[mkgmap-dev] Garmin uses overlapping tiles

Tue Feb 6 14:32:43 GMT 2018

Hi Andrzej,

hard to say where exactly the DEM area ends on the right / bottom side.

I got the info about 0x4a polygons from GPSMapEdit looking at the basemap.
MapSource shows the tile boundary more or less exactly at E16.5, so I have no idea
whrere the 0x4a value comes from.

I don't plan to change splitter, I want to change the TRE file written by mkgmap.
Working on a patch right now ...

Gerd

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.
