[mkgmap-dev] [mkgmap-svn] Commit r572: MDR16 is some kind of codebook.

Wed Dec 15 12:07:27 GMT 2021

Hi Ticker,

it's almost impossible to guess when there is only one entry in MDR 30/31 and only one occurence of the code
"00000000000000000000".
I used '#' in my debug code to mark an "unknown" char.

A possible meaning could be that 30/31 are common prefixes and 32/33 are common suffixes in road names.
I doubt that this is related to the Huffman encoding. Maybe the code "00000000000000000000"
simply represents a special character that is replaced with a corresponding string in 30/31?

No idea how that would work with the suffixes.
Gerd

Hi Gerd

Do you think there might be some form of escape sequence that is
followed by a ref to the clear road names in Mdr 30..33. I noticed when
looking at MapInstall manipulated Mdr that the '#' sort got changed.
