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

Mon Dec 20 09:59:32 GMT 2021

Hi Ticker,

OK, I see. It seems to work out for most of the delta values.
Deltas are 6,9,6,4,3,2,5,2,3,3,1,4,9,4

I'll try to find out if I can modify the tree so that it matches all numbers. Probably sometimes I found too short codes.
Good finding!

Gerd

Hi Gerd

Are you OK with the idea of the letters at any level being to the
right. Then the letters at this level take decreasing values. When
exhausted, the next lower slot will be the start of the next level, so
subtract 1 to find it and append '1' to the bit-string to get the
starting position for the next level.

in the test map there is, say:

000002cf | 000019 | 11                      | struct level: 17
000002d0 | 00001a | 15 50 00 00             | struct for 17
000002d4 | 00001e | 10                      | struct level: 16
000002d5 | 00001f | 19 80 00 00             | struct for 16
000002d9 | 000023 | 0f                      | struct level: 15
000002da | 000024 | 1c c0 00 00             | struct for 15

The differences between the first byte after the level indicator ie 15,
19 & 1c) give 4 and 3, which are the number of letters at level 17 and
level 16
