[mkgmap-dev] License File

Sat Apr 18 20:12:03 BST 2020

Hans,

yes, in the java code I find
                                .replace("$LONGDATE$", now.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.LONG)))
                                .replace("$SHORTDATE$", now.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.SHORT)))
so the underscore should be removed from the documentation.

Gerd

All,

paramter --license-file=filename

Specify a file which content will be added as license. The license file must be UTF-8 encoded. The following symbols will be substituted by mkgmap: $MKGMAP_VERSION$, $JAVA_VERSION$, $YEAR$, $LONG_DATE$, $SHORT_DATE$ and $TIME$. Time and date substitutions use the local date and time formats. All entries of all maps will be merged in the overview map.
Not working:
$LONG_DATE$, $SHORT_DATE$

All others work.

Regards Hans

Hi Gerd, now I understand where the file came from, I don't propose any
changes to the code, but attached is a patch to the documentation that adds
some information to assist users in making use of the --nsis option.

I have also replaced most of the occurrences of MapSource with BaseCamp as
MapSource was superseded 10 years ago by BaseCamp.

Also simplified the --index documentation - I think the information about
two indexes and sending a map to the GPS that is  currently included is
confusing and unnecessary, but you may not agree.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

see also content of directory mkgmap\resources\installer. I know that Minko
uses his own version of the file license_template.txt for the OFM maps.
Also Thorsten Kukuks scripts seem to create these files in his scripts.

If we change something here we have to do it with great care.

Gerd

Answering my own question - I have realised that this is created by the
--nsis option, which I had mistakenly got in my config file, and is used by
the NSIS installer rather than the maps themselves. However, it seems
illogical to me that this should not use the contents of --license-file.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi all, I notice that mkgmap creates a file named <mapid>000_license.txt
that contains the following text:

Map data (c) OpenStreetMap and its contributors
http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

This map data is made available under the Open Database License:
http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/.
Any rights in individual contents of the database are licensed under the
Database Contents License: http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1.0/
Map created with mkgmap-r4473M

This does not seem to be displayable in either Basecamp or Mapsource and
does not contain the txt from my --license-file option. Can anyone explain
what this file is for and whether there is a registry setting to get
Basecamp/Mapsource to display it? Also whether there is a reason it does not
contain the text from the --license-file option?

Cheers,
Mike
