[mkgmap-dev] using mkgmap:admin_level2 in polygons

Fri Feb 19 19:52:29 GMT 2021

Hi,

I wanted to "display" counties using invisible polygons (so names are displayed when hovering in BC or GPSr).
It is a multi-country map and county definitions differ from country to country so I tried using mkgmap:country (mkgmap:admin_level2).

In the style manual mkgmap:admin_level2 is defined as "Name of the boundary=administrative relation/polygon with admin_level=2 the element is located in"
However, when I used the following rule in my style polygons file some counties were skipped:

mkgmap:admin_level2=HRV & boundary=administrative & admin_level=6 & name=* [0x16 resolution 14]

Using echotags I found that mkgmap:admin_level2 was set.
However, some of the counties had it set to neighbouring country codes (SVN, BIH, SRB) and didn't pass.

Example county:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/226749

Actually, splitter splits the map into more then one tile, so the county gets split too.
In some of the tiles mkgmap:admin_level2 gets set to HRV (as expected), but in others it is set to BIH

I used the latest bounds file (20210212) and a custom OSM-map area, but the same happened when testing with croatia-latest.osm.pbf

What am I missing?

regards,
Ranko
