[mkgmap-dev] Garmin Lines Visibility

Tue Feb 11 11:35:06 GMT 2020

I played with 3-digit points and found mkgmap not being able to compile a Typ file containing these.
E.g. points with code 0x137/00-0x137/09 appear in the compiled typ as points with the same code 0x001/00 for all of them.

My input file is a txt-file prepared with TypViewer, with which I can save such a file as Typ correctly.

I never stumbled upon this before, but it might be known to others.
Is there a workaround, or a mistake by me?
