full name would be too long
to be displayed. Sometimes MapSource decides to render the shortened name instead,
sometimes it is not rendered. I think this depends on the "level of details" setting.

The file LocatorConfig.xml is shipped with the mkgmap.jar and contains other country specific
information, e.g.
        <country name="Brasil" abr="BRA" streetBeforeHousenumber="true">
                <variant>BR</variant>
                <variant>BRA</variant>
                <variant>Brazil</variant>
        </country>

Follow the link which I pasted to browse the file content or extract it from the jar
mkgmap.jar\LocatorConfig.xml
I think you can use a modified version of the file when you place it into a directory \resources
in the working directory of mkgmap.

Gerd

Thank you Carlos and Gerd by your answers.

In fact, I don't use the default style, but each way is tagged with "mkgmap:country=BRA", as you can see in a partial sample extracted from a mkgmap execution with echotags:

Way 6761 [addr:city=BRUMADINHO, addr:country=BRA, addr:state=MG, highway=residential, mkgmap:city=BRUMADINHO, mkgmap:country=BRA, mkgmap:label:1=RUA DAS ROSAS, mkgmap:region=MG, mkgmap:street=RUA DAS ROSAS, name=RUA DAS ROSAS]
Way 13983 [addr:city=BRUMADINHO, addr:country=BRA, addr:state=MG, highway=residential, mkgmap:city=BRUMADINHO, mkgmap:country=BRA, mkgmap:label:1=RUA RUBI, mkgmap:region=MG, mkgmap:street=RUA RUBI, name=RUA RUBI]

This is may roadNameConfig.txt file in this test:

##########################################################################
# Section 1
# prefix1:<lang> list of 1st words
# prefix2:<lang> further words to combine with each prefix1 word, separated with a blank
# suffix:<lang> gives list of suffix words

# portugese
prefix1:pt = "Rua", "Avenida", "Travessa"
prefix2:pt = "da ", "do ", "de ", "das ", "dos "

##########################################################################
# Section 2
# Map 3 letter ISO country codes to list of used languages for road names.

lang:BRA = pt
lang:PRT = pt

And in MapSource I'm still viewing the ways with full name prefixed bye "Rua" and "Rua das ":

What can I'm doing wrong?

And Gerd, in your last email you quoted the "LocatorConfig.xml" file. What file is this and where can I find it?

Thanks.

Alexandre

Hi,

Carlos is right for the default style. If you use a very different style, make sure that mkgmap:country contains the
3 letter iso code for the country. See also the file LocatorConfig.xml. I'll try to make that clearer in the coments
in roadNameConfig.txt.

Section 2 is used by mkgmap to know what language(s) is spoken in each
country. You don't have to tell mkgmap what language, but what country.
And it takes that info from bounds file if --bounds parameter is given.
