[mkgmap-dev] search for cities on GPSMAP 66s/st and etrex 32x

Tue Nov 23 18:26:50 GMT 2021

Hi.
--family-id is set to individually 7770, 7780, 7790.

mapid, is that the same as --mapname?
They are also set individually.
--mapname = 77700001, 77800001, 77900001. 

The complete list of options is:
--max-jobs \
--family-name="NE EUR" \
--family-id=7770 \
--mapname=77700001 \
--draw-priority=21 \
--latin1 \
--net --route --index --split-name-index \
--make-poi-index \
--housenumbers \
--add-boundary-nodes-at-admin-boundaries=2 \
--output-dir=tiles_7770/ \
--bounds=bounds/ \
--precomp-sea=sea/ \
--style-file=styles_7770/ \
--description="NE EUR routable normal." \
--make-poi-index \
--add-pois-to-areas \
--lower-case \

I could try removing --make-poi-index which i dont know exactly what it does, 
but seems to be outdated for "moden" devices.

I am also preparing a TYP-file, do i need to give the family-id to the TYP file 
or can i use one genereic for all maps? I currently use one generic, but 
perhaps i should compile it with each specific family-id before using with each 
map?

Regards
Karl
