[mkgmap-dev] Limit the number of highway shields in basecamp and gps

Mon Mar 12 08:54:19 GMT 2018

Hallo Gerd

Changing the detailed-level in basecamp does help but has also impacts on the rest. It's actually shifting the 'problem' to a different zoomlevel.

Basecamp or  my Oregon decides where to show such shields but no idea which mechanism is used to calculate such and if its possible to influence that behaviour when building the map..

Example

Screenshot shows city of Bilbao (N43° 17.489' W3° 00.430') in northern Spain at basecamp level 'Average'

Motorway, Trunks and primary all have different highway shield s

For example:  Having 2 to 4 shields of N-634 would be enough.

highway = motorway {name '${ref | highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' | '${ref | highway-symbol:hbox}' | '${name}'}

highway = motorway {name '${ref | highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' | '${ref | highway-symbol:hbox}' | '${name}'}

highway = trunk {name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

highway = trunk {name '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:hbox}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

highway = primary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:box} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:box}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

highway = primary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:box} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:box}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

highway = secondary | highway = tertiary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:oval} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:oval}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

highway = secondary | highway = tertiary {name '${ref|highway-symbol:oval} ${name}' | '${ref|highway-symbol:oval}' | '${name}'; addlabel '${name} (${ref})'}

Hi Joris,

the ony switch that I know is the "map detail (level)" (ranges from lowest to highest). No idea if that helps.

If not, please provide the location of such an area.

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Limit the number of highway shields in basecamp and gps

Hello

Is there a way to limit the number (or extend the distance) of highway shields in basecamp?

On some zoomlevels the usage of ${ref | highway-symbol:hbox}' generates so many boxes, making the map difficult to read.

Thx

Joris
