[mkgmap-dev] documentation patch

Wed Jan 24 10:44:38 GMT 2018

Hi Gerd, I don't understand what is meant by a mapset in this context. As I
understand it, a single run of mkgmap builds a map, not a set of maps. The
map may consist of a number of files - is that what you mean by mapset? I
notice there are three other mentions of mapset in the page, but no
explanation of what it means. Can you clarify, perhaps we can come up with a
better term?

Moving the overview-mapname sentence seems sensible.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

thanks again. I stumbled over a change in this section:
old:
        The --overview-mapname option can be used to change these names.  If
        the mapset is sent to the device from MapSource, it will enable
        find by name and address search on the GPS.
new:
        The --overview-mapname option can be used to change these names.  If
        the map is sent to the device by MapSource, it will enable
        find by name and address search on the GPS.

I am not sure if map is better than mapset here.

I also think "The --overview-mapname option can be used to change these
names."  
should be moved directly after 
	If instead the --tdbfile option is given then the index consists
	of two files named osmmap.mdx and osmmap_mdr.img which can be used
	with MapSource.
a few lines above.

Gerd

Hmm, when I first set up my config file (quite a long time ago), I could
only get it to work after examining the one produced by splitter, which has
colons in it. However, after trying again, it does indeed work with equals
as well, so not sure what was going wrong before. Please find attached an
updated patch that clarifies that either form can be used. I've also fixed a
few typos in the documentation as well.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi,

I agree with Henning. BTW: It seems that the format --option:value is also
supported on the command line.

Hi Mike,
are you sure, = needs to be replaced by : in read-config-file? I'm using =
and it seems to work. (At least I think/hope so)

If it looks OK to you, please commit it.
