[mkgmap-dev] element type definition as variable

Mon Nov 27 23:37:06 GMT 2017

My maps also have multiple labels and the same issues. To me it looks like Garmin is rendering the order totally random, I cant control it either.

Hi Enrico,
my understanding is this:
The Garmin Renderer collects at all the labels of the ways in the current view, next it starts to calculate possible positions so that
labels don't overlap. If that is true, the position of the label depends on the length of the displayed text. I see no way to tell the
Garmin software which label has to come first and I would be surprised if the Renderer "understands" that your two lines describe
the same object.

Gerd

Hi Gerd, I would tell you that Garmin fully and perfectly supports (=display)
what I want and MapSource/BaseCamp too and in my opinion, it looks very good
;-)

The only problem is the order of display of the 2 lines in some cases but I
don't understand why....

I don't understand if this problem depends on the id number of the object...

Thanks.
