[mkgmap-dev] map types on different devices

Wed Jan 24 11:17:55 GMT 2024

Hi

The disadvantage of using extended points is that none are findable.

I've had trouble with 0x2b (Lodgings) points showing or not on different devices
(eTrex HCx & eTrex 30x) and software and some subtype# not being findable on
different devices.

HCx has Lodgings (0x2b) "Find" categories:
0:Other,1:Hotel/Motel,2:Bed & Breakfast Inn,3:Campground/RV Park,4:Resort
 and finds 5:Other,...
30x adds 5:Campground,7:"Sporting & Instructional"
 and doesn't show subtypes 3 or 6

I've resorted to generating 2 points with different subtypes for some.

This is my usage of 0x2b:

amenity=shelter & shelter_type=basic_hut
                     [0x2b06 resolution 24 default_name 'Shelter']
tourism=alpine_hut   [0x2b07 resolution 24]
tourism=bed_and_breakfast [0x2b02 resolution 24]
# eTrex Legend & 30x use different codes for campsite, have both!
tourism=camp_site    [0x2b03 resolution 24]
                     [0x2b05 resolution 24]
tourism=caravan_site [0x2b03 resolution 24]
                     [0x2b05 resolution 24]
tourism=chalet       [0x2b02 resolution 24]
tourism=guest_house  [0x2b02 resolution 24]
tourism=hostel       [0x2b02 resolution 24]
# Have both hotel &| restaurant POIs
tourism=hotel | tourism=motel {set tmp:stopMopUp=yes}
                     [0x2b01 resolution 24 continue with_actions] 
tourism=lean_to      [0x2b05 resolution 24 default_name 'Lean-to']
tourism=wilderness_hut [0x2b07 resolution 24 default_name 'Wilderness hut']
tourism=resort       [0x2b04 resolution 24]
