[mkgmap-dev] space before name

Sun Dec 8 08:06:52 GMT 2019

Hi Nick,

please explain. I still don't fully understand the code in method Label.squashSpaces(). It replaces sequences of so called white space characters by a single blank.
A whitespace character "\s" is defined here:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html

When you say "that would be an excellent idea" I wonder if I should better remove the call of Label.squashSpaces() instead of adding a new option.

Gerd

Hi Gerd

I think this would be an excellent  idea as surrounding icons with
transparent spaces in a TYP file  does not do the trick - Garmin simply
ignores them .

Also, interestingly, Garmin (Basecamp) does not support chr$(9) (TABS) -
have tested this in a TYP file (it accepts chr$(10) )
