[mkgmap-dev] Swaziland changed name to Eswatini

Hi Dave,

I don't understand why a oneway needs arrows on the left or right side. Or do you think about cycleways for which the position is not given otherwise?
Anyway, it should be easy enough to add this tag in the same process that adds e.g. mkgmap_adminlevel2=*

Hi,

This looks good to me.

With regards to Joris' enquiry, if there is no way to use information in LocatorConfig.xml in a style file to differentiate between drive on left and right roads would it be possible to include code that uses LocatorConfig.xml information to add a tag to ways, when they are processed, indicating they are drive on right/left. This tag could then be used in the style file to allocate the appropriate one way type. In a drive on left country the oneway arrows should be on the left of the road, if they are on the right they will get mixed up in the centre of a dual carriage way for example. This makes more sense when 2 countries that drive on opposite sides of the road border each other and the map created covers both countries. Not something that happens in Europe but does in Central/Southern Africa, Zambia, DRC and Angola for example.

Kind regards,

Dave

Hi,

No complains on the change,

I have recently searched for this LocatorConfig.xml after reading some posts, but could not find it in the mkgmap zip.

I like to visualize the one-way arrow differently for drive-left countries.

And for that reason want to use a different overlay line code which shifts the arrow to the other side of the road in the same direction.

Only because it looks nice for those who drive left.

I see in your example that this property is mentioned there 😉

So I wondered if it would be possible to get this information available within the style rules.

Kind regards and above all.. enjoy the weekend

Joris

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eswatini

The attached patch changes LocatorConfig.xml to reflect this change. Any complains?
