[mkgmap-dev] Garmin uses overlapping tiles

Tue Feb 6 13:57:07 GMT 2018

Hi Gerd,

I have some questions.

Is TRE area bigger than DEM area or tiles overlap but still DEM area is 
bigger than TRE? It looks like overlap is 4 Garmin's units, this is less 
than DEM raster size.

Is it a typo? I guess: polygon 0x4B and 768856

Does map data overlap too, or this is only extended rectangle size 
written to TRE header? If backgrounds don't overlap, maybe real map data 
don't either. If I get border value right, than maybe tile is extended 
only at left and top border?

What about routing nodes, if splitter creates overlapped tiles? I think 
there should be an external routing node where road crosses tile border. 
There would be mismatch, if tiles overlap.
